An Expert’s Note on Installation
“I’ve seen countless owners of these fantastic LNF-powered cars chase their tails replacing sensors and wiring, only to find the ECM was the issue all along. The key to a successful repair is the programming. An improperly programmed module can cause more problems than it solves, from security lockouts to transmission shifting issues. By programming this Programmed 12623326 ECM to your VIN *before* it ships, we eliminate those headaches. When it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the module, reconnect, and perform the necessary idle/case relearn procedures. It’s the most reliable way to get the job done right the first time.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to load the correct, most up-to-date GM-certified software and calibrations onto the ECM. This ensures it is perfectly matched to your car’s specific options and systems before we ship it.
Do I need to do anything after I install it?
Yes. While the core programming is done, you will likely need to perform a Case Relearn (Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning) procedure with a capable scan tool. This is a standard final step for any GM ECM replacement and is critical for engine smoothness and misfire detection. Some vehicles may also require a security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools.
What if my part number is 12614967?
This ECM, part number 12623326, is the correct and updated service replacement for 12614967. It is fully interchangeable and will function perfectly in your vehicle once programmed to your VIN.
Where is the ECM located on my car?
The location varies slightly by model. On the Saturn SKY and Pontiac Solstice, it’s on the left-hand (driver’s side) front frame rail. On the Chevrolet HHR, it’s in the left-hand rear of the engine compartment. On the Chevrolet Cobalt, it’s in the left-hand front of the engine compartment.
