An Expert’s Note on Getting the Job Done
“We had a fleet manager call us in a panic. One of his 2016 Savana work vans was down with a ‘no communication’ error from the original ECM. The dealership quoted him a week-long wait time plus programming fees. That’s a week of lost revenue. We sent him this exact programmed 2016 Savana 2500 ECM overnight. His mechanic installed it in under an hour, the van started immediately, and his crew was back on the job the next morning. For professionals, minimizing downtime isn’t a luxuryโit’s essential. That’s the solution we provide.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This ECM arrives fully programmed to the VIN you provide. In most cases, it is a simple plug-and-play installation. Some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools and takes only a few minutes. We include instructions for this.
Where is the ECM located on my 2016 Savana 2500?
On the 2016 GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans, the ECM is typically located in the engine compartment, on the left-hand (driver’s) side, towards the rear of the compartment near the firewall.
What is a VIN and where do I find it?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code for your van. You can easily find it on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM (common codes like P0601, P0606), then this part is the correct solution. It’s important to ensure that any other vehicle issues (e.g., bad sensors, wiring problems) have been addressed first.
How long does the programming process take?
Once we receive your VIN, programming is typically completed within one business day, after which your order will be shipped. Our goal is to get your part to you as quickly as possible.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Savana van?
Yes. This is a versatile GM engine computer. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with other models like the Silverado, Sierra, Cruze, Sonic, and more. The key is matching one of the listed part numbers.
