Get back the power, reliability, and driving pleasure you expect from your GM vehicle.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is a likely culprit:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with no clear cause
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0601, P0603, or P0606
- Engine misfires, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration
- Drastic decrease in fuel economy
- Intermittent or complete no-start conditions
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools

An Expert’s Note on Modern Vehicle Electronics
“In today’s vehicles, the ECM is the brain of the entire operation. It doesn’t just manage the engine; it communicates constantly with the transmission controller, ABS module, body controller, and even the instrument cluster. That’s why our VIN-programming service is so critical. Installing a generic, un-programmed module is like giving the brain amnesiaโit doesn’t know the body it’s in. Our process ensures this new brain speaks the exact language of your car from the moment it’s installed, preventing a cascade of communication errors and ensuring all systems work in harmony, just as the engineers intended.”

This module is the key to resolving complex electronic issues and getting you back on the road with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed?
No. This ECM comes fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We handle all the flashing and software updates before it ships, so it’s ready to install right out of the box.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You can provide your 17-digit VIN in the notes section during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as the programming is based entirely on this number.
Is any additional setup required after installation?
In some GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) may be necessary after installation. This is a simple procedure that can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
How can I be sure my old ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, it’s always best to have a professional diagnosis. Common trouble codes pointing to internal module failure, like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault), are very strong signs that the ECM needs replacement.
Is this compatible with other vehicles besides the 2009 Corvette?
Yes. This ECM, part number 12636659, is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM cars, trucks, and SUVs from roughly 2009-2012. Please see the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and engine.
