Is a Faulty Engine Computer Sidelining Your Vehicle?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a car that won’t run right. If you’re dealing with a persistent Check Engine Light, rough idling, stalling, or a no-start condition, the problem often points directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This component is the brain of your engine, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of performance issues. Instead of facing a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership, you have a reliable, straightforward solution right here. This unit is the key to restoring your vehicle’s original performance and getting you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in many ways. You might be seeing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, P0606, or others related to internal processor failure. Perhaps your engine hesitates during acceleration, your fuel economy has plummeted, or the transmission is shifting erratically. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical issue that needs a definitive fix. Our Programmed 12607096 Engine Control Module is the solution. We take the guesswork and complexity out of the repair by pre-programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ever leaves our facility. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your car’s systems right out of the box.

An Expert’s Note on Programming: As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers waste time and money on used ECMs from a salvage yard. Those units are not programmed for their specific vehicle and almost always lead to no-start conditions or compatibility errors. Our process of programming this Programmed 12607096 Engine Control Module to your VIN isn’t just a convenience—it’s the correct way to perform the repair, ensuring the module works seamlessly with your engine, transmission, and security systems from the moment of installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the ECM do?
The Engine Control Module, or ECM, is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls critical engine functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions systems by reading data from sensors all over the vehicle. A healthy ECM is vital for performance, fuel economy, and reliability.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
Because we program the ECM to your specific VIN, it is ready to be installed and communicate with your vehicle’s main systems. However, on many GM vehicles, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock or anti-theft relearn) after installation. This procedure can typically be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is a required step.
My original part number isn’t 12607096, will this still work?
Yes, most likely. This ECM is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM service numbers, as listed in the description. GM frequently consolidates part numbers. As long as your vehicle and original service number are on our compatibility list, this unit will function correctly.
What if this doesn’t fix my problem?
While this ECM is the solution for many common issues, proper vehicle diagnostics are key. We recommend confirming the ECM is the point of failure before ordering. This part is backed by a one-year replacement warranty covering part failure.
