Get Your Workhorse Back on the Job, Fast.
A down work van isn’t an inconvenienceโit’s a halt in business. Every moment your 2010-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 is sidelined with engine problems, you’re losing time, productivity, and money. If you’re dealing with frustrating no-start conditions, erratic performance, or a persistent check engine light, the Engine Control Module (ECM) is the most likely culprit. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s the solution to restore your van’s reliability and get you back to work with confidence. We pre-program this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming and minimizing your downtime.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can cause a cascade of confusing issues. If your technician has diagnosed a faulty computer, or if you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Complete No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- Intermittent Stalling: The engine shuts off unexpectedly while driving or idling.
- Poor Fuel Economy & Performance: A noticeable drop in MPG and sluggish acceleration.
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Specifically with communication codes (like U0100) or internal processor failure codes (like P0601, P0606).
- Communication Issues: Your scan tool cannot communicate with the engine computer.
This professionally programmed 2010-2014 Express 1500 ECM is the reliable, plug-and-play solution designed to resolve these problems and restore your vehicle’s factory performance.

An Expert’s Note on Proper Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle issues caused by improperly programmed modules. In a modern work van like the Express 1500, the ECM is the brain of the entire operation. It doesn’t just manage the engine; it communicates with the transmission, ABS, body control module, and more. Our VIN-specific programming ensures all these systems handshake correctly from the moment you turn the key. This isn’t just about getting the engine to startโit’s about ensuring the entire vehicle operates as a cohesive, reliable system, just as the engineers intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
Is this a simple installation?
Yes, for someone with basic mechanical skills. The ECM is typically located in the left rear of the engine compartment. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. Since it’s pre-programmed, no special tools are needed after installation. We always recommend disconnecting the battery for at least 15 minutes before starting.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module will resolve any check engine light caused by an internal failure of the ECM itself (such as codes P0601 or P0606). However, if the light is on due to a separate issue (like a bad oxygen sensor or catalytic converter), that problem will still need to be addressed.
What other vehicles does this 2010-2014 Express 1500 ECM fit?
This module is also a direct fit for the 2010-2014 GMC Savana 1500, 2010-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and 2010-2013 GMC Sierra 1500, provided they are equipped with the 4.3L V6 engine.
Do I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
In some cases, a security or anti-theft relearn procedure may be necessary. This is a simple process that can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
