Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After completing your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a placard on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is any additional programming needed after installation?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN with the latest GM software. In most cases, it is a direct installation. However, some vehicles may require a security or crank relearn procedure which can be performed with a capable scan tool.
How can I be sure this part will fit my vehicle?
This ECM is compatible with the models listed in the description, including the 2005 Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Chevy Trailblazer, and others with the 5.3L engine. The key is the VIN programming, which tailors the software specifically to your vehicle’s options and systems. Please cross-reference your original part’s service number with the ones listed (12597191, 12578554, etc.) to confirm.
What are the signs of a failing ECM?
Common signs include a check engine light that won’t go away, random stalling, poor engine performance, decreased fuel mileage, and a complete failure to start. These symptoms occur because the ECM can no longer correctly manage the engine’s fuel, spark, and air ratios.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, which covers any defects in the module itself. If the part fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit.
