Expert Insight: Why a Pre-Programmed ECM Matters
From over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that the single biggest hurdle in replacing a modern ECM is the programming. A module from a salvage yard won’t work because it’s coded to the donor vehicle’s VIN and security system. Dealerships charge hundreds for this programming service alone. Our process bypasses that entirely. We flash the computer with the correct, updated GM calibration file for your exact vehicle. This not only ensures it works correctly out of the box but also provides the benefit of any performance and efficiency improvements GM has released since your car was new.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. The 2012 Cadillac SRX ECM 12651994 will arrive ready for installation.
What is a VIN and how do I find it?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code for your car. You can typically find it on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this part require any additional procedures after installation?
In many cases, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a key relearn or anti-theft relearn). This procedure can typically be done yourself in about 15-30 minutes and does not require special tools. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.

Will this fix my check engine light?
