Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Mysterious Electrical Gremlins?
Experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or even a no-start condition? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the root cause, acting as a faulty brain for your vehicle’s most critical functions. This leaves you with an unreliable vehicle and a constant sense of uncertainty. This professionally programmed ECM is the definitive, reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and your driving confidence.

- Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting
- Communication error codes (U-codes)
- Complete failure to start the engine

Expert Technician Insight
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless hours wasted on unprogrammed modules. An ECM is the ‘brain’ of your engine. Simply swapping a used one from another vehicle will not work and can even cause more problems. Our VIN-programming service is the critical step that transforms this part from a metal box into the precise command center your GM vehicle requires. We handle the complex flashing process so you can focus on a straightforward installation and get back on the road faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your ECM without it. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy before sending.
Will I need to do any additional programming after installation?
While the main engine programming is complete, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called Passlock or Passkey) and a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE). These are simple procedures that can often be done without special tools. Instructions can be readily found online for your specific model.
How do I know for sure that my ECM is the problem?
While this part fixes ECM-related failures, it’s crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed. Common signs of a bad ECM include persistent communication codes, multiple unrelated trouble codes, and stalling when the engine warms up. We recommend consulting a professional mechanic or using a high-quality scan tool to confirm the ECM is at fault before ordering.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a quality-inspected, genuine GM component that has been tested to ensure full functionality. It is then loaded with your vehicle’s specific software, making it a reliable and cost-effective alternative to a new dealership part.
What OEM part numbers does this unit replace?
This ECM is a direct replacement for General Motors part numbers 12633055 and 12633238. Please verify one of these numbers on your original module to ensure compatibility.
Is the process difficult?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. Our VIN programming of the programmed 12633055 ECM handles the most difficult part of the job for you.
