- Complete no-start or intermittent starting issues.
- Engine stalling unexpectedly while driving or at idle.
- Loss of communication with diagnostic scan tools.
- Multiple unrelated Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), especially communication codes (U-codes).
- Poor engine performance, reduced power, and decreased fuel economy.
- Check Engine Light is on with codes like P0606 (ECM Processor Fault).
This module is the direct, reliable fix for these issues, restoring the critical brainpower your Duramax engine needs to operate flawlessly.

A Pro’s Tip for a Smooth Installation:
Many customers ask about the post-installation steps. After installing your new ECM, a “Vehicle Theft Deterrent System Relearn” is mandatory. This is not a defect; it’s a standard GM security procedure that pairs the new computer to your truck’s ignition and anti-theft system. This process requires a GM-compatible scan tool (like a Tech 2 or MDI) with access to GM’s TIS2Web service. We handle the complex engine calibration programming; your technician just needs to perform this final security handshake. Being prepared for this step ensures a smooth, successful repair.
Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your truck’s reliability. By ordering this Programmed 12658036 ECM, you’re not just buying a part—you’re investing in dependability and getting your Duramax back to its full operational strength. Provide your VIN at checkout and let our experts handle the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide?
After your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to load the correct GM software and calibrations for your specific truck or van.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
The unit is programmed to your VIN for a direct physical fit and correct engine operation. However, a mandatory Vehicle Theft Deterrent System relearn procedure must be performed after installation for the vehicle to start. This is a standard security step for this repair.
What tools are needed for the security relearn?
This procedure typically requires a professional-grade, GM-compatible scan tool with pass-thru capabilities (like a GM MDI/MDI2 or equivalent) and an active subscription to GM’s TIS2Web programming service. This is standard for most professional repair shops.
