Is your vehicle suffering from erratic behavior, a persistent check engine light, or a no-start condition? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit, causing significant stress and uncertainty.

From the Technician’s Bench: A common mistake we see is people buying a used ECM from a salvage yard, hoping for a cheap fix. What they don’t realize is that modern GM modules are locked to the original vehicle’s VIN and security system (like VATS or Passlock). Simply swapping them will result in a no-start condition every time. Our service bridges that gap. We handle the complex security programming and software matching on our end, so when you receive the part, it’s truly ready to install. This is the same process a dealership would perform, but without the high labor costs and scheduling delays.

By ordering our pre-programmed 2012-2013 Caprice ECM 12651994, you are choosing a reliable and efficient path to getting your vehicle back to factory-spec performance. This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 12651994, 12643248, 12652814, and AA69, ensuring broad compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. We handle all the programming before the module is shipped. All you need to do is provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout. The unit will arrive ready for installation.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can add your VIN to the order notes during checkout. If you forget, we will contact you via email after your purchase to request it. We cannot ship the module until we have your VIN to program it correctly.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This ECM fits a wide variety of GM models listed in the compatibility chart. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to provide us with your VIN. This allows us to verify the exact part number and software your vehicle requires.
What is required for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to disconnect and reconnect the module. The most critical step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the work to prevent any electrical damage. In many cases, a security relearn procedure may be required after installation, which is a simple process you can do yourself in about 10-15 minutes without any special tools.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty ECM, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s essential to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the root cause of the problem before ordering.
