Restore Peak Performance to Your 2006 Buick Terraza
Is your 2006 Buick Terraza suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or a frustrating no-start condition? The Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your vehicle’s powertrain, is often the culprit. It manages critical functions like fuel mixture, ignition timing, and transmission shifts. When it fails, the symptoms can be widespread and difficult to diagnose. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 12603530, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s original performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2006 Terraza come in that was driving the owner crazy. It would stall intermittently at stoplights, but never threw a consistent code. We checked fuel pressure, sensors, and wiring, but everything seemed fine. On a hunch, we monitored the live data from the ECM and noticed the injector pulse width was dropping out randomly. We swapped in a pre-programmed ECM like this one, and the problem vanished instantly. It’s a great reminder that a failing computer can mimic a dozen other mechanical issues, making a reliable replacement the key to an accurate and lasting repair.
Signs Your Engine Control Module Needs Replacement
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear or returns immediately.

- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle build. We then flash this software onto the module before shipping it, ensuring it’s matched perfectly to your car.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, requiring basic hand tools to disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors, and unbolt the old module. In many cases, a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn) may be required after installation, which can be done with a capable scan tool or by following a specific key-on/key-off procedure.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this replacement module will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure the underlying problem isn’t a failed sensor or wiring issue that caused the original ECM to fail.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, tested component that has been meticulously inspected to ensure full functionality. It is programmed with fresh, vehicle-specific software to provide reliable, long-term performance.
What if I have a different GM vehicle from the fitment list?
This ECM is compatible with a very wide range of GM models as listed in the description. As long as your vehicle, year, and engine match one of the entries and your original part number is listed as interchangeable, this module will work perfectly once programmed to your VIN.
