Is Your Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can be the source of immense frustration, leaving you stranded with a vehicle that’s unreliable at best. If you’re experiencing a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic engine behavior, or a complete no-start condition, the brain of your engine might be the culprit. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s performance and safety. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for diagnostics and programming, take control of the repair with a solution that arrives ready to install right out of the box.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault), or other communication-related errors. You might notice issues like harsh shifting, engine misfires, or stalling for no apparent reason. Our pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive solution. We take a genuine OEM unit, flash it with the latest official GM software specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN, and ship it directly to you. This process ensures perfect communication between the module and all other systems in your vehicle, restoring it to factory specifications. This is the most efficient way to get your car running right again with a reliable, properly configured programmed 12637106 ECM.

Expert Insight: The Dealership Runaround, Avoided.
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless customers get stuck in a cycle of expensive diagnostics. A shop might replace sensors and other parts, only to find the root cause was the ECM all along. Then comes the expensive part: the dealership charges a premium for the module itself, plus 1-2 hours of labor just for programming. Our solution bypasses all of that. By sending you a programmed 12637106 ECM, we save you time, towing fees, and hundreds of dollars in programming charges. It turns a complex electronic repair into a straightforward component swap you can often do in your own driveway.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians use this VIN to access the official GM database and load the exact, most current software calibration file for your specific make, model, and options. This ensures the ECM works seamlessly with your engine, transmission, and security system.
Will I need to do anything else after installation?
In most cases, this is a plug-and-play installation. Once installed, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model, or you can consult a repair manual. This ensures the new ECM communicates correctly with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
How do I know if this is the right part for my car?
Please check the extensive fitment list provided on this page. The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the part number from your original ECM to one of the numbers listed (12637106, 12616889, 12630908, etc.). If you are unsure, please contact us with your VIN before ordering and we will be happy to verify the fitment for you.
Why is providing my VIN so important?
The VIN is like your vehicle’s DNA. It tells us everything about its original build, including the engine type, transmission, emissions equipment, and other electronic options. Programming the ECM with the correct software for your VIN is absolutely critical for proper engine function, fuel economy, and to prevent system conflicts.
What is covered by the warranty?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers the ECM itself against any functional defects for a full year from the date of purchase. We stand behind the quality of our parts and programming service.
