Is Your 2006-2007 Silverado, Sierra, or Savana Running Rough?
If your GM diesel truck or van is experiencing perplexing issues like stalling, no-start conditions, or a persistent Check Engine Light, the root cause might be a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle’s powertrain, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection timing and turbo boost to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leading to wasted time and money on incorrect repairs.
This replacement ECM, part number 12606126, is the definitive solution for restoring the performance and reliability of your LLY Duramax engine. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the replacement process. Before this unit ships, we flash it with the latest GM-certified software and program it specifically to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures seamless integration and communication with all other modules in your truck, making installation as straightforward as possible.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2006 Silverado 2500 HD come into the shop with an intermittent no-start and a random cylinder misfire code that kept jumping between cylinders 3 and 7. The owner had already replaced the FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) and several injectors based on another shop’s advice, with no success. After hooking up our diagnostic tools, we noticed erratic data from the ECM and communication dropouts. A failing ECM can send faulty signals to other components, making them appear to be the problem. We installed a VIN-programmed ECM, performed the security relearn, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case of treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM Diesel ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related trouble codes (U-codes).
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling or shutting off while driving.
- ✔ Poor fuel economy and noticeable loss of power.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idle.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Issues with other electronic systems, as the ECM fails to communicate properly on the CAN bus network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before the part is shipped to you. We use your VIN to load the correct software and calibrations for your specific vehicle’s options and emissions. The only procedure you may need to perform after installation is a security relearn, which pairs the new ECM to your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found in several places: on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield, on the sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents. Please double-check it for accuracy before sending it to us.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
It is as close to plug-and-play as possible. Because we program it to your VIN, it will communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other systems. However, for security reasons, a ‘Security Relearn’ or ‘Key Relearn’ procedure is often required. This can typically be done by cycling the ignition key and waiting for a set period of time, and instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
What happens if I provide the wrong VIN?
Providing the correct VIN is absolutely critical. An incorrect VIN will result in the wrong software being loaded, which can cause starting issues, incorrect transmission shifting, or other compatibility problems. We are not responsible for issues arising from an incorrectly supplied VIN, so please verify it carefully.
Will this ECM fit my gasoline engine truck?
No. This specific ECM is only for 2006-2007 GM trucks and vans equipped with the diesel engine, specifically the LLY (VIN 2, 8th digit). It is not compatible with any gasoline engines.
