The ECM in those years had removable Proms and did not need flashing as new ones do . Some relearning is performed as the vehicle is driven . What quirks are you having ?

unhook the battery for about 15 minutes... that will reset it ... if the stereo is an anti theft type... make sure you know the code and how to enter it.

SOURCE: 1989 lesabre engine codes

26 is a quad driver failure, 41 is a cam sensor failure. I can give you a test procedure for 26 but for 41 you likely need to replace the magnet that is in the cam gear for the cam sensor pick-up.

SOURCE: reset button on an 04 buick lesabre

You can disconnect the battery cables for a couple minutes which typically resets the ECM to some predetermined (default) settings which may make your vehicle run or respond slightly different than it currently does but as you drive the vehicle it will relearn and adjust as needed. If you prefer to wait awhile then it will turn off itself after several --several cycles of the ignition ;so long as the problem is fixed or no longer exists and there are no other problems.

SOURCE: I need to locate my fuel filter on my 1989 Buick LeSabre

Its under the car.Drive the car on ramps or do whatever to get under the car safely. Buy the new filter so you can see what it looks like. Use safety glasses,a small drain pan and rap some rags over the connection before you take it loose. It is under some pressure, but the pressure will bleed off soon.I hope this helps you.

1989 Buick LeSabre the windshield wipers will not turn off. How do I get them to turn off please.

You should have a wiper fuse in the interior fuse box that you can pull to temporarily turn the wipers off. I suspect that the issue is due to a bad wiper switch which will need to be replaced.
