Technical Details: Understanding the Issue
What is it?
Vehicle control modules (ECM, TCM, BCM, ABS) are computers that control engine, transmission, body, and braking systems. When replaced, they must be programmed with your vehicle's VIN, calibration files, and system adaptations.
Why Does It Fail?
Modules fail due to age, heat, vibration, water damage, or electrical issues. Common failures include ECM (engine control), TCM (transmission), BCM (body/electrical), and ABS (braking) modules.
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Transmission shifting issues
- Electrical system problems
- ABS warning light

Frequently Asked Questions
What modules can you program?
We program all vehicle control modules: ECM/PCM (engine), TCM (transmission), BCM (body control), ABS (anti-lock brakes), TPMS (tire pressure), instrument clusters, and more. We have diagnostic equipment for domestic, Asian, and European vehicles.
Can you program used modules?
Yes, we can program used modules in most cases. The module must be compatible with your vehicle (same part number or equivalent). We program the VIN, load calibration files, and perform adaptations. This saves money compared to new modules.
Do you need the dealer to program modules?
No. We have dealer-level diagnostic equipment for all major brands: Ford IDS, GM Tech2/MDI, Chrysler wiTECH, Toyota Techstream, Honda HDS, Nissan CONSULT, BMW ISTA, Mercedes Xentry, VAG-COM for VW/Audi. We perform the same programming dealers do.
How long does module programming take?
Programming typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the module type and vehicle. This includes diagnostics, programming, adaptations, and testing. We perform this at your location with our mobile service.
Will programming erase my vehicle settings?
Some settings may reset during programming (radio presets, clock, seat positions). However, we preserve critical data like odometer mileage, VIN, and calibrations. After programming, you may need to reset personal preferences.
