Is your 2008 GMC Canyon suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems?

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners waste time and money on used computers from a salvage yard. Those units are not programmed for your specific vehicle and will not work correctly without a trip to the dealer. They often have unknown histories and can cause more problems than they solve. Our process of programming the 2008 GMC Canyon ECM 12607096 to your VIN before it ships is the single most important step in guaranteeing a successful repair. It ensures all the specific options and security protocols your truck left the factory with are correctly loaded, making the installation as simple as swapping the part.

No. This ECM arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN and is ready for installation right out of the box.

We include instructions for this common procedure.
