Restore Your Cadillac’s Flawless Performance
There’s nothing more frustrating than when a premium vehicle like your Cadillac XLR isn’t performing at its peak. If you’re experiencing baffling engine issues, a persistent check engine light, or unpredictable stalling, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This vital component is the brain of your vehicle, and when it falters, the entire driving experience suffers. It’s time to restore the precision and power you expect with a reliable, pre-programmed solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways, disrupting your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind. If you’re noticing any of the following, this part is your definitive solution:

- Engine Stalling or Misfiring: Unpredictable shutdowns or rough running, especially when idling or under load.
- Poor Fuel Economy: The engine isn’t receiving the correct parameters for efficient operation, leading to more trips to the pump.

Expert Insight: The Smartest Way to Replace Your ECM
In the past, replacing an ECM was a major ordeal. You’d buy a blank module, have your vehicle towed to a dealer, and pay hundreds in labor for them to program it. Our process changes everything. By handling the complex programming in-house, we deliver a component that is ready for installation right out of the box. This not only saves you significant money but also precious time. It’s the modern, intelligent solution for a critical vehicle repair, putting control back in your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical part of the order.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Because this 12607096 Engine Control Module comes programmed to your VIN, it is designed to be as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, some GM vehicles require a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) to sync the new ECM with the ignition key. This is a simple procedure that can often be done without special tools and instructions can be found online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
How can I confirm this part fits my exact vehicle?
Please review the extensive fitment list provided on this page. The most accurate way to ensure compatibility is to match the service number from your existing module to one of the numbers listed (e.g., 12607096, 12590032, 19210737, etc.). Providing your VIN for programming serves as a final verification step.
What happens if I install this without programming?
An unprogrammed ECM will not work in your vehicle. It will not be able to communicate with the other modules, and your vehicle will not start. Our mandatory VIN programming service ensures you receive a fully functional part ready for installation.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence and peace of mind in your purchase.
