Is Your GMC Canyon Running Rough? Get It Back in Top Form.
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t cooperate. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, poor engine performance, stalling, or even a no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module is often the culprit. Your 2015-2016 GMC Canyon is a capable, reliable machine, but its brain—the ECM—is a complex component that can wear out over time. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it affects your truck’s power, fuel economy, and dependability. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. We have the precise, reliable solution you need.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can cause a wide range of confusing issues. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (like U0100) or internal processor fault codes (like P0606).
- Engine Stalling or Misfiring for no apparent reason.
- No-Start Condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- Poor Fuel Economy and a noticeable loss of power.
- Erratic Transmission Shifting or other module communication problems.

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless issues arise from installing a generic, un-programmed ECM. Modern vehicles like your Canyon have complex anti-theft systems (Pass-Key/Passlock) and communication networks. Simply swapping a module from another truck will, at best, result in a no-start condition. At worst, it can cause persistent communication errors and drivability problems that are a nightmare to diagnose. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical step that pairs this ECM specifically to your truck’s electronic DNA, ensuring all systems work together seamlessly from the moment you turn the key.

How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will use this to load the correct software and key data onto the module before shipping it to you.
Is this the correct ECM for my truck?
This module is a direct replacement for part number 12673195 and several other compatible part numbers listed in the description. Please check the comprehensive fitment list to confirm it matches your specific year, make, and model.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM, then yes, this part is the correct fix. It is crucial to have the codes diagnosed properly to ensure the ECM is the source of the problem and not a faulty sensor or wiring issue.
What is required for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to disconnect the battery and unbolt the old ECM. The most important step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the job to prevent any electrical damage. The module is usually located in the engine bay for easy access.
