Restore Peak Performance to Your GMC Acadia
Is your 2007 or 2008 GMC Acadia suffering from perplexing engine issues? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your vehicle, is often the culprit behind poor performance, decreased fuel economy, and frustrating drivability problems. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 19210737, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running smoothly and reliably again. As the brain of your engine management system, the ECM controls critical functions like fuel mixture, ignition timing, and transmission shifting. When it fails, the symptoms can be widespread and difficult to diagnose. This unit restores that crucial control, bringing your engine back to factory specifications.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Acadia come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at stoplights and a persistent check engine light with a handful of random communication codes (U-codes). The owner had already replaced the throttle body and a few sensors with no luck. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed the data stream from the ECM would occasionally drop out completely. This pointed to an internal failure in the module. We installed one of our VIN-programmed ECMs, performed the security relearn, and the vehicle ran perfectly. The communication codes vanished, and the stalling issue was completely resolved. It’s a classic case where chasing individual symptoms can be misleading, while addressing the core problem—the failing computer—provides a complete fix.
Is Your Acadia Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated with various trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel mileage (MPG).
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a no-start condition.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Misfire codes even after replacing spark plugs and coils.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Engine Control Module do?
The ECM, or Engine Control Module, is your vehicle’s main computer. It takes data from sensors all over the engine and drivetrain to manage fuel injection, spark timing, transmission operation, and emissions systems to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability.
Do I need to program this module after I receive it?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before it ships. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation, loaded with the correct GM software for your vehicle.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, your insurance card, or on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield. It may also be on a sticker in the driver’s side door jamb.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure that the codes stored are not pointing to other failing components like sensors or wiring. A proper diagnosis is always recommended.
Is any other procedure required after installation?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a Passlock or anti-theft relearn). This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are readily available online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
Is this part compatible with other GM vehicles?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles beyond the Acadia. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it matches your specific make, model, year, and engine.
