Understanding Pre-Programmed Modules (ECU/ECM’s)

At NPC Automotive, our commitment goes beyond just providing automotive modules; it’s about creating the easiest experience for our customers. We cater to a vast range of vehicles, including Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Honda, and Toyota. But a frequently asked question remains: What does a pre-programmed module entail? Let’s delve into the specifics:

Chrysler

All our Chrysler modules, encompassing the powertrain control module and select transmission control modules, are designed for a seamless experience. Often, we encounter queries like, “Do I still need to program the security?” The answer is a resounding no. Our plug and play promise holds true, with a couple of exceptions for newer modules that require a throttle accelerator relearn. But worry not – it’s a quick process, and we provide all the instructions you’d need.

Ford

For Ford modules, it’s a bit varied. Most newer models (circa 2012 and onwards) often require on-vehicle programming due to bench programming limitations. However, modules for years between 1998-2011 are predominantly pre-programmed. Some are plug and play, while others might necessitate on-site key programming. But for the classics (1995 and earlier), it’s always plug and play. Additionally, our Ford fuel injector control modules always come ready for a plug-and-play experience.

General Motors (GM)

Our offerings for GM include powertrain control modules, body control modules, transmission control modules, and specific fuel injection control modules. While our transmission and body control modules are always ready for plug and play, the powertrain modules might sometimes need a passlock procedure. We’ll always support and guide you if such a procedure is required, complete with step-by-step instructions. The fuel injection modules, however, will typically need on-vehicle programming.

Honda & Nissan

On-Vehicle key(s) Programming Required For our Honda and Nissan patrons, the modules will require on-vehicle key(s) programming. It’s a feature of these brands, and we currently don’t offer this service.

Toyota & Lexus

For these brands, our programming capability covers around 30% of the modules. The determining factor? The part number. If we handle the programming, we’ll need information about the vehicle’s security and the number of keys the owner possesses. This is crucial as post-programming, a key-related procedure (which we provide) might be a necessity.

Conclusion

Our goal at NPC Automotive is to ensure that when you purchase a module, you’re equipped with all the necessary knowledge to streamline your experience. Whether it’s a pre-programmed module or one that requires additional steps, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. The journey with us is always about clarity, commitment, and unmatched service.
