Restore Your Vehicle’s Core Performance and Reliability
Is your Saturn Outlook, or another GM 3.6L vehicle, suddenly giving you trouble? A flickering check engine light, unexplained stalling, or a complete failure to start can be incredibly frustrating. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re often symptoms pointing directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). As the central computer of your vehicle, a faulty ECM can disrupt everything from fuel delivery and spark timing to transmission shifting. This isn’t a problem you can ignore. This listing is for a replacement ECM, part number 19300014, that arrives at your door programmed and ready to get you back on the road with confidence.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. After your purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then flash the module with the very latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures your 2010 Outlook ECM or compatible module operates exactly as the manufacturer intended, often resolving issues that even the original software had. This is the most direct and effective way to restore your engine’s proper function.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2011 Acadia that came into the shop with a maddeningly intermittent no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked the fuel pump. The diagnostic scanner would sometimes connect, and other times it wouldn’t, throwing a U0100 (Lost Communication with ECM) code. After confirming all power and ground circuits to the module were solid, we knew the ECM itself was failing internally. The heat cycles from its location behind the fan shroud had finally taken their toll. We installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one, and the vehicle fired up instantly and never had the problem again. It’s a classic failure mode for these platforms.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated with various codes
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling or rough idling
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Poor engine performance and hesitation
- ✔ Transmission shifting issues or harshness
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0100
- ✔ Internal module failure codes, like P0601 or P0606
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing your 2010 Outlook ECM is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast with basic tools. Following these steps ensures a safe and successful installation.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow all systems to power down.
- Locate the ECM: On the Outlook, Acadia, Traverse, and Enclave, the ECM is typically located behind the radiator fan shroud. On other models like the CTS or LaCrosse, check the engine compartment (often on the driver’s or passenger’s side fender area).
- Disconnect Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Never force them. Inspect the pins for any corrosion or damage.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the old ECM from its mounting bracket. Keep the hardware, as you will need it for the new module.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed ECM in place and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug the electrical connectors back into the new ECM until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Steps: Depending on your vehicle, a security relearn procedure may be required. This typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes. For Camaro and LaCrosse models, if we have cloned your original immobilizer data, it should be plug-and-play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the correct GM software for your car’s specific configuration, including engine, transmission, and emissions options. This ensures the 2010 Outlook ECM we send you is a perfect match and has the latest updates for optimal performance.
What is the special process for the Camaro and LaCrosse?
The Camaro and LaCrosse have a more complex anti-theft (immobilizer) system integrated into the ECM. To avoid a trip to the dealer for key programming, we clone the security data from your old module to the new one. This makes the new part plug-and-play once installed.
Will I need to do anything after installing it?
For most vehicles, the module is ready to go. Some models may require a simple security relearn procedure, which involves turning the ignition on for about 10-15 minutes. We include general instructions for this. No special scan tools are needed.
My original part number is not 19300014, but it’s on your list. Will this work?
Yes. Manufacturers often update part numbers over time. Our module is fully compatible with all the part numbers listed (19300015, 12617230, 12636355, 12635019), and it will be programmed specifically for your vehicle via its VIN.
What if I install it and my problem doesn’t go away?
While this ECM is a common solution for many issues, proper diagnosis is key. If problems persist, it may indicate another issue (e.g., wiring, sensors, fuel pump). We’ve seen hundreds of successful repairs with these modules, but they can’t fix a problem that exists elsewhere in the vehicle.
