Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean?
It means the engine computer we ship to you has been pre-programmed with your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage. Once installed, it will immediately recognize and communicate with your car’s other modules without needing any further programming from a dealership or specialized mechanic.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can enter your vehicle’s VIN during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as this is crucial for the programming. Your VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Will this fix my car’s transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM plays a critical role in controlling transmission behavior. If the ECM is sending faulty signals, it can cause poor shifting, hesitation, or incorrect gear selection. Replacing a bad ECM often resolves these related symptoms.

Yes. This module is compatible with a full range of part numbers, including 04606838AB, 05094956AC, 68164368AA, 68164368AE, and all others listed in the product details. We ensure the unit you receive is the correct hardware and software match for your vehicle.
