Expert Insight: The Importance of VIN Programming
Many people are tempted to buy a used ECM from a salvage yard, only to discover it won’t work because it’s still programmed for the donor vehicle. The Engine Control Module is the ‘brain’ of your car, and it’s linked to the anti-theft system (immobilizer) and other key components via the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our process of programming this 2011-2012 Dodge Journey ECM specifically to your VIN before shipping is what makes it a true ‘plug-and-play’ solution. It saves you hundreds of dollars in dealer fees and the headache of a vehicle that still won’t start.
