Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. We use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the module with the correct, most current GM software before we ship it. It will arrive ready to be installed.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
How do I know if my ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis is always recommended. This often involves a professional technician using an advanced scan tool to check for communication errors with the ECM (U-codes) or specific internal processor fault codes. A faulty ECM can often mimic other sensor failures, so proper diagnosis is key.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested used OEM part that has been professionally programmed to function like new. Using a genuine OEM module ensures the best possible fitment and electronic compatibility with your vehicle.
Will this fix my vehicle’s anti-theft system issue?
In many GM vehicles, the ECM is tied to the anti-theft or security system. After installation, a security relearn procedure may be required. This is a simple process that can typically be done without special tools and instructions can be readily found online for your specific model.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If the part fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a direct replacement. Please contact us for full details and procedures.
