Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, or other GM vehicle suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition?

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s the definitive, pre-programmed solution to get your dependable daily driver back on the road with confidence and without an expensive trip to the dealership.

Expert Insight: The Dealership Alternative
We recently helped a customer with a 2014 GMC Terrain whose vehicle would intermittently stall at red lights. The dealership quoted them over $1,200 for a new ECM and the required programming. They were frustrated and felt stuck. By ordering this pre-programmed 2013-2016 Equinox ECM, they were able to have their local mechanic install it in under an hour. The total cost was less than half the dealer’s quote, and the stalling issue was completely resolved. This is the smart, efficient way to handle a complex electronic repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process after I place my order?
It’s simple! After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive it. Once we have your VIN, our technicians will program the ECM with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle’s configuration. It then gets packaged and shipped directly to you.
Is this ECM really ‘plug and play’?
Yes, for the most part. The critical engine and transmission programming is completed by us before shipping, so you will not need a dealer’s scan tool for that. However, on many GM vehicles, you may need to perform a simple ‘Security Relearn’ or ‘Key Relearn’ procedure after installation. This can typically be done yourself in about 15-30 minutes and does not require special tools.
Why should I buy a used ECM?
Choosing a tested, used OEM ECM provides two major benefits: cost and quality. You receive a genuine factory part, designed specifically for your vehicle, at a significantly lower price than a new unit. Every module we sell is inspected to ensure it’s a reliable component ready for service.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found in several places: on a metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
This programmed 2013-2016 Equinox ECM is the correct solution for a confirmed faulty module. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not solve issues caused by other failing components like sensors, wiring harnesses, or mechanical problems. We always recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified technician.
