A Technician’s Tip: Many people are tempted to grab a used ECM from a salvage yard, hoping for a cheap fix. However, the ECM is the ‘brain’ of your truck. It’s tied directly to the vehicle’s security system (Pass-Key/VATS) and specific options. Simply swapping a module without proper VIN programming will result in a no-start condition every time. Our service handles this critical programming step for you, making the repair process as smooth as possible.
This Programmed 12648344 ECM is your complete solution. After purchase, simply provide us with your VIN, and we’ll handle the complex programming before it ships. Get your heavy-duty truck or van back in service and running strong.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship the ECM without it. You can typically send it through the platform’s messaging system or in the order notes.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
Yes. In most cases, a ‘theft deterrent relearn’ procedure will be required to sync the new ECM with your vehicle’s security system. Other vehicle-specific setups, like a crankshaft position variation relearn or injector flow rate programming, may also be necessary. These procedures are the responsibility of the installer.
Is this a brand new part?
No, this is a high-quality, used OEM part that has been sourced from a salvaged vehicle. Each unit is thoroughly tested to ensure it is fully functional before being programmed and shipped.
How can I be sure my original ECM is the problem?
While we can’t diagnose your vehicle remotely, common indicators of a failed ECM include a no-start condition with no communication to the scan tool, multiple unrelated error codes, or specific ECM-related faults like P0606. We recommend a professional diagnosis before ordering.
Which vehicles does this part fit?
This ECM fits 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500, and Express/Savana 2500/3500 vans equipped with the 6.6L Duramax diesel engine. Please verify that your original part number is 12648344.
