Expert Technician’s Note: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I can’t stress this enough: an ECM for a modern vehicle is not an interchangeable commodity. It’s the central command center. Simply installing a used module from another car will result in a no-start condition due to the anti-theft system (immobilizer). Our VIN programming service marries this module to your specific car before it ships. This saves you hundreds of dollars in dealer programming fees and the hassle of towing your vehicle. You are getting a component that is truly ready for your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No. This module arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. The only step you may need to perform is a simple security relearn procedure, which typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes. We include simple instructions for this process.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can either add your VIN to the order notes during checkout or reply to our order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we have the VIN to program it correctly.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This programmed 2012 Camaro ECM 12616889 is the solution for failures related to the module itself. While it resolves the most common electronic engine issues, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Is this compatible with other GM models besides the Camaro?
Yes, absolutely. This ECM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles including certain years and models of the Cadillac CTS, Buick LaCrosse, Chevy Impala, Equinox, and more. Please carefully review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it matches your exact vehicle.
