Is Your Silverado 1500 Sidelined? Get It Back on the Job.
Is your normally dependable Silverado running rough, showing a persistent check engine light, or experiencing strange shifting behavior? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your truck, can bring your work and daily life to a grinding halt. Don’t let frustrating electrical gremlins keep you off the road. This direct-fit ECM is the definitive, reliable solution to restore your truck’s performance and get you back behind the wheel with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your ECM is a likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent codes like P0601, P0606, or other communication-related DTCs.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.
- Erratic Shifting: Harsh or unpredictable gear changes from your automatic transmission.
- Stalling or No-Start: The engine may crank but fail to start, or it might stall unexpectedly while driving.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
In a modern truck like the Silverado 1500, the ECM manages everything from the fuel injectors and spark plugs to the transmission shift points and anti-lock brakes. It’s not a one-size-fits-all part. Your truck’s VIN contains specific information about its engine, transmission, emissions equipment, and other options. Programming this 2014-2016 Silverado 1500 ECM to your VIN ensures that it has the exact digital ‘blueprint’ for your vehicle. Skipping this step is like giving your truck the wrong instructions—it will lead to performance issues and warning lights. We handle this critical step for you, so you receive a true plug-and-play part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your 2014-2016 Silverado 1500 ECM until we receive this information.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, the module is programmed to your VIN for engine and transmission operation. However, on most GM vehicles, you will need to perform a Security Relearn procedure after installation. This syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and can typically be done without special tools in about 15-30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This ECM is a direct solution for a failed module. While it resolves the most common symptoms like no-start conditions, communication error codes (e.g., P0606), and erratic engine behavior, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed by a qualified technician first. This part will not fix issues caused by other faulty sensors or wiring problems.
How do I know if this part number is compatible?
This unit is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, including 12692067, 12676230, 12656993, and many others listed in the description. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this module will work once programmed to your VIN.
Where is the ECM located on my Silverado?
On the 2014-2016 Silverado 1500 and its sister platforms like the Sierra and Tahoe, the ECM is typically located in the front of the engine compartment on the driver’s side, often near the battery or air filter box.
