Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2009 GMC Envoy, Trailblazer, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit behind problems like a persistent check engine light, poor engine performance, stalling, or a complete no-start condition. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a compromise on your vehicle’s reliability. We offer the definitive solution: a professionally programmed ECM, part number 12625453, that gets you back on the road with confidence and without the exorbitant costs and delays of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor failures and leading to frustrating, expensive diagnostic dead-ends. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this pre-programmed ECM is the solution you need:
- Erratic engine behavior, such as rough idling, stumbling, or stalling
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- Failure to pass emissions testing
- Illuminated Check Engine Light with codes like P0601, P0602, P0606, or other communication-related faults

Expert Insight: The Ghost in the Machine
“We had a customer with a 2010 Colorado that had been to three different shops. The truck had a bizarre, intermittent issue where the A/C would cut out and the transmission would shift hard, but only on hot days. No codes were stored consistently. The shops replaced the A/C compressor and a transmission solenoid, but the problem persisted. The owner was ready to sell the truck. On a hunch, we suggested swapping the ECM. The original unit was failing internally when it got hot, causing data corruption on the CAN bus network that affected other modules. Installing a correctly programmed 2009 GMC Envoy 5.3L ECM 12625453 (which also fits his truck) solved everything instantly. Sometimes, the brain is the source of all the body’s problems.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. When you receive the ECM, it is fully flashed with the latest GM software and programmed to the VIN you provide, making it ready for installation right out of the box.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most of the compatible vehicles, the ECM is in an accessible location (like the firewall or engine compartment). Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. It is a manageable job for a confident DIYer with basic hand tools. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of your original ECM (common codes include P0601-P0606), then this part is the correct fix. It is crucial to ensure your vehicle’s issues have been properly diagnosed, as a check engine light can be triggered by many other faulty components.
My original part number isn’t 12625453, but it’s on your list. Will this work?
Yes. GM often uses multiple part numbers (service numbers) for the same component over its production life. We have confirmed that this ECM is the correct, interchangeable replacement for all the service numbers listed, including 12636659, 12639300, and 12628911. It will function identically to your original.
