    Default Can I Switch An ECM?

    Can an ECM be switched from one XC to another?
    Both are 2001, one is a XC70 while the other is a V70XC.

    This device is not a plug-n-play, is it? Since it is a brain in the car, it hold the vehicle's profile, right?

    The V70XC has an issue I would like to eliminate its ECM as a possible culprit, so am thinking if I can switch the ECMs just to test the V70.

    Thanks

    - No

    But a company such as Xemodex can reprogram a used CEM to work.
