Is Your GM Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can be the source of countless frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues. From a persistent Check Engine Light to poor fuel economy or a complete no-start condition, a faulty engine computer can bring your work truck, family SUV, or daily driver to a grinding halt. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and safety. You need a solution that is both reliable and straightforward, getting you back on the road with confidence.

Expert Technician’s Insight: Many people don’t realize that on modern GM vehicles, the ECM is a critical part of the anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS). Simply swapping a computer from another vehicle won’t work—the vehicle won’t start. That’s why our VIN programming service is so essential. We don’t just load generic software; we configure the module to recognize your specific keys and security system, making the installation process as seamless as possible for you or your mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This ECM arrives fully programmed to the VIN you provide. In most cases, it is a direct plug-and-play installation. Some vehicles may require a simple, key-on/key-off security relearn procedure, which takes about 30 minutes and does not require any special tools.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will contact you to request your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we have this information to perform the programming.
What if my original part number is 12629009?
This ECM, part number 12625455, is a direct replacement and supersedes part number 12629009. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this unit will function correctly.
What does ‘flashed with the newest updates’ actually mean for my vehicle?
General Motors frequently releases software updates for their vehicles to fix drivability issues, improve transmission shifting logic, enhance fuel efficiency, and address other minor bugs discovered after the vehicle was sold. We ensure your ECM has this latest software, giving you a better-performing vehicle than when it left the factory.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
You can find your 17-digit VIN on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
