Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my car’s 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 perfectly with your car’s engine, transmission, anti-lock brakes, and security system, making the installation truly plug-and-play.
Will I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In most cases, the installation is straightforward. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) to sync the new ECM with your car’s anti-theft system. This procedure can typically be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online.
How can I be sure my old ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis often involves checking for specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to internal module failure (like P0601-P0606) or a complete loss of communication with a scan tool. If other components like sensors and wiring have been checked and are in good working order, the ECM is the most likely cause.
Is this a difficult part to replace?
For the Pontiac G6, the ECM is located in the driver’s side front of the engine compartment. Replacement typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging a few electrical connectors, and removing a few mounting bolts. For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, it is a very manageable job.
What service numbers does this part replace?
This ECM is a direct, interchangeable replacement for several original GM service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, 12630457, and 19210737. If your original module has any of these numbers, this part is a guaranteed match.
