Restore Your Uplander’s Reliability and Performance
Is your Chevrolet Uplander suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or even a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer that manages your van’s engine performance. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your family off the road. This professionally programmed 2006 Uplander ECM is the straightforward, reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can cause a wide range of problems that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a replacement module is often the answer:
- Check Engine Light: Especially with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- Engine Performance Issues: Stalling, rough idling, misfiring, or a noticeable loss of power.
- Poor Fuel Economy: The engine isn’t receiving the correct data for an efficient air-fuel mixture.
- Transmission Problems: Harsh or delayed shifting, as the ECM communicates with the transmission controller.
- Intermittent or Complete No-Start: The module fails to properly manage the ignition and fuel systems.
This unit is your direct-fit solution. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair by pre-programming this 2006 Uplander ECM to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures it has the latest GM software updates and is ready to integrate seamlessly with your van’s existing systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
Think of your vehicle’s VIN as its unique fingerprint. Programming the ECM to this specific VIN isn’t just a suggestion; it’s critical for proper function. This process ensures the ECM can correctly communicate with the anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS), the transmission controller, the ABS module, and other vital components. A generic, unprogrammed module simply won’t work. By providing us with your VIN, you’re getting a component that is truly tailored to your vehicle, ensuring a smooth installation and a return to factory-spec operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple! After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then use this VIN to flash the module with the correct, most up-to-date software directly from GM for your specific vehicle. The unit will arrive at your door ready to be installed.
Will I need to do anything after installing it?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation. This process syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and can typically be done in your driveway with just the ignition key. We can provide instructions for this procedure.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested recycled OEM part. Each unit is verified for full functionality before being programmed and shipped, ensuring you receive a reliable component that meets original factory standards.
How do I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a sticker on the driver’s side door jamb, on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
What if I have a different part number?
This module is interchangeable with many service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, and more as listed in the fitment guide. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this unit will work once programmed to your VIN.
