Restore Peak Performance to Your Vehicle’s Engine
Is your 2006 Pontiac Pursuit or other GM vehicle suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a no-start condition? These are common indicators of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer responsible for managing your engine’s performance. A faulty ECM can disrupt everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting, leaving you with an unreliable and inefficient vehicle. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 12630457, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s original drivability and reliability.
The Brain of Your Engine, Programmed for Your Car
Think of the ECM as the brain of your engine. It processes data from dozens of sensors in real-time to make critical adjustments for optimal power, efficiency, and emissions. When it fails, the entire system is compromised. Our service makes replacement simple. Unlike a generic module from a parts store or salvage yard, this unit is specifically programmed for your vehicle. After your purchase, you simply provide us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians will then flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and often corrects underlying software issues that may have existed from the factory.

Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your ECM, always perform a thorough check of the vehicle’s battery, charging system, and all main power and ground connections to the module. A corroded ground wire or a weak battery can cause voltage drops that mimic the symptoms of a failed computer. A few minutes with a multimeter can prevent a costly misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of a Failing 2006 Pursuit Engine Module
If you’re unsure whether your ECM is the culprit, look for these common warning signs. A failing module can manifest in various ways, often becoming progressively worse over time.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: The most obvious sign, often with communication-related trouble codes (U-codes) or performance codes that don’t seem to resolve with other repairs.
- ✔ Engine Stalling or Misfiring: The engine may stall unexpectedly, run rough, or misfire as the ECM fails to properly control spark and fuel.
- ✔ Poor Performance & Fuel Economy: You may notice a significant drop in acceleration and an increase in fuel consumption as the engine is no longer operating efficiently.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: In severe cases, the ECM may fail to activate the fuel pump or ignition system, preventing the vehicle from starting at all.
- ✔ Transmission Shifting Issues: The ECM works with the transmission controller, and a fault can lead to harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or being stuck in one gear.
A Simple, Reliable Solution
Replacing your 2006 Pursuit Engine Module doesn’t have to be a complicated ordeal. Because we program the unit to your VIN before shipping, the installation process is streamlined. In most cases, it is a direct physical replacement. After installation, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key cycle relearn), which pairs the new module to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure typically takes 10-30 minutes and does not require special tools. This part is a direct replacement for service numbers 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, 12630457, and 19210737, ensuring broad compatibility across a wide range of GM cars and trucks.
