Is your 2006 Chevrolet Impala running rough, stalling unexpectedly, or displaying a stubborn check engine light?

- Engine Performance Issues: Unexplained misfires, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or a sudden drop in fuel economy.
- Starting Problems: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or intermittent no-start conditions.

A Technician’s Perspective: With over 20 years on the garage floor, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners chase expensive sensor and wiring repairs, only to find the root cause was a failing ECM. A computer with corrupted software can send false signals across the vehicle’s network, making a correct diagnosis nearly impossible. Installing a properly programmed 2006 Impala engine control module like this one often resolves a whole host of confusing electronic issues at once, saving you from a frustrating and costly cycle of parts-swapping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this to a dealer for programming?
No. This module arrives at your door pre-programmed to the VIN you provide during checkout. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your 2006 Impala. This ensures we can load the exact correct software for your vehicle’s specific options and systems.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM (e.g., codes P0601-P0606), this part is the correct solution. However, you should always have the codes scanned to ensure the issue is not with a different sensor or component on the vehicle.
How do I find my 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 any additional setup required after installation?
In some GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) may be necessary after installation. This is a simple procedure that can typically be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Instructions are widely available online or in service manuals.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The provided list covers the most common service numbers this unit replaces. If your number is different, please contact us with your VIN and original part number. We will be happy to verify compatibility for you to ensure you get the right 2006 Impala engine control module.
