Our professional programming service ensures that the new module communicates perfectly with the anti-theft system, transmission controller, and all other electronics. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s essential for a correct and lasting repair that keeps your vehicle reliable day in and day out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after installation?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. In most cases, it is a plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without special tools and typically takes about 30 minutes. Instructions can be easily found online for your specific model.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This ECM, part number 12633055, fits a very wide range of GM vehicles. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page carefully. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to check the part number on your original ECM. If it matches 12633055 or 12633238, this is the correct part for you.
What are the most common signs of a bad ECM?
The most common signs include a check engine light that won’t go away, unexplained performance issues like stalling or poor acceleration, a decrease in fuel economy, and communication-related error codes. In severe cases, the vehicle may not start at all.
What happens if I install an ECM that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed ECM will not work. The vehicle’s anti-theft system will prevent the engine from starting, and it will not be able to communicate correctly with other modules in the vehicle, leading to numerous error codes and a non-functional vehicle.
