Restore Peak Performance to Your Cadillac
Is your 2009 Cadillac CTS running rough, displaying a persistent check engine light, or suffering from frustrating intermittent issues?

An Expert’s Note on ECM Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless issues arise from improperly matched electronics. An ECM isn’t just a part; it’s the central command of your vehicle. Simply installing a used module from another car can lead to security system lockouts, incorrect engine parameters, and a cascade of new error codes. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenienceโit’s a procedural necessity. We ensure the digital ‘handshake’ between the ECM and your Cadillac’s other modules is perfect, just as it was from the factory.
Don’t let a faulty computer compromise the luxury and performance of your car. This professionally prepared 2009 Cadillac CTS ECM 12628993 is the most reliable and straightforward way to get your vehicle running perfectly again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this ECM myself?
No. This ECM arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is designed to be a plug-and-play solution, requiring no further dealer intervention for software installation.
How do I provide my VIN number?
You will be prompted to enter your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as this is essential for correct programming.
Will this fit vehicles other than the 2009 Cadillac CTS?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles. It directly interchanges with service numbers 12636659, 12639300, 1263605, 12628993, 12628911, 12625453, 12622175, 12630464, and 12678512.

What if my car has an anti-theft system?
In many cases, a security relearn procedure may be required after installation. This is a simple process that typically involves turning the key in the ignition for set intervals and does not require special tools. We include instructions for this common procedure.
Is this part guaranteed to fix my problem?
This part will correct any issues directly caused by a failing ECM. However, it is crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. If your issues are caused by faulty wiring, sensors, or other components, replacing the ECM will not resolve them. We recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified technician.
