The ECM can store some information for a certain length of time, but it's more for safety reasons, airbag deployment and so forth, that also being said, if a car burns to the degree that it sounds like this one did, the ECM would be completely toast, there's no way it would have survived. They need the vehicle to be somewhat functioning to retrieve and info from the ECM.
Actually tho u are probably correct, the cobalt (well mine anyway) comes equipped with an onstar package, i am pretty sure they can tell all of the data that the computer in showing at that moment.

i agree with if th car burned, the ecm is more than likely gone,,,but a friend of mine hit a deer once with his work truck,,,,the insurance company sent out an investigator, who was 400k's away, not that it matters, anyways, he asked buddy "when did it happen, how fast were you going?" he told him, somethign like 105km. the ins. guy plugs his laptop in to the ecm, and proceeds to tell buddy...." you were going 128k's an hour at 4:15pm, then there was a sudden drop in speed with your brakes locked(hitting deer)and then the vehicle stopped." how's that for being caught redhanded??
