Is Your GM Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden cause behind frustrating and unpredictable vehicle problems. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or a no-start condition, your vehicle’s central computer may be failing. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical issue that compromises your vehicle’s performance, safety, and reliability.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“Many people think swapping an ECM is like changing a battery. It’s not. Modern vehicles are complex networks. Programming an ECM to a specific VIN isn’t just about making the engine start; it’s about ensuring the anti-theft system recognizes your key, the transmission control module shifts at the right time, and the ABS system functions correctly. A generic or non-programmed module can cause more problems than it solves. Our VIN-flashing service ensures all these systems integrate seamlessly, just as the engineers intended, giving you a reliable repair and true peace of mind.”
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your vehicle off the road. Ordering this Programmed 12668866 ECM is the first step toward a lasting, reliable repair. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we’ll handle the complex programming for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to load the exact, most up-to-date GM software for your specific vehicle onto the module before it ships. This ensures it’s ready for your vehicle.
Is this a plug-and-play unit?
Because it comes programmed to your VIN, it eliminates the need for dealership programming tools. In many cases, you can install it and the vehicle will start and run. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple, key-on/key-off security relearn procedure that you can perform yourself without any special tools. Instructions can typically be found online or in your owner’s manual.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are caused by a faulty ECM, this replacement module will solve the problem. However, if the codes are triggered by another failing sensor or component (like an oxygen sensor or ignition coil), you will still need to repair that underlying issue.
What information do you need from me?
The only information we need is the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your vehicle. You can find this on your driver’s side dashboard (viewable through the windshield), on the driver’s door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
How can I be sure this part fits my vehicle?
Please check the comprehensive fitment list on this page. The most reliable method is to match the part number on your existing module to 12668866 or any of the other compatible part numbers listed. If you are unsure, please contact us with your VIN before ordering.
What is the warranty on this module?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
