Is Your Yukon XL Running Rough? Get Back in Command.
When the brain of your truck’s engine—the Engine Control Module (ECM)—starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. From a sudden check engine light to a vehicle that won’t start at all, a faulty ECM can sideline your reliable workhorse.

Expert Insight: The Power of Proper Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicle issues caused by improperly matched control modules. Many sellers offer blank or used modules, forcing you to find a shop with expensive tools to program them. Worse, they often lack the latest software patches from GM that resolve known drivability issues. Our process is different. We flash each GMC Yukon XL 2500 ECM 12625455 on a bench before it ships, using your VIN to load the exact software your vehicle left the factory with, plus any critical updates released since. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ensuring the job is done right the first time, preventing future headaches and restoring your truck’s performance to its peak.
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 will then program the module before shipping it to you. This ensures it is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific configuration.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we pre-program the ECM to your VIN, it is ready for installation upon arrival. In most cases, you will not need to perform any additional programming. Some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and instructions can be provided.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This module is the definitive fix for codes related to the ECM’s internal processor (such as P0601-P0606) and other software or hardware failures within the computer itself. If your check engine light is caused by a faulty sensor or a different component, you will still need to address that separate issue.
What tools are needed to install this ECM?
Installation is typically straightforward and requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and ratchet. The ECM is usually located in the engine compartment. Always remember to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the installation process.
My original part number is 12629009. Will this work?
Absolutely. This GMC Yukon XL 2500 ECM 12625455 is fully compatible and serves as a direct replacement for part number 12629009. We will program it to ensure it functions perfectly for your vehicle’s application.
