Real-World Repair Story
What does ‘programmed to my VIN’ mean?
It means we load the module with the specific software and calibrations for your truck’s exact configuration—engine, transmission, and options—based on its unique VIN. This makes the part ready for installation right out of the box, without needing a trip to a dealer for expensive programming.
Will I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a ‘key-on/key-off’ cycle. This allows your vehicle’s anti-theft system to synchronize with the new ECM. Instructions are readily available online for your specific model and are included in our installation guide above.
Where is the ECM located on my 2011 Canyon?
For the 2009-2012 GMC Canyon and its counterpart, the Chevy Colorado, the Engine Control Module is mounted to the firewall on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
How do I provide my VIN?
Please enter your 17-digit VIN in the designated field on the checkout page. It is crucial that this number is accurate, as we use it to ensure perfect programming for your vehicle.
Will this part fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the ECM (common codes P0601, P0606, etc.), then yes, this part is the correct fix. However, a check engine light can be caused by many other components. Proper diagnosis is always recommended to ensure you are replacing the correct part.
Is this module compatible with other part numbers?
Yes. This ECM, part number 12628911, directly replaces many other service numbers, including 12636659, 12639300, 1263605, 12628993, 12625453, 12622175, 12630464, and 12678512, ensuring broad compatibility.
