Is Your Vehicle Running Rough, Stalling, or Showing a Check Engine Light?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your Cadillac, GMC, or Chevrolet is experiencing baffling issues like intermittent stalling, poor acceleration, erratic shifting, or a persistent check engine light, the problem often points to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and safety. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you sidelined. This pre-programmed ECM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures, leading to costly and incorrect repairs. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely fix:
- Check Engine Light: With communication codes like U0100 or internal processor codes like P0606.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, often due to a lack of fuel or spark command from the ECM.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
- Erratic Shifting: The transmission may shift harshly, at the wrong times, or not at all, as the ECM plays a key role in transmission control.
- Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle, creating a dangerous situation.
This is the direct solution for the 2009-2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT Engine Computer and a wide range of other GM vehicles. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the unit specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ever leaves our facility.

An Expert’s Take on Modern Repairs
“In my 20+ years of diagnostics, I’ve seen vehicles become more complex, operating on sophisticated computer networks. The days of simple part swaps are often gone. A new ECM is like a blank slate; it knows nothing about your vehicle’s specific options, security system, or engine type. That’s why pre-programming is a game-changer. By flashing the module with the vehicle’s VIN and the newest GM software *before* shipping, we’re not just sending a part—we’re delivering a complete solution. It saves our customers hundreds of dollars in dealership fees and hours of diagnostic headaches, turning a complex electronic repair into a manageable installation.”
Take control of your repair and restore your vehicle to its original, reliable performance. A properly functioning engine computer is the foundation of your vehicle’s health. By choosing our expertly programmed 2009-2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT Engine Computer, you’re choosing a solution that is both effective and efficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Engine Control Module (ECM) do?
The ECM is the ‘brain’ of your vehicle’s engine. It uses data from sensors throughout the engine to control critical functions like fuel mixture, ignition timing, and emissions systems. A properly functioning ECM is essential for performance, fuel economy, and reliability.
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 cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, involving disconnecting the battery and removing a few bolts and electrical connectors. Since we pre-program the unit, you avoid the complex computer-based work. We always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle’s procedure.
Will I need to do anything else after installation?
In many cases, the vehicle will start and run perfectly after installation. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple, non-tool ‘Security Relearn’ procedure or a ‘CASE Relearn’ that can be performed by most professional scan tools. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
My original part number is 12625455. Will this work?
Yes. This ECM, part number 12629009, is a fully compatible and interchangeable replacement for part number 12625455. It will function identically in all listed applications.
What does ‘plug-and-play’ mean for this part?
It means the most difficult and expensive part of the job—programming the module to your vehicle—is done before you receive it. You simply install it, and in most cases, your vehicle is ready to go, saving you a costly trip to the dealer. This is the core value we provide for the 2009-2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT Engine Computer and all compatible models.
