An Expert’s Insight: As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers chase phantom issues, replacing sensors and wiring, only to find the root cause was the ECM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
Yes. While the module is programmed to your VIN, you will need to perform a standard security relearn procedure (often called a key relearn or anti-theft relearn) after installation. This process pairs the new ECM to your vehicle’s keys and security system. The procedure is straightforward and can typically be done without special tools.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship your part until we have programmed it with your specific VIN.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a quality-tested, fully functional component that is guaranteed to perform to original equipment standards. Each unit is meticulously inspected and programmed to ensure reliability and longevity.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This ECM is the solution for a wide range of issues caused by a failing engine computer. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm that the ECM is the source of your vehicle’s problem before making a purchase.
What if my original part number isn’t 12602044?
This ECM is a direct replacement for a range of GM service numbers, including 12590032, 12603530, 12605843, and others listed in the description. As long as your original part number is on our interchange list, this unit will be a compatible replacement once programmed to your VIN.
