Restore Peak Performance to Your 2008 GMC Yukon
Is your 2008 GMC Yukon suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit behind issues that seem impossible to diagnose. As the central computer for your vehicle’s engine, the ECM manages everything from fuel mixture and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems that leave you stranded. This direct-fit replacement ECM, part number 12617568, is the definitive solution to get your truck running reliably again.
Unlike solutions that require expensive trips to the dealership for programming, this module arrives at your door ready for installation. We take your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at the time of purchase and flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect communication between the module and all your vehicle’s systems, restoring the smooth operation and efficiency you expect from your Yukon.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sierra with the 6.0L come in that was driving the owner crazy. The truck would randomly stall at red lights and had a persistent P0606 (Internal Control Module Processor Error) code that would return immediately after being cleared. The owner had already replaced the throttle body and two O2 sensors with no luck. We suspected the ECM. After installing one of our pre-programmed units, the stalling vanished, the code never returned, and the truck ran smoother than it had in years. It’s a classic case where chasing symptoms costs more than solving the root problem – the failing computer.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of a Failing ECM?
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a faulty ECM could be to blame:
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with various, often inconsistent, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Stalling, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Intermittent issues that seem to have no logical cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module for you using the VIN you provide during checkout. It will arrive ready to be installed in your vehicle.
What information do you need from me?
We only need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to load the exact GM-specified software for your truck’s engine, transmission, and options.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN is typically located on a tag on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Is any other procedure required after installation?
In many cases, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn. This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model, or your mechanic can perform it in minutes.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated symptoms are caused by a faulty ECM, then this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s problems are not caused by other failing sensors or wiring issues. This 2008 Yukon Engine Module corrects problems originating from the computer itself.
