Part Description
This used OEM engine control module was removed from a 2001 Honda CR-V donor vehicle equipped with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The ECM is located in the right front kick panel and carries ID number 37820PHKA53. This electronic control unit has been inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment.
The engine control module is the brain of your Honda’s engine management system, controlling fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and transmission operation. ECMs commonly fail due to electrical surges, water damage, or internal component degradation over time, causing symptoms like rough idle, poor fuel economy, transmission shifting issues, or the vehicle failing to start. A faulty ECM will often trigger multiple check engine lights and diagnostic trouble codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ECM need to be programmed for my 2001 Honda CR-V?
Yes, most engine control modules require programming to match your vehicle’s VIN and security system. We recommend having this done by a qualified Honda technician or automotive locksmith with the proper diagnostic equipment.
How do I know if my Honda CR-V ECM is failing?
Common symptoms include check engine lights, rough idle, poor fuel economy, transmission shifting problems, or the engine not starting. Multiple diagnostic trouble codes often indicate ECM failure rather than individual sensor issues.
Is this ECM compatible with manual transmission CR-Vs?
No, this specific ECM is programmed for automatic transmission and AWD models only. Manual transmission vehicles require different programming and may have different part numbers.
What’s included with this used Honda ECM?
You receive the complete engine control module as removed from the donor vehicle. The wiring harness and connectors are not included – you’ll reuse your existing connections.
Can I install this ECM myself?
While the physical installation is straightforward, programming requires specialized diagnostic equipment. Most customers have the installation and programming completed by a qualified automotive technician.
How long do Honda ECMs typically last?
Honda ECMs are generally reliable and can last 200,000+ miles. Failures are often caused by electrical issues, water damage, or voltage spikes rather than normal wear.
