Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship your ECM until we receive this information.
What is a ‘theft relearn’ and will I need to do it?
The theft deterrent relearn is a security procedure that syncs the new ECM to your vehicle’s ignition keys and security system. In many cases, this procedure is required for the vehicle to start after installation. This must be done on-site using a GM-specific diagnostic tool (like Tis2web/Techline Connect) and is the responsibility of the installer.
Is this a difficult part to install?
Physically replacing the ECM is straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill. It’s typically located in the engine compartment. However, the critical final step is performing any necessary security or system relearns, which may require a professional technician with the appropriate scan tools.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This programmed 2017 Yukon XL 1500 ECM is designed to resolve all issues directly caused by a failing engine computer. While it fixes the vast majority of electronic engine problems, we always recommend having a qualified technician properly diagnose your vehicle to confirm the ECM is the root cause before ordering.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Yes, this unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This provides coverage against defects in the part itself, giving you confidence in your purchase.
