Is your 2009 Sierra 1500, or another compatible GM vehicle, suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? A persistent check engine light, sudden stalling, rough idling, or a complete no-start condition often points directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer after I receive it?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that the module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you time and money.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need you to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to flash the ECM with the correct software and calibrations for your exact model and options.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most GM trucks and SUVs, the ECM is located in the engine compartment (typically on the driver’s side) and is accessible with basic hand tools. The process usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. It’s a manageable job for a confident DIYer.
How can I be sure my original ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators of ECM failure, it’s always best practice to have a professional diagnosis performed. This can confirm that the ECM is the root cause and that there aren’t other underlying issues with wiring or sensors.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated trouble codes are being caused by a faulty internal ECM processor or circuit (e.g., code P0606), then replacing it with this programmed unit will resolve the issue. After installation, you should clear any stored codes with a scan tool.
