Is your Cadillac STS or CTS suffering from baffling issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, poor fuel economy, or a no-start condition?

Don’t let a faulty computer compromise the luxury and performance you expect. This fully programmed engine control module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your Cadillac running smoothly and reliably once again.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
In modern vehicles like your Cadillac, the PCM is more than just an engine controller; it’s the central hub of a complex communication network. It needs to speak the correct digital language to the transmission controller, the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock), the instrument cluster, and more. That’s why VIN-specific programming is not just a convenienceโit’s a necessity. Ordering a generic, non-programmed module will almost always result in a no-start condition or a cascade of error codes. Our process of using your VIN to load the exact factory file for your car’s options and security system ensures that this Programmed 12600940 PCM for Cadillac STS CTS integrates seamlessly, just like the original part from the factory.
Take control of your vehicle’s health and restore its performance and reliability. By providing us with your VIN upon purchase, you are choosing the most efficient and effective path to resolving complex electronic issues. This is the smart, professional solution for the discerning Cadillac owner.
