Restore Peak Performance to Your HUMMER H2
Is your 2007 HUMMER H2 experiencing frustrating issues like a no-start condition, erratic engine behavior, or a persistent Check Engine Light? As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen countless times how a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can be the culprit behind a vehicle that’s lost its reliability. The ECM is the central computer of your engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifts. When it fails, the symptoms can be widespread and confusing, often leading to wasted time and money on incorrect repairs.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a direct solution. We provide a high-quality Engine Control Module, part number 12589297, that comes professionally programmed to your H2’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that the module communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other systems right out of the box. We load the latest GM-certified software, which can often resolve underlying drivability issues that older software versions may have had. Forget about expensive trips to the dealership for programming—we handle it all before it ships, making your repair process as simple as possible.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2007 H2 that rolled into my bay with a list of complaints: intermittent stalling at red lights, hard shifting, and a check engine light that three other shops couldn’t solve. The owner had already replaced the throttle body and two O2 sensors. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw a P0606 code (ECM/PCM Processor Fault) that would appear and disappear. Instead of just throwing more parts at it, we focused on the central processor. By installing a VIN-programmed 2007 HUMMER H2 ECM, we not only cleared the P0606 code for good but also resolved the stalling and shifting problems. The issue wasn’t the sensors; it was the brain reading them incorrectly. This is a classic example of how starting with the right diagnosis and a properly prepared module saves the customer hundreds in the long run.
Is Your HUMMER H2 Showing These ECM Failure Signs?
A failing engine computer can manifest in various ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM may need replacement. Look out for these symptoms and associated Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P0601, P0602, P0606, or P062F.
- ✔ Vehicle won’t start or is extremely difficult to start.
- ✔ Poor fuel economy and engine performance.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling or rough idling.
- ✔ Communication errors with your scan tool (e.g., U0100 – Lost Communication With ECM/PCM).
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Apparent failure of multiple unrelated sensors at the same time.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the ECM on your H2 is a task many DIYers can handle with basic tools. Our pre-programmed module eliminates the most complicated step. For your 2007 HUMMER H2, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under the battery tray.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the post to prevent any accidental reconnection.
- Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the battery and the battery tray to gain clear access to the Engine Control Module.
- Disconnect Connectors: Carefully unlatch and disconnect the electrical wiring harnesses from the old ECM. Inspect the connectors for any signs of corrosion or damage and clean them if necessary.
- Remove Old ECM: Unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket. Keep the hardware as you will need it for the new module.
- Install New ECM: Mount your new, VIN-programmed ECM onto the bracket and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug the wiring harnesses into the new module until they click into place. Reinstall the battery tray and the battery.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. In some cases, a security or crank position sensor relearn procedure may be required with a capable scan tool, though many vehicles will start and run immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is VIN programming?
VIN programming is the process of loading your vehicle’s specific software and settings onto the module using your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number. This ensures the ECM works correctly with your H2’s engine, transmission, and options package, just like the original part from the factory.
Do I need to do anything after I install this 2007 HUMMER H2 ECM?
Our goal is a plug-and-play experience. After installation, the vehicle should start and run. In some GM vehicles, a security relearn or a Crankshaft Position Variation relearn may be needed. This is a simple procedure that can be done with many bidirectional scan tools or by a local mechanic.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
Where is the ECM located on my 2007 HUMMER H2?
On the 2007 H2, the Engine Control Module is typically found in the engine compartment on the driver’s side (LH), located underneath the battery and battery tray.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct, compatible replacement for several part numbers, including 12597121, 12603892, and 19210738. As long as your vehicle is on our compatibility list, this module will function correctly.
