Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the Programmed 12692068 ECM specifically for your vehicle’s configuration.
What is a “theft relearn” and is it required?
Yes, upon installation, a vehicle theft deterrent system relearn is mandatory. This security procedure syncs the new ECM to your vehicle’s keys and anti-theft system. It must be performed by you or your mechanic using a professional GM programming tool, such as Tis2web or Techline Connect.
Are other relearn procedures necessary?
Depending on your vehicle, additional procedures like a crankshaft position variation relearn or injector flow rate programming may be required. These are the responsibility of the installer and are standard practice when replacing an ECM.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with mechanical experience. However, the critical post-installation electronic procedures (theft relearn, etc.) require professional-grade diagnostic tools and knowledge. We recommend professional installation.
Will this fix my vehicle’s problem for sure?
This ECM is the guaranteed solution for a failed module. Because many symptoms can overlap with other failing parts, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the ECM is the root cause of your vehicle’s issues before ordering.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No. There is no core charge or core return required for this part, saving you time and shipping costs.
