Is Your Work Van Sidelined? Get It Back on the Job.
For a business owner, contractor, or fleet manager, a vehicle that won’t run isn’t just an inconvenienceโit’s a loss of income. If your Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana is suffering from erratic behavior, a no-start condition, or a persistent Check Engine Light, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is the most likely culprit. This isn’t just a part; it’s the solution to getting your business moving again. We provide a reliable, pre-programmed 2010-2014 Express 1500 4.3L ECM that arrives ready for installation, saving you critical time and money.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can cause a host of frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your definitive solution:
- No-Start or Hard Starting: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or takes an excessive amount of time to fire up.
- Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, rough idling, stalling, or poor fuel economy.
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault).
- Communication Errors: Your diagnostic scan tool cannot communicate with the engine computer.
Our pre-programmed 2010-2014 Express 1500 4.3L ECM is the most efficient fix. We take your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and optimal performance, right out of the box.

Expert Insight: The True Cost of Downtime
We’ve worked with countless small business owners who depend on their vans every single day. One customer, a local plumber, had his Express 1500 suddenly refuse to start. The tow to the dealer, the diagnostic fee, and the quoted price for a new, un-programmed ECM was already over a thousand dollarsโnot to mention the two days of lost jobs. By ordering a pre-programmed module from us, he had the part in hand the next day, installed it himself in under an hour, and was back to serving his clients. The real value isn’t just in the part itself, but in the days of work and hundreds of dollars in labor you save.
Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your work schedule. This 2010-2014 Express 1500 4.3L ECM is your straightforward path to restoring the reliability you depend on. After you complete your purchase, simply provide us with your VIN, and we’ll handle the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, saving you time and the high cost of dealer programming.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you place your order, you can send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is very straightforward. The ECM is typically located in the left rear of the engine compartment on these vans. The most critical step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before removing the old unit and installing the new one. This ensures the vehicle’s systems properly recognize the new module upon startup.
My original part number isn’t 12653246. Will this still work?
Yes. This ECM is a direct replacement for multiple service numbers, including 12635043 and 12639471. As long as your vehicle is a 2010-2014 Express/Savana 1500 or a 2010-2013 Silverado/Sierra 1500 with the 4.3L V6 engine, this unit is the correct, compatible part.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a part failure within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement unit.
