What you need to know (please read before ordering)

This is a Testing service of your existing module. Please use this service when you don’t see your particular module listed in our regular repair services. Our facility offers full support for gasoline and diesel MEs made by Bosch, Siemens, and Continental. You will need to remove and send your module to us for testing using the shipping labels provided to you.

The order will be processed during our regular business hours (Mon-Fri 8:30 – 5:00 EST). After processing your order, we will email shipping labels and shipping instructions. If you don’t see shipping labels within 1 hour of submitting your order (during business hours) please first check your junk/spam folders. If you still don’t see the labels, please contact us at 1-888-712-2525

Along with the shipping labels, you’ll receive an ECM failure form. Please complete it and give us as much information as you can about the failure. Please include the completed form with your shipment (inside the box).

Once here, your module will be tested and inspected. We’ll then provide you with a repair estimate. Should you decide to go ahead with the repair, the test fee will be credited towards the repair cost.

Please note that since these are Engine Control Modules some functions can only be tested when installed in the vehicle with a working engine, meaning testing can be limited outside of the vehicle. This is one of the reasons why it’s very important to be thorough with your diagnosis as well as provide us with as much information as possible.

On average we can repair the module in one day, as we have a majority of the commonly failing silicone parts in stock. However, in some instances we might have to order new parts and that may take additional time.

If your module is damaged beyond repair (e.g. in cases of water damage, dead short) we can still offer a transfer of the existing software, immobilizer codes, VIN and other data into another unit. Additional charges may apply.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Engine misfire as a result of a lost signal to one or more injectors or ignition coils
• Radiator fan is on continuously
• Permanent no start condition
• Intermittent no start when hot or cold
• No communication with the ECM
• ROM memory failure
• Internal ECM failure
