Is Your Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can be the source of countless frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, or communication errors with other modules, your vehicle’s central computer may be the culprit. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that affects performance, fuel economy, and reliability. Don’t let a bad ECM keep you off the road. We provide a direct, reliable solution to get your vehicle back to factory-spec operation.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Engine stalling or misfiring for no apparent reason
- Inconsistent or no-start conditions
- Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related trouble codes (U-codes)
- Transmission shifting problems or harsh engagement
- Apparent failure of multiple sensors at once
This programmed 12633055 ECM is the definitive solution to these problems. Each unit is meticulously flashed with the latest official GM software, tailored specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures perfect compatibility and restores the precise operational parameters your engine needs to run smoothly and efficiently, just as it did from the factory.
A Word From The Experts
“Before replacing an ECM, always perform a full battery and charging system test and verify your main engine grounds are clean and tight. A weak battery or poor ground can mimic ECM failure by causing low voltage and communication errors. Verifying these simple things first can save you time and money and ensures your new computer has a stable electrical environment to operate in.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to download the correct, updated software from GM and flash it directly onto the ECM before shipping it to you.
Do I need to do anything else after installation?
In most cases, this is a plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions for common procedures are widely available online for your specific model.
Is this compatible with my exact vehicle?
This programmed 12633055 ECM fits a very wide range of GM models. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific year, make, model, and engine option. Matching the part number is the most reliable way to ensure a perfect fit.
What if I order the wrong part?
We strongly encourage you to verify the part number on your original ECM before ordering. If you are unsure, please contact us with your VIN, and we will be happy to help you confirm the correct module for your vehicle.
Why is my VIN so important?
The VIN is like your vehicle’s DNA. It tells the ECM everything from the engine and transmission type to the specific emissions equipment and electronic options installed. Programming with the VIN ensures all these components work together seamlessly as the manufacturer intended.
