Is Your 2007 Cadillac SRX Running Rough? The ECM Might Be the Culprit.
Experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor engine performance, or random stalling in your 2007 Cadillac SRX? These are common indicators of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer that manages your vehicle’s engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions. A faulty ECM can turn your luxury driving experience into a constant headache. This direct replacement ECM, part number 12605670, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2007 Cadillac SRX ECM?
Don’t settle for a generic, unprogrammed module that will require expensive trips to the dealership. We provide a comprehensive, plug-and-play solution. When you purchase this module, we will flash it with the very latest official GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. All we need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout. This ensures that the ECM communicates perfectly with your SRX’s other modules, just as it did when it left the factory. This process eliminates compatibility issues and gets you back on the road faster.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2007 SRX 3.6L in the shop with a list of bizarre, intermittent symptoms. The owner complained of random misfires, occasional hard starting, and a transmission that sometimes seemed to shift erratically. Scans showed a handful of inconsistent communication codes but nothing concrete. After hours of chasing wires and testing sensors, we focused on the main computer. We swapped in a known-good, correctly programmed 2007 Cadillac SRX ECM, and it was like a different vehicle. Every single issue vanished. It’s a powerful reminder that the ECM is the true brain of the operation, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems that a simple part swap can resolve.

Do I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In many cases, this is a plug-and-play installation.
