Installation notes and tips

Verify the VIN, mileage, and tire size before ordering, since this ECM is tied to those vehicle details. Confirm connector count, connector shape, and terminal layout against the original module before installation. Because flash programming is not required, installation can be more straightforward, but the vehicle should still be inspected for related wiring, sensor, or power supply issues before replacing the module.
