- Inconsistent or erratic automatic transmission shifting

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. This means it arrives ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealership and their associated programming fees.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to load the correct, vehicle-specific software onto the module.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward installation. It typically involves disconnecting the vehicle’s battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, removing it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. It’s located on the RH firewall on the H3.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light?
If your check engine light is on due to a fault within the original ECM (like codes P0601, P0606, or U0100), then this replacement part will solve the problem. After installation, it is recommended to clear all codes with a standard OBD2 scanner.
What is a CASE Relearn and will I need one?
A Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE Relearn) may be required after installation to prevent a P0315 trouble code. This procedure syncs the new ECM with the crankshaft position sensor. Many mid-range scan tools can perform this procedure, or a qualified mechanic can do it for you.
Does this 2009-2010 Hummer H3 ECM 12628993 fit other vehicles?
Yes, this is a versatile module used across many GM vehicles from that era. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it is the correct part for your specific make, model, and engine.
