Get Your GM Truck, SUV, or Car Running Right Again
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t start, runs poorly, or constantly throws confusing check engine lights. A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit behind these issues, causing unpredictable stalling, poor fuel economy, and communication errors that can leave even experienced technicians scratching their heads. This is your definitive, hassle-free solution. This is a genuine GM engine computer, professionally programmed with the latest factory software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. It arrives ready to install, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless issues caused by improperly matched control modules. In modern GM vehicles, the ECM is the central hub of a complex network. It communicates with the transmission, anti-lock brakes, body control module, and anti-theft system. Simply swapping in a used ECM from another vehicle will, at best, result in a no-start due to the anti-theft system. At worst, it can cause incorrect engine and transmission parameters, leading to poor performance or even damage. Our VIN-specific programming ensures every parameter—from injector flow rate to transmission shift points—is perfectly matched to your exact vehicle, ensuring a seamless and correct repair every time.
Stop the guesswork and replace your faulty computer with confidence. This Programmed 12633055 ECM is the reliable, straightforward fix to get your vehicle performing like new again. After your purchase, simply send us a message with your vehicle’s VIN, and we’ll handle the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to the VIN you provide. In some cases, you may need to perform a simple key relearn or security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and instructions can be readily found online for your specific model.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
What if my original part number is 12633238?
This ECM, part number 12633055, is a fully compatible and interchangeable replacement for part number 12633238. It will function identically in your vehicle once programmed to your VIN.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the part number from your original ECM. This unit fits a very wide range of GM trucks, vans, and performance cars as detailed in the fitment list. Providing your VIN for programming is the final step that guarantees it will work for your specific application.
Is this better than buying a used ECM from a salvage yard?
Absolutely. A used ECM from a salvage yard will not be programmed for your vehicle and will trigger the anti-theft system, preventing your car from starting. Our units are professionally flashed with the latest GM software, checked for function, and backed by a warranty, providing a level of reliability a used part cannot match.
