Restore Peak Performance to Your Cadillac Escalade ESV
Is your 2015 or 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV suffering from mysterious engine issues, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine Light? The Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the vehicle’s main computer, is the central command for all critical engine functions. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of problems that are frustrating and difficult to diagnose. This genuine GM Engine Control Module, part number 12663391, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s original performance, reliability, and efficiency.
This isn’t just a generic part off the shelf. We provide a crucial service by programming this module specifically for your vehicle using your unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures that all factory parameters, security information (immobilizer), and performance characteristics are perfectly matched to your Escalade’s exact configuration. The module arrives at your door ready for installation, loaded with the latest software updates from General Motors, which can often resolve issues that were present even in the original factory programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
A faulty ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your engine computer may be the culprit:
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated, often with communication-related (U-codes) or processor fault codes.
- ✔ The engine cranks but refuses to start, or starts intermittently.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Rough idling, stalling, or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Misfiring or poor engine performance that can’t be traced to spark plugs or coils.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifting erratically or harshly.
- ✔ Unexplained loss of power.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Escalade come into the shop with a no-start condition that had stumped two other mechanics. They had replaced the fuel pump and the crankshaft position sensor, but the truck would only crank. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed we couldn’t communicate with the engine module at all. It was completely offline. We checked all power and ground circuits to the ECM and found they were perfect. The issue was internal to the module itself. Instead of a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealer, the owner ordered one of our VIN-programmed modules. Once it arrived, the installation took less than 30 minutes. The moment we turned the key, the engine fired up perfectly. It’s a powerful reminder that the ECM is the brain, and when the brain isn’t working, nothing else will either.

The Programming Process Explained
After you complete your purchase, the process is simple. You will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this information to access the official GM service database and download the correct software calibration file for your specific vehicle. This file is then flashed onto the module, ensuring it communicates flawlessly with all other systems in your vehicle, from the transmission control module to the anti-lock brake system. This critical step ensures a seamless installation and immediate restoration of function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. In most cases, it is a plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which is a simple process that can be done without any special tools. We can provide instructions for this if needed.

This is a high-quality, tested, and verified used OEM part. Each module is inspected to ensure it meets strict performance standards before being programmed with the latest GM software for your vehicle.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While the symptoms listed are common indicators of ECM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the root cause before purchasing.
