Welcome to TechCarUSA, your trusted partner for expert automotive electronic control module (ECM) services. If you’re looking for Ford ECM relash or OBD2 programming, you’ve come to the right place. We specialize in testing and repairing Ford PCMs, IDMs, and FICMs, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly. This guide will walk you through the simple process of shipping your Ford ECM or PCM to us for our professional relash and diagnostic services.
Why Choose TechCarUSA for Your Ford ECM Relash via OBD2?
At TechCarUSA, we understand the complexities of modern vehicle electronics. Ford ECM relash, sometimes referred to as PCM reflashing, is a critical service for addressing various performance issues, updating software, or even reprogramming after component replacement. Utilizing OBD2, the standard for on-board diagnostics, allows for efficient and accurate communication with your Ford’s ECM. Our experienced technicians are equipped with the latest tools and expertise to provide reliable Ford ECM relash and comprehensive testing. We make the process straightforward, starting with easy shipping.
Simple Shipping Options for Your Ford PCM or ECM
To make the process as convenient as possible, we offer a round trip shipping service. The shipping cost you see on our website covers sending your module to us for testing, repair, or relash, and then shipping it right back to you. This streamlined approach saves you time and effort.
Option 1: Convenient Round Trip Shipping
When you place your order online, we’ll promptly email you a prepaid shipping label. This label is ready to be printed and attached to your package. We partner with major carriers to ensure reliable and cost-effective shipping. Our negotiated rates are often 15%-20% lower than standard retail shipping costs, a saving we pass directly on to you. Our goal is to simplify the process, not to profit from shipping. This service is perfect for sending in your Ford PCM for relash or diagnostics.
Option 2: Direct Shipping with Your Preferred Carrier
If you prefer to use your own shipping method or carrier, that’s perfectly fine too. Simply skip the online checkout process related to shipping. Carefully package your module as described below and ship it to us directly. Please remember to include a completed Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet inside the box. We will then send you an invoice for our services.
Packaging Your Ford ECM or PCM for Safe Transit
Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage to your sensitive electronic module during shipping. Please follow these guidelines carefully:
- Use a Sturdy Cardboard Box: Avoid envelopes, even padded ones. A rigid cardboard box is essential for protection.
- Ample Cushioning: Surround your module with bubble wrap or crumpled paper on all sides. Ensure it is well-protected from impacts and vibrations during transit.
- Remove Unnecessary Components:
- FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module): Detach and remove any rubber grommets before shipping.
- IDM (Injector Driver Module): Do not include the steel mounting bracket when sending your IDM.
- PCM (Powertrain Control Module) / ECM (Engine Control Module): Please remove any plastic mounting brackets from your PCM or ECM before shipping.

Important Note on Packaging Responsibility: You are responsible for ensuring your module is adequately packed. Damage that occurs during shipping due to insufficient packaging is not our responsibility.
Essential Information: Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet
To process your Ford ECM relash or repair efficiently, we require complete information about your vehicle and module. Please download, print, and fully complete our Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet. Missing information will cause delays as we will need to contact you to obtain the necessary details.
Shipping Carrier Options
You are welcome to use the carrier of your choice when shipping your module to us directly. Options include:
- UPS
- FedEx
- USPS (United States Postal Service)
- DHL
- And yes, even Carrier Pigeon (though we recommend a more modern method for speed and reliability!).
For return shipping, we utilize UPS to ensure your module is delivered back to you safely and promptly after we complete the Ford ECM relash or other requested services.
Sending a Chip with Your Ford PCM for Testing
If your Ford PCM utilizes a performance chip and you want us to test it along with your module, please include it in your shipment. To prevent loss or damage to the chip:
- Installed Chip: Ideally, leave the chip installed in the PCM.
- Uninstalled Chip: If the chip is not installed, place it in a resealable bag and securely package it with the PCM. Do not let it loose in the packing material.
