Is Your Buick Terraza Running Unreliably?
Is your 2006 Buick Terraza giving you headaches with a persistent check engine light, unexpected stalling, or rough performance? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit behind these frustrating and concerning issues. Don’t let a faulty computer compromise your family’s safety and your peace of mind. This pre-programmed ECM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your minivan’s performance and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely fix:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination, often with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- Stalling or Hesitation: The engine may cut out unexpectedly while driving or hesitate during acceleration.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start due to incorrect fuel or spark commands.
- Poor Fuel Economy: Inefficient engine operation caused by faulty sensor readings or calculations.
- Erratic Shifting: The ECM plays a role in transmission communication, and a failure can lead to harsh or incorrect gear changes.
This module, specifically the 2006 Buick Terraza ECM 12603530, is engineered to resolve these issues permanently by replacing the faulty core of your vehicle’s engine management system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the ECM to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This handles the essential programming, saving you a costly trip to the dealership.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive this information, as it is required for programming.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, the physical installation is a direct swap. Once installed, you may need to perform a simple key relearn procedure to sync the module with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure can typically be done yourself and does not require special tools.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal failure of the original ECM (e.g., codes P0601-P0606), this replacement module is the correct solution. It’s always recommended to resolve any other fault codes related to sensors or wiring before replacing the ECM.
