It’s the modern, efficient way to handle a critical vehicle repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide after ordering?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it. This ensures the ECM is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific configuration.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
Our programming covers the engine and transmission operating systems. However, for security purposes, you may need to perform a simple ‘Security Relearn’ or ‘Key Relearn’ procedure. This can typically be done yourself in about 15-30 minutes without any special tools and instructions are readily available online.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found in several places: on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This ECM will correct any and all issues directly caused by a faulty engine computer. However, it is crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or mechanical components.
Is this compatible with other GM vehicles?
Yes, this ECM (service number 12607096) fits a very wide range of GM vehicles from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and more. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it is the correct part for your specific make, model, and year.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, which covers the part itself against failure for one year from the date of purchase.
