Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I install it?
No. The unit arrives fully programmed for all engine and transmission functions. On some GM vehicles, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key-cycle relearn) which takes about 10-15 minutes and requires no special tools. We include instructions for this easy process.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to the order notes or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to ensure perfect programming.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a genuine, tested OEM component that has been meticulously inspected and programmed to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory standards for performance and reliability. This guarantees a perfect fit and function for your vehicle.
Will this fix my specific problem and turn off the check engine light?
If your vehicle has been properly diagnosed with a faulty ECM, this part is the correct solution. It will resolve all diagnostic codes directly related to the internal failure of the module and allow the check engine light to be cleared.
My original part number isn’t 12669318. Will this still work?
Yes, most likely. This ECM is a compatible replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 12692067, 12676230, 12656993, and many others listed in the fitment guide. As long as your vehicle model and year are listed, this module is the correct, updated component for you.
