Restore Your Pontiac’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Pontiac G3 suffering from a persistent check engine light, erratic idling, stalling, or poor fuel economy? These frustrating issues often point directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your vehicle. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This professionally programmed ECM is the direct, reliable solution to restore your car’s original performance and get you back to driving with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Solution
A failing ECM can cause a wide range of confusing problems that can be difficult to diagnose. If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, our pre-programmed module is the definitive fix:
- Check Engine Light: Specifically for internal module failure codes like P0601, P0602, P0605, or P0606.
- No-Start or Hard-Start: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or only starts after many attempts.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and rough running.
- Reduced Fuel Economy: Your car is suddenly using more gas than usual without a change in driving habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No. We program the ECM to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. It arrives ready to install. However, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a key relearn) after installation, which takes about 30 minutes and requires only your car key. We provide easy-to-follow instructions for this process.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a professionally inspected and verified original equipment part that has been tested to ensure it meets or exceeds factory specifications. Each unit is programmed with the latest software from GM for optimal performance and longevity.
What if my original part number is not 12636386?
This ECM is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 12679199, 12642927, 12621466, and 12630789. As long as your vehicle make, model, and year are listed as compatible, this unit will work perfectly once programmed to your VIN.
Will this fix my car’s specific problem?
This ECM will correct any issue directly caused by a faulty engine computer, including common internal failure DTCs. While it solves a wide range of problems, we always recommend having a qualified mechanic properly diagnose your vehicle to ensure the ECM is the root cause of the issue before ordering.
