How To Ship Your PCM / ECM Safely

Shipping Your PCM / ECM The Right Way

Shipping your engine control module correctly helps prevent damage during transit and ensures faster repair turnaround once your unit arrives at our Miami repair lab.

At AutoPCMS, we recommend carefully packaging your PCM, ECM, ECU, or TCM before shipment to avoid connector damage, moisture exposure, or static-related issues.

Step 1: Remove The Module Carefully

Before shipping your unit:

Disconnect the vehicle battery
Remove the module carefully
Avoid pulling on wiring harnesses
Inspect connectors for broken pins or corrosion

If you are unsure which module to remove, contact us before shipping.

Step 2: Protect The Module Properly

We recommend:

Wrapping the module in bubble wrap
Using a sturdy cardboard box
Securing the unit tightly so it cannot move during transit

Avoid shipping modules loose inside envelopes or thin packaging.

If available, anti-static bags are recommended but not required.

Step 3: Include Important Information

Please include:

Your name
Phone number
Return shipping address
Vehicle VIN
Symptoms or trouble codes
Printed repair form (recommended)

Providing accurate information helps speed up diagnostics and repair processing.

Step 4: Choose A Reliable Shipping Carrier

Most customers use:

UPS
FedEx
USPS Priority Mail

We recommend using tracking and proper insurance whenever possible.

Step 5: What Happens After Arrival?

Once your unit arrives at AutoPCMS:

The module is inspected and bench tested
Faults are identified and repaired
The unit is programmed or cloned if needed
Final testing is performed before shipment

Most repairs are completed quickly with fast turnaround available.
