Is Your 2006 Impala Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?

If you’re dealing with frustrating and unpredictable issues in your 2006 Chevrolet Impala, the root cause is often the one component that controls everything: the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen how a failing ECM can mimic a dozen other problems, leading to wasted time and money on parts you don’t need. Before you start replacing sensors and spark plugs, let’s talk about the vehicle’s brain.

Common Symptoms of a Failing 2006 Impala ECM

A faulty ECM doesn’t always fail completely. More often, it begins to fail intermittently, causing problems that come and go with temperature changes or vibration. If you’re noticing any of these, your ECM should be the primary suspect:

  • โœ” Check Engine Light is on with communication error codes (like U-codes) or false sensor codes.
  • โœ” Engine stalls for no reason, either while driving or at idle.
  • โœ” Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
  • โœ” The vehicle cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and fuel pressure.
  • โœ” Noticeable decrease in fuel economy and overall engine performance.
  • โœ” Anti-theft or security light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.

A Technician’s Real-World Story

“A customer’s 2006 Impala came in last week with these exact symptoms. It would stall randomly at red lights, but only after it had been driven for 20 minutes. We couldn’t get it to fail in the shop. After checking the fuel system and ignition, we focused on the ECM. On these Impalas, the ECM is located in the lower part of the air cleaner box. Over the years, heat cycles and moisture build-up from that location cause internal solder joints on the circuit board to crack. We swapped in a pre-programmed ECM, and the problem was solved instantly. It’s a pattern I’ve diagnosed on hundreds of these GM vehicles.”

The Direct Solution: A VIN-Programmed ECM

Don’t settle for a junkyard module that will cause more headaches. This Engine Control Module is the reliable, long-term fix for your vehicle. We take all the guesswork and hassle out of the process. When you order from us, you’re not just getting a part; you’re getting a fully prepared solution.

Hereโ€™s How Our Process Works:

Your vehicle is unique. The ECM’s software needs to match your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to control the engine, transmission, and security system correctly. A mismatched module simply won’t work.

  • โœ” Provide Your VIN: After your purchase, simply send us your 17-digit VIN.
  • โœ” We Program It: Our experts use GM-certified equipment to flash the module with the latest, most stable software update for your exact 2006 Impala.
  • โœ” Ready for Installation: The ECM arrives at your door ready to be installed. No extra trips to the dealership for expensive programming are required.

Installation and Fitment Verification

Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. The ECM is typically found under the air filter housing. Disconnecting the battery before starting is critical. Once installed, the vehicle may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools (instructions are widely available or feel free to ask us).

This module, part number 12630457, is the correct hardware for a wide range of GM vehicles. It directly replaces the following service numbers:
