An Expert’s Note on Programming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I can’t stress this enough: programming is not optional. Modern vehicles use sophisticated anti-theft systems (like GM’s Passlock/Pass-Key) that are tied to the vehicle’s VIN. Simply swapping a computer from another car will result in a no-start condition. Our service handles this critical step for you. We ensure the VIN, immobilizer data, and all operational parameters are a perfect match for your vehicle, saving you from a massive headache and the towing fees that come with a failed DIY attempt. This is the correct way to replace your 2014-2016 Caprice ECM 12644446.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No. We program the ECM to the specific VIN you provide before shipping. This makes the unit ready for installation as soon as you receive it. In very rare cases, a specific vehicle may require a security or crankshaft position sensor relearn, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a high-quality, tested, and fully functional used ECM that was sourced from a salvaged vehicle. This allows us to provide a reliable and affordable solution for your repair needs.
My original part number is listed, but it’s not 12644446. Will this work?
Yes. This listing covers multiple interchangeable GM part numbers, including 12653998, 12633555, and 12655007. The crucial part is that we program the module to your specific vehicle using your VIN, which ensures perfect compatibility regardless of which hardware version you receive.
What is the warranty on this ECM?

Will this computer fix my car’s problem for sure?
