Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. This ECM is a complete plug-and-play solution. We handle all the programming before we ship it. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN to load the correct software for your specific Encore.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function correctly.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are being caused by a faulty ECM, this part is the correct solution. However, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Is this compatible with other GM vehicles?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with a very wide range of GM cars, trucks, and vans, including models like the Chevy Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Silverado, and GMC Sierra. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it matches your specific vehicle and options.
What is the security relearn procedure?
In many cases, no additional procedures are needed. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure that takes about 10-15 minutes to perform and involves turning the key in the ignition. We include easy-to-follow instructions for this if it’s necessary for your vehicle.
