There’s nothing more frustrating than when your rugged 2008 Hummer H3 starts acting up.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Many people are tempted to buy a used ECM from a salvage yard, hoping for a cheap fix. However, an ECM is not a simple swap-out part. It’s the brain of your H3, containing specific information about your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and security system (Passlock/VATS). Installing a non-programmed unit will, at best, not work and, at worst, can cause conflicting signals and further diagnostic headaches. Our VIN programming service ensures that the 2008 Hummer H3 engine control module you receive is a perfect digital match for your vehicle, just like the original one from the factory, but with the benefit of the latest software improvements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you must send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a placard on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for most vehicles this module is designed to be plug-and-play. Because we program it to your VIN, it should integrate seamlessly. However, some GM vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a VATS relearn) which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions for this simple procedure are widely available online.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This 2008 Hummer H3 engine control module is the solution for a wide array of issues directly caused by a failing computer. While proper diagnosis is always recommended, symptoms like no-start, communication codes, and erratic engine behavior are very common indicators of ECM failure. This part is designed to be the definitive fix for those specific failures.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This ECM is a direct replacement for the 2008 Hummer H3 and is interchangeable with service numbers 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, 12630457, and 19210737. If your original module has one of these numbers, this is the correct replacement part.
Do I need to send my old ECM (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module.
