EBCM Swap

Unread post by GUEST » Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:57 pm

I have a bad EBCM on my 2001 Grand Prix GTP.
I have read that you can not simply replace it with one from the junk yard. However. I have found one with matching options and such. Example: GTP, stereo, heads up display etc etc.
My question is can I damage the master brake cylinder if they are not programmed the same?
Is it worth the risk?
It is from the same year, only difference is body paint and interior color.
$200 to send it off to be reprogrammed.

pretty sure that since obd2 that the vin number is programmed into the pcm. Some times it won't make a difference but most of the time the different modules will set a code that says the wrong vin number. Reprogramming can reset the vin number issue.
