Quick Turnaround: Your module will be tested, repaired, tested again, and sent back to you in the same day (unless otherwise noted).

Quality Tested: All our Volvo ECMs undergo rigorous tests on our specialized custom-built CAN-bus driven testbed. Functions, DTCs, and software are checked and verified for proper operation.*

Please note: that since this is an Engine Control Module some functions can only be tested when installed in the vehicle with a working engine, meaning testing is limited outside of the vehicle.
