Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck
Is your 2014-2016 Silverado, Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit behind issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, rough idling, or even a no-start condition. The ECM is the brain of your engine, controlling everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it fails, the entire vehicle’s performance and reliability are compromised. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 12663391, is the definitive solution to get your truck running like new again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Silverado 1500 come into the shop with a classic case of “parts cannon” diagnostics. The owner had replaced O2 sensors, the MAF sensor, and even the throttle body, but the truck still ran rough and threw random communication codes. After hooking up our professional scan tool, we noticed the ECM was intermittently dropping communication with other modules. Instead of another expensive guess, we identified the ECM as the root cause. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, performed the quick security relearn, and the truck immediately ran perfectly. The customer was thrilled to finally have a real solution that saved him from more wasted time and money.
Is Your ECM Failing? Common Symptoms
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM needs replacement:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various codes
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ Complete no-start or intermittent starting problems
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
- ✔ Loss of power and poor acceleration

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
Is the installation difficult?
The physical installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. After installing the new one, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key relearn), which takes about 10-15 minutes and does not require special tools. Instructions are widely available online.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield. It is also located on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb.
What makes this better than a used ECM from a junkyard?
A used ECM from another vehicle will not work in your truck because it is programmed to the original vehicle’s VIN and options. It would require specialized tools to be wiped and reprogrammed. Our modules are professionally tested, cleaned, and programmed specifically for your truck, ensuring it works correctly right out of the box.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s always recommended to have a proper diagnosis performed to ensure the ECM is the root cause and not a separate sensor or wiring problem.
