Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this ECM?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. In many GM vehicles, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a VATS or Passlock relearn) which takes about 30 minutes and requires only the ignition key. We can provide instructions for this simple process.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your 17-digit VIN to the order notes or send it to us in a message. We cannot program and ship the module without your vehicle’s VIN, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
This ECM is a direct solution for a failed module. However, it’s crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix issues related to bad sensors, wiring faults, or other mechanical problems. We always recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure.
My original part number isn’t 12607096, but it’s on your list. Will this work?
Yes. This ECM is the designated service replacement for all the part numbers listed in the description (e.g., 12590032, 12602044, etc.). We will program it to function perfectly for your vehicle, regardless of which of those original part numbers you have.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested component that is guaranteed to meet or exceed all original equipment specifications. Each unit undergoes rigorous inspection and validation to ensure lasting performance and reliability.
