Get Your Truck Back to Peak Condition
Is your Sierra, Silverado, or other GM vehicle suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can cause a cascade of issues, from a persistent check engine light to a vehicle that won’t start at all. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and reliability. This professionally programmed ECM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s brain and get you back on the road with confidence.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a veteran technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle issues caused by improperly matched control modules. On modern GM trucks, the ECM doesn’t just run the engine; it’s in constant communication with the Transmission Control Module (TCM), Body Control Module (BCM), and anti-theft system. Installing a generic, non-programmed 2014-2016 Sierra 1500 ECM will, at best, result in a no-start condition. At worst, it can create a host of phantom electrical problems that are a nightmare to diagnose. Our VIN-specific programming ensures every parameter—from injector flow rates to transmission shift points—is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s factory build, making the installation process smooth and the result reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Variation (CASE) relearn, which requires a capable scan tool. We recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle’s procedure.
How do I provide 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 reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is this the correct ECM for my vehicle?
This module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles and replaces numerous part numbers. Please carefully review the compatibility list on this page. The best way to ensure a match is to compare the part number on your original ECM to the numbers listed in our description.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM (e.g., codes like P0601 or P0606), then this part is the correct solution. However, if the light is on for another reason, such as a faulty sensor, you must diagnose and repair that issue separately. This 2014-2016 Sierra 1500 ECM will only fix problems directly related to the computer itself.
What happens if I don’t provide a VIN?
The programming process is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. We cannot ship an unprogrammed module. Your order will be placed on hold until we receive the correct VIN for the target vehicle.
