Restore Your SUV’s Performance and Reliability
Is your GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, or Buick Enclave suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a complete no-start condition can often be traced back to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). Instead of dealing with the high costs and hassle of a dealership visit, this professionally programmed ECM offers a direct, reliable, and cost-effective solution to get your family’s vehicle back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can cause a wide range of problems that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing ECM is a likely culprit:
- Engine stalling or misfiring unexpectedly
- Difficulty starting the engine or a no-start condition
- Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- Poor or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- Check Engine Light is on with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0606, or U-series codes
- Loss of power and sluggish acceleration
This unit is the definitive solution. We take a high-quality replacement ECM and flash it with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This process ensures that your new computer works seamlessly with all of your vehicle’s existing systems, effectively erasing the problems caused by the old, failing unit. This is the same service a dealership provides, but without the inconvenient appointment and inflated price tag.

Expert Insight: The Junkyard ECM Gamble
As a technician, I’ve seen many people try to save a few dollars by pulling an ECM from a salvage yard. The problem is that an ECM is not a simple mechanical part; it’s the ‘brain’ of the car, coded specifically to the vehicle it came from. Installing a used, non-programmed ECM will almost always result in a no-start condition due to the anti-theft system (immobilizer) mismatch. You’ll then have to tow the vehicle to a shop or dealer for programming, erasing any initial savings. Our service for this 2010-2011 Acadia programmed ECM completely bypasses that expensive and time-consuming gamble, delivering a guaranteed, ready-to-install solution right to your door.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your ECM without it. You can add the VIN to the notes section at checkout or send it to us in a message.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
For the vast majority of vehicles this ECM fits (Acadia, Traverse, Enclave, etc.), no further programming is needed. It is a plug-and-play installation. However, for the Cadillac CTS and STS, a crankshaft position sensor relearn procedure may be required using a capable scan tool. For the Camaro and LaCrosse, you will need to send us your original ECM to clone the immobilizer data, which we will coordinate with you after your purchase.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This 2010-2011 Acadia programmed ECM is designed to correct issues directly caused by a faulty engine computer. While it solves the vast majority of the symptoms listed above, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix underlying mechanical or wiring issues.
Where is this part located on my vehicle?
The location varies slightly by model. On the Acadia, Traverse, Enclave, and Outlook, the ECM is located behind the cooling fan shroud. On the LaCrosse and Allure, it’s in the LH (driver’s side) engine compartment. On the CTS and STS, it’s in the RH (passenger side) engine compartment.
How does the warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a failure within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. Please contact us to initiate the warranty process.
