An Expert’s Note on Programming
Many ECM failures are misdiagnosed. But when the module itself is faulty (often indicated by internal processor codes like P0606), a replacement is the only path forward. The critical step is the programming. An improperly programmed module can cause more issues than it solves, from transmission shifting problems to security system lockouts. By programming this Programmed 2008 Cadillac STS ECM 12602044 specifically to your VIN *before* it ships, we handle the most complex part of the job for you, turning a difficult repair into a straightforward component swap.
Don’t let a faulty computer compromise your vehicle’s safety and performance. By providing us with your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the part you receive is a perfectly matched, ready-to-install solution. Restore your Cadillac’s power and reliability today.
Frequently Asked Questions

What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive it.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?

Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. However, it’s essential that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or wiring issues.
