Restore Peak Performance to Your Vehicle’s Engine
The Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine’s brain, is the central command for your vehicle’s most critical functions. It meticulously manages fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and transmission shifting to ensure optimal power, efficiency, and reliability. When the ECM begins to fail, it can trigger a cascade of frustrating and often misdiagnosed problems, from poor fuel economy to a complete no-start condition. This genuine GM Engine Control Module, part number 19210738, is the definitive solution for a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2006-2007 Corvette.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2007 Corvette in the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at stoplights and a persistent, yet random, Check Engine Light. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the mass airflow sensor with no success. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed erratic data from several key engine sensors. Instead of a faulty sensor, the root cause was the ECM itself, which was failing to process the inputs correctly. Replacing the module with a properly programmed unit like this one solved the problem instantly. It’s a reminder that the central computer is often the overlooked source of many baffling engine issues.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of ECM Failure?
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your engine computer may be the culprit:
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated, often with communication-related trouble codes (U-codes).
- ✔ Engine misfires, stumbles, or runs rough.
- ✔ Unexplained decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ The vehicle cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifts erratically or harshly.
- ✔ Loss of communication with your diagnostic scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VIN programming?
VIN programming is the process of loading your vehicle’s specific software onto the Engine Control Module. This ensures the ECM works correctly with your car’s engine, transmission, and options. We handle this for you before shipping the part.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No, the main programming is completed by us. After you install the module, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a key relearn. This can typically be done without any special tools and instructions are readily available online for your specific model.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes, because we program it to your VIN, it is a plug-and-play installation. Once you complete the security relearn procedure, your vehicle will be ready to drive.
Where do I find my VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
