Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Frustrating Electrical Gremlins?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can turn your reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, unexplained stalling, or a car that simply won’t start, the brain of your engine might be the culprit. Instead of facing a massive bill and long wait times at the dealership, take control of your repair with a reliable, cost-effective solution that gets you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. Look out for these common indicators:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related trouble codes (e.g., U0100).
- Erratic engine performance, such as rough idling, hesitation, or misfires.
- Vehicle entering ‘limp mode’ with reduced power.
- Transmission shifting issues or failure to shift properly.
- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over.
This genuine used GM 12669908 ECM is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork out of the equation by professionally programming the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ever leaves our facility. This ensures it has the correct, most up-to-date calibrations directly from GM for a seamless integration.

An Expert’s Note on Installation: One of the biggest hurdles in replacing a modern ECM is the required programming. A blank module is just a metal box. By programming this unit to your VIN beforehand, we handle the most complex step for you. While some vehicles may require a simple ‘theft relearn’ procedure upon installation (a security handshake between the ECM and your car), this is a far simpler task than a full programming session. This service is designed to empower knowledgeable DIYers and independent shops to complete a complex job efficiently.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep you sidelined. This pre-programmed GM 12669908 ECM is your direct path to a reliable repair, putting you back in the driver’s seat.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the module without it. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure correct programming.
What is a ‘theft relearn’ and will I need to do one?
The vehicle’s anti-theft system links the ECM to other modules. If your vehicle doesn’t start after installation, this security link needs to be re-established. This is called a theft deterrent relearn. On many GM vehicles, it can be done without special tools, but some models may require a professional scan tool or the GM programming system (tis2web). This procedure is the responsibility of the installer.
Is this part ‘plug-and-play’?
Because it is programmed to your VIN, it is as close as you can get. However, due to the integrated nature of modern vehicle electronics, you should anticipate the possibility of needing to perform a theft relearn, crankshaft position sensor relearn, or other minor setup procedures after installation to ensure all systems communicate perfectly.
How do I know if the ECM is truly my problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, it’s always best to have a professional diagnosis performed. The ECM should be suspected after other potential causes (like sensors, wiring, or fuel delivery) have been ruled out. Checking for communication-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) is a key step.
How can I confirm this fits my exact vehicle?
Please match the service number (serv.no) 12669908 on your original ECM to this listing. You can also use the compatibility chart provided and verify your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine option. Providing your VIN for programming is the final confirmation of a perfect match.
