They install the part, but the car won’t start because the anti-theft system doesn’t recognize the new computer. Our critical step of programming the module to your VIN before we ship is what separates a frustrating project from a successful repair. It’s the key to ensuring your car accepts the new ECM and runs smoothly without needing a tow to the dealer for expensive programming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing the ECM?
In many cases, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a VATS relearn. This can typically be done yourself in about 30 minutes without any special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. This syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
How do I provide you with my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot program and ship the module without it.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This ECM fits a wide range of GM models. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page and match your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine. The most important step is to match one of the service numbers (e.g., 12607096, 12590032, etc.) listed in the description to the number on your current module.
What’s the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) refer to the same part. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a module that controls both the engine and the transmission. For your vehicle, this part serves as the primary engine computer.
Will this fix my specific problem or check engine light?
This module will resolve issues and trouble codes directly caused by a failing ECM. It is crucial to have a proper diagnosis performed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure. It will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or mechanical components.
