Restore Your LaCrosse’s Drivability and Performance
Is your 2008-2009 Buick LaCrosse suffering from a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or unpredictable stalling? These frustrating issues often point directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the critical computer that manages your engine’s performance. Instead of risking a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership, get the precise, reliable solution with this professionally programmed ECM, designed to get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Direct Solution
A faulty ECM can cause a wide range of problems that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your definitive fix:

- Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- Erratic transmission shifting or performance issues

An Expert’s Note on ECM Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers waste time and money on generic, unprogrammed modules. The ECM is the ‘brain’ of your vehicle; it’s not a one-size-fits-all part. Installing an unprogrammed unit is like giving your car amnesia—it doesn’t know how to manage the engine, transmission, or emissions systems correctly. Our VIN-matching service ensures this brain is perfectly in sync with your car’s ‘body,’ preventing further complications and getting the job done right the first time. This Programmed 12630457 ECM is the smart, professional-grade repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit VIN. You can also add it to the ‘notes’ section during checkout. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
Will I need to do any additional programming after installation?
In most cases, no further programming is needed. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific security system, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key relearn), which typically takes 10-15 minutes and does not require special tools. Instructions are readily available online for your specific model.
Is this the correct ECM for my car if it’s not a Buick LaCrosse?
This ECM fits a very wide range of GM vehicles. Please check the part number on your original module. If it matches 12630457 or any of the interchangeable service numbers listed (12590032, 12602044, etc.), this part will be compatible. Providing your VIN is the best way to guarantee a perfect match.
What does ‘flashed’ or ‘programmed’ actually mean?
It means we use specialized equipment to load your vehicle’s unique factory software and calibration files onto the module. This process uses your VIN to ensure the ECM works perfectly with your car’s specific engine, transmission, and options.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your repair.
