Get Your Colorado Running Like New Again
Is your 2015-2016 Chevy Colorado suffering from a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or frustrating drivability issues?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This is the main benefit of our service. We program the module to the specific VIN you provide, so it is ready to be installed in your vehicle as soon as you receive it. This is a true plug-and-play solution.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. We always recommend having your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm that the ECM is the root cause of your problems before ordering.
Is this compatible with other GM vehicles besides the Colorado?
Yes. This 2015-2016 Colorado ECM 12669318 is a widely used module across the GM lineup. It is also compatible with many Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Camaro, and Cadillac models from the same era. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
What if my original part number is different?
That’s perfectly normal. GM often uses several interchangeable part numbers for the same component. As long as your vehicle model and year are listed and your original part number is on our cross-reference list, this module will be a compatible replacement once programmed to your VIN.
What is the next step after I install it?
In most cases, no further action is needed. You install the module, start the vehicle, and are ready to go. On some vehicles, an idle relearn or security relearn procedure may be required, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions can be easily found online for your specific model.
