Restore Peak Performance to Your Cadillac DTS
Is your 2006 Cadillac DTS suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, stalling, or poor fuel economy? These are classic symptoms of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer that manages your vehicle’s engine performance, fuel delivery, and emissions. A faulty ECM can disrupt the harmony of your vehicle’s systems, leading to unreliable performance and potentially costly diagnostic guesswork. This replacement Engine Control Module is the definitive solution, engineered to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2006 DTS towed in that had been to two other shops. It had intermittent no-start conditions and a flurry of random communication codes. The owner had already spent a small fortune on new sensors and a battery. After verifying power and ground to the module, we found the ECM itself was failing intermittently. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new unit and programming, we installed one of these VIN-programmed modules. The car fired right up, all codes cleared, and it ran smoother than it had in years. This part saved the customer time, money, and a massive headache.
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These Symptoms?
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your engine computer may be the culprit:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL)
- ✔ Engine stalling, stuttering, or misfiring
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ The vehicle cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Loss of power and sluggish acceleration
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
The Solution: A True Plug-and-Play 2006 DTS Engine Control Module
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your luxury vehicle off the road. Our replacement 2006 DTS Engine Control Module arrives at your door ready for installation. The biggest hurdle with ECM replacement is the need for expensive, specialized programming at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. When you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians then flash the module with the latest, most up-to-date OEM software directly from GM for your specific vehicle. This ensures that all parameters, from fuel trim to transmission shift points, are perfectly calibrated for your DTS, right out of the box. This is not a generic, one-size-fits-all solution; it’s a precisely prepared component for your car.
This module is a direct replacement for multiple service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, 12630457, and 19210737, and fits a wide array of other GM vehicles as detailed in the fitment list. By consolidating these part numbers, we ensure you receive a compatible and fully functional unit that meets or exceeds original specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the Engine Control Module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This makes the installation process straightforward, saving you a trip to the dealership and their associated programming fees.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically reply to your order confirmation email or follow the instructions provided after checkout. We cannot ship your part until we have this information.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN is located in several places: on a metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield, on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
This part will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While the symptoms listed are common for ECM failure, they can also be caused by other issues. We highly recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Is any additional setup required after installation?
In some cases, a ‘security relearn’ or ‘CASE relearn’ procedure may be necessary after installation. These are simple procedures that can often be done without special tools and instructions can be found online or in a service manual. This ensures the ECM communicates properly with your vehicle’s anti-theft and crankshaft position sensor systems.
