An Expert’s Note on Your Solstice’s Brain
Think of the ECM as the central nervous system of your Pontiac. It makes thousands of calculations per second, managing everything from fuel injection and spark timing to transmission shifts. When it fails, the signals get crossed, and the car’s performance suffers. Unlike other parts, a “close enough” module won’t work. Our VIN-matching process isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step to ensure every component communicates correctly, restoring the precise, responsive feel you love about your car.
This computer is a direct replacement for the following GM service numbers: 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, 12630457, 19210737.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After completing your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship the module without it.
Will I need to do anything after installing it?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, often called a “key relearn.” This process syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and can typically be done in your driveway without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s problems?
This ECM will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty module. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to other bad sensors, wiring issues, or mechanical failures.
How can I be sure my original ECM is faulty?
Common indicators include specific diagnostic trouble codes (like P0601 – Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), a visual inspection showing burnt components or water damage, or having a professional mechanic rule out all other potential causes for your symptoms.
What does “flashed with the newest updates” mean?
Automakers like GM often release software updates for their vehicles to improve performance, fix bugs, or enhance efficiency long after the car has left the factory. We ensure your replacement module is programmed with the most recent and stable software version available for your specific VIN.
