Restore Your Uplander’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2006 Chevy Uplander suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? Stalling at intersections, rough idling, a persistent Check Engine Light, or even a complete failure to start can disrupt your daily life and compromise your family’s safety. These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable minivan off the road. This pre-programmed 2006 Chevy Uplander Engine Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to misdiagnosis and costly, unnecessary repairs. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty engine computer is the likely culprit:
- Erratic engine performance, including misfires, hesitation, or stalling
- Poor fuel economy and loss of power
- Illuminated Check Engine Light with codes like P0601, P0602, P0606, or other communication errors
- Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting
- Intermittent or complete no-start condition
This unit is your direct solution. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming this module specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures that it communicates perfectly with your Uplander’s factory systems, just as a brand-new unit from the dealer would—but without the exorbitant cost and programming fees. This is the most reliable way to fix the problem correctly the first time.

By matching the software to your van’s exact build, we ensure this 2006 Chevy Uplander Engine Control Module performs flawlessly from the moment you install it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle configuration and flash it onto the module before we ship it out.
Do I need to do anything after installation?
Yes. While the main engine programming is complete, you will likely need to perform a simple security relearn procedure. This can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. This syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. Instructions are readily available online or in service manuals for your 2006 Uplander.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Is this a direct fit for my vehicle?
Absolutely. This 2006 Chevy Uplander Engine Control Module is a guaranteed fit. It is also a direct replacement for the extensive list of makes and models provided in the fitment data, provided the service number on your original part matches one of the compatible numbers listed.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a required step for this purchase. To ensure you receive a perfectly matched and programmed part, we cannot ship your order until we receive the VIN from you. This step prevents compatibility issues and ensures a successful repair.
