An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming: Our lead technician often says, ‘An ECM without the right VIN programming is just a metal box.’ Your vehicle’s VIN isn’t just a serial number; it’s a blueprint for its specific options, security system, and emissions calibration.

This prevents the frustrating communication errors and anti-theft lockouts that happen with un-programmed units, saving you hours of diagnostic headaches and a potential tow to the dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This Engine Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN number before we ship it. It is designed to be a plug-and-play installation. In some cases, a simple security or Crankshaft Variation (CASE) relearn procedure may be necessary, which can often be completed without specialized tools.
Where do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle.
What if my original part number isn’t an exact match to 12607096?
This ECM is a direct replacement for multiple GM service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, and others listed in the description. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this module will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
How can I be sure my old ECM is the problem?
While professional diagnosis is always recommended, common signs of a failing ECM include a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire, multiple unrelated trouble codes (especially communication codes), and persistent performance issues that haven’t been solved by replacing sensors or other components.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers the ECM unit itself. If the part fails due to a manufacturing or programming defect within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. It does not cover labor costs or diagnostic fees.
