Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is Critical
A common mistake is purchasing a used ECM from a salvage yard, believing it’s a simple swap. However, modern ECMs are locked to the original vehicle’s VIN and security system. Installing an un-programmed or incorrectly programmed module will result in a no-start condition and can even create new communication faults. Our professional VIN-programming service ensures this 2016 Chevy Cruze ECM 12672502 is a precise electronic match for your car, guaranteeing that the engine, transmission, and anti-theft systems all communicate flawlessly, just as the factory intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the ECM correctly for your specific vehicle.
Will this part fit my vehicle?
This module is a direct fit for the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze (VIN B, New Style), 2016 Chevrolet Malibu (VIN Z, New Style), and the 2016 Cadillac CT6 with the 2.0L engine. Please verify your vehicle’s details against our fitment list.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
