Get Your Hard-Working Truck Back on the Job
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t run right.

Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing issues like poor fuel economy, engine stalling, hesitation under acceleration, or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault) or U0100 (Lost Communication With ECM/PCM), the module itself is a likely culprit.

From the Technician’s Bench: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
In the old days, you could often swap computers between similar trucks. Those days are long gone. On a modern vehicle like your Sierra, the ECM is the central brain that communicates with the transmission controller, anti-lock brake system, body control module, and even the instrument cluster. Our VIN-specific programming ensures all these digital ‘handshakes’ happen correctly. We’re not just loading generic software; we’re tailoring it to the exact configuration your truck left the factory with. This is the only way to guarantee every system works as intended, from the transmission shift points to the fuel gauge reading. Don’t settle for a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution when it comes to your truck’s brain.
Take the guesswork out of your repair. This programmed 2012-2016 Sierra 2500 ECM 12668991 is the most efficient and reliable way to solve your truck’s electronic woes and restore the dependable performance you rely on every single day. Simply provide your VIN at checkout and let our experts handle the critical programming for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We need this to program the ECM specifically for your truck before we can ship it. This step is mandatory for the part to function correctly.
Is this ECM ready to install when it arrives?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN, it is a plug-and-play module. Once installed, your vehicle may require a security or key relearn procedure, which is a standard step for this type of repair and can be performed by a qualified mechanic.
How can I be sure this will fix my truck’s problem?
This module will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. It’s crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed by a professional. If your problem is due to a bad sensor, wiring issue, or another component, replacing the ECM will not fix it.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal tag on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Does this part fit models other than the Sierra 2500?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles. Please carefully review the detailed fitment list on this page and match your original part number to ensure it is the correct component for your specific make, model, and year.
