Programmed 2008-2009 Torrent Engine Module 12622141 | Direct Fit

Restore Peak Performance to Your Pontiac Torrent

Is your 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent suffering from frustrating issues like stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your vehicle. A faulty ECM can disrupt everything from fuel delivery and spark timing to transmission shifting, making your vehicle unreliable and unsafe. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that needs a dependable solution.

This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 12622141, is the definitive fix for these problems. We take the guesswork and high costs out of the equation. Unlike a generic part from a salvage yard, each module we ship is professionally programmed with the latest official GM software updates, tailored specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This ensures seamless communication with all other onboard systems and often corrects underlying software issues the original factory module may have had. Get your vehicle running smoothly again with a reliable, ready-to-install solution.

Common Signs of a Failing Engine Control Module

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty ECM could be the root cause. A failing module can trigger a variety of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), and replacing it is often the final step after ruling out sensor or wiring issues.

• ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated with codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault).
• ✔ Your vehicle fails to start or starts intermittently.
• ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
• ✔ Engine stalling, sputtering, or running rough.
• ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
• ✔ Loss of communication with the scan tool or other modules (U-codes).

Your Straightforward ECM Installation Guide

Installing your new 2008-2009 Torrent Engine Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. Our VIN-programming service means you won’t need a trip to the dealer for software flashing. Just follow these general steps.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 15 minutes for the system capacitors to discharge.
2. Locate the ECM: On the 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent, the Engine Control Module is typically found in the engine compartment on the driver’s side (LH), often near the firewall or integrated with the fuse box assembly.
3. Disconnect Connectors: Carefully unclip the wiring harness connectors from the old module. These connectors have locking tabs that must be released before you can pull them out. Do not force them.
4. Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the old ECM from its mounting bracket. Keep the hardware, as you may need to reuse it.
5. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed ECM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
6. Reconnect and Secure: Firmly plug the wiring harnesses into the new module until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
7. Perform Relearn (If Necessary): While our programming handles the heavy lifting, some vehicles require a security or crankshaft position sensor relearn procedure. This can often be done without special tools (e.g., by cycling the key). Consult a service manual for your specific vehicle if it fails to start or a security light is on.
