Restore Your Tahoe’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2015 or 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe running rough, stalling, or showing a persistent check engine light?

We provide the definitive solution: a direct-replacement ECM, professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ever leaves our facility.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing issues like poor fuel economy, hesitation, shifting problems, or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P0606 (Control Module Processor Error) or U0100 (Lost Communication With ECM), a faulty computer is the likely culprit.

Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Vehicle
Your Tahoe’s ECM is more than just a component; it’s the central command center. It manages dozens of inputs from sensors to make thousands of calculations per second, controlling everything from the air-fuel mixture to transmission shift points. When it fails, the vehicle’s systems can no longer communicate effectively, leading to a cascade of problems. Our solution provides a fully functional, updated brain for your vehicle. We ensure this programmed 2015-2016 Tahoe engine control module has the correct software to seamlessly integrate with your vehicle’s existing systems, just like the original part did from the factory.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your insurance/registration documents.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
Our ECM comes fully programmed to your VIN for engine and transmission operation. However, due to GM’s anti-theft systems, you will need to perform a security ‘relearn’ procedure after installation. This procedure can be done by you without any special tools and typically takes about 30 minutes. We can provide instructions for this simple process.
Do I need to send my old ECM back?
No. There is no core charge or need to return your original module. You can keep it or dispose of it as you see fit.
How can I be sure the ECM is my problem?
While this part resolves the most common symptoms of ECM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic. Common indicators include specific communication-related trouble codes, multiple unrelated error codes appearing at once, and a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
Will this work for other GM vehicles like a Silverado or Yukon?
Yes. This ECM, part number 12673195, is compatible with a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs from the same era, as listed in the fitment details. When you provide your VIN, we ensure the programming is correct for your specific make, model, and options, whether it’s a Tahoe or another compatible vehicle.
By choosing our programmed 2015-2016 Tahoe engine control module, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle running right again.
