Get Your Vehicle Back on the Road, Fast.
Is your GM truck, SUV, or performance car suddenly acting up? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can bring your vehicle to a standstill, causing immense frustration and disrupting your life. Symptoms like a no-start condition, poor fuel economy, erratic engine behavior, or a dashboard full of warning lights often point directly to a failing engine computer. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that needs a reliable solution. We provide the definitive answer: a professionally programmed 12663391 ECM, flashed with the latest GM software and tailored specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a failing ECM is the likely culprit. This module is the direct solution to correct these problems and restore your vehicle’s proper function.
- Complete no-start or intermittent starting problems.
- Check Engine Light is on with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0100.
- Poor engine performance, hesitation, or stalling.
- Reduced fuel efficiency for no apparent reason.
- Erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- Other warning lights (e.g., traction control, ABS) illuminating without a clear cause.
By replacing your old unit with our programmed 12663391 ECM, you are installing a component that is ready to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle’s systems, restoring the precise control and reliability you expect from your GM vehicle.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of Correct Programming
As a veteran technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle issues caused by improperly matched control modules. Simply buying a used ECM from a salvage yard and plugging it in will not work on modern vehicles. The module contains critical data specific to the original vehicle’s VIN, including security information, transmission type, and emissions controls. Our process eliminates that guesswork. By programming the module to your VIN before it ships, we ensure all systems communicate correctly from the moment of installation. This pre-programming is the key to avoiding frustrating communication errors and ensuring your programmed 12663391 ECM functions exactly as the factory intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to load the correct, vehicle-specific software and calibrations from GM. This step ensures the ECM communicates properly with your engine, transmission, and other onboard systems for a true plug-and-play installation.
Is this a plug-and-play module?
Yes, for the most part. We handle the difficult programming. After installation, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key relearn or anti-theft relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. This syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN after purchase?
We cannot ship the module until we have your VIN. The programming is a required step to ensure the part functions in your vehicle. We will contact you after your purchase to request the information needed to proceed with your order.
Does this ECM fix transmission shifting issues?
In many cases, yes. The ECM works in concert with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to manage shift points and behavior. If the ECM is sending faulty data, it can cause poor shifting. Replacing a faulty ECM often resolves these related transmission symptoms.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
Our one-year replacement warranty covers the module itself against any defects in function or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If the unit fails within this period, we will provide a replacement.
