An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
A common mistake is installing a used ECM without proper programming. The Engine Control Module is the ‘brain’ of your car, managing everything from fuel injection to transmission shifts. It’s also tied to your vehicle’s anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock). By programming this module to your specific VIN, we ensure all systems work together seamlessly, just as the factory intended. This step is the key to avoiding frustrating communication errors and no-start conditions after installation. We handle this complex process for you, so you receive a true plug-and-play solution.
Take control of your repair and get your vehicle back to factory-spec performance. This programmed 2013-2015 Captiva Sport ECM 12633555 is the smart choice for a lasting, reliable fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install the ECM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a key relearn. This process syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and keys. It typically takes about 30 minutes and does not require any special tools. We include instructions to guide you through this simple process.
How do I provide you with my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send us a message directly through the platform. We cannot program and ship your ECM until we receive your VIN.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a used, genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part that was sourced from a salvaged vehicle. We inspect and test each unit before programming it to ensure it is fully functional and reliable.
Will this definitely fix my car’s problem?
This ECM will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty engine computer. While the symptoms listed are very common for ECM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the root cause before purchasing. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or mechanical issues.
My vehicle isn’t a Captiva Sport. Will this still fit?
Yes, this ECM fits a very wide range of GM vehicles, including many Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac models from 2013-2017. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and engine option.
What kind of warranty is included?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your purchase is protected against defects.
