Restore Your Vehicle’s Brain, Restore Your Drive
Is your Cadillac, Chevrolet, or GMC plagued by baffling electrical issues, a persistent Check Engine Light, or a frustrating no-start condition? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can disrupt everything from engine performance to fuel economy, turning your reliable vehicle into a source of constant stress. This isn’t just a part; it’s the central command center for your engine. We offer a direct, reliable solution: a professionally programmed ECM, flashed with the latest GM software and tailored specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. Get back the smooth power and confident performance you expect.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our pre-programmed module is the definitive fix:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (e.g., U0100)
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) pointing to internal processor failure, such as P0601, P0602, or P0606
- Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring for no apparent reason
- Unexplained drop in fuel efficiency
- Harsh or erratic transmission shifting
- Complete no-start or intermittent starting issues
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and dealership programming fees, this module arrives ready for a straightforward installation, solving the problem at its source. This is the most efficient way to get your vehicle back on the road and running perfectly.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I can’t stress this enough: a generic or non-programmed ECM is a recipe for disaster. Your vehicle’s VIN isn’t just a serial number; it’s a blueprint for its electronic DNA. It tells the ECM about your specific engine, transmission type, emissions equipment, axle ratio, and even tire size. Our VIN-matching process ensures this new GM 12633055 ECM integrates perfectly, just like the original, preventing a cascade of new error codes and performance problems. We handle this critical step for you, so you can be confident in your repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to do any programming after I install this ECM?
No. We program the GM 12633055 ECM to your VIN before shipping. In most cases, the only procedure you may need to perform is a security relearn (also known as a VATS relearn), which pairs the new ECM to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This can typically be done in your driveway in about 30 minutes without any special tools.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your part without it. You can find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this a direct replacement for part number 12633238?
Yes, this ECM is a fully compatible, direct replacement for both 12633055 and 12633238 part numbers. We ensure the software loaded is correct for your specific application.
What if my original part number is not listed?
If your part number is different, please contact us before ordering. The extensive fitment list covers many applications, but it’s always best to confirm compatibility to ensure a smooth installation process.
What makes this better than buying a used one from a junkyard?
A used ECM from another vehicle will not work without being reprogrammed, a service that dealerships charge hundreds for. Our module not only comes programmed to your specific vehicle but is also updated with the latest GM software and is backed by a solid warranty, providing a level of confidence you won’t get from a salvage yard part.
