As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners get stuck with a replacement computer that doesn’t work because it wasn’t programmed.

This process saves you hundreds of dollars in dealer fees and, more importantly, countless hours of frustration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. We handle all the programming before we ship the part. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and the ECM will arrive ready for installation.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found 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.
Will this fix my vehicle’s security system or ‘No Start’ issue?
In many cases, yes. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple ‘Security Relearn’ or ‘Key Relearn’ procedure after installation, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are readily available online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, tested replacement part guaranteed to function correctly. Each unit is meticulously inspected and programmed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for performance and reliability.
How do I know this is the exact part I need?
This module replaces multiple GM service numbers, including 12607096. The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the part number from your existing ECM. Our comprehensive fitment list also details the makes and models this part is compatible with.
What is the installation process like?
Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, removing the mounting bolts, and then installing the new unit in reverse order. While it’s a straightforward process for many DIY-ers, we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
