Is Your GM Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can turn your reliable vehicle into a source of constant frustration.

Common Symptoms of a Failing GM ECM & Your Solution

- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various communication or sensor codes.
- Unexplained engine stalling or hesitation during acceleration.
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- Engine misfires or rough idling.

An Expert’s Note on Modern Vehicle Electronics
“In today’s vehicles, the ECM is more than just an engine controller; it’s the central hub of a complex communication network. It talks to the transmission, the anti-lock brakes, the security system, and even the radio. That’s why simply swapping a used ECM from another vehicle won’t work—the security and operating parameters are locked to the original car. Our VIN programming service correctly configures this Programmed 12655007 ECM to think it was born in your vehicle, ensuring all systems communicate seamlessly for restored performance and reliability.”
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 and ship your ECM without it. You can typically add this in the notes section at checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number.
Is this part truly “plug and play”?
Our programming handles the critical engine and operating system parameters. For most vehicles, it is a direct installation. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific anti-theft system, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure. This procedure can usually be done without special tools and instructions can be readily found online for your specific model.
Where does this part come from?
This is a genuine, used OEM component sourced from a salvaged vehicle. Each unit is carefully inspected and tested to ensure it is fully functional and ready for programming and service in your vehicle.
How can I be sure my ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of a failing ECM, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic. This ensures you are replacing the correct part and avoids unnecessary expenses. A mechanic can confirm if the Programmed 12655007 ECM is the right fix for your issue.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers the ECM for one year from the date of purchase. If the unit fails within that period due to an internal defect, we will provide a replacement unit. The warranty does not cover issues caused by improper installation or other failing components on the vehicle.
