Is your Chevy Tahoe, Silverado, or other GM vehicle suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor idling, stalling, or a complete no-start condition?

This genuine GM ECM, professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get you back on the road with confidence and reliability.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can be difficult to diagnose, but it often reveals itself through a specific set of symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is a likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Often with codes like P0601, P0606, or other internal processor errors.
- No-Start or Hard-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to fire up.
- Poor Performance & Fuel Economy: Unexplained drops in power, hesitation during acceleration, and a noticeable increase in fuel consumption.
- Erratic Shifting or Transmission Issues: The ECM plays a key role in communicating with the transmission control module.
- Communication Errors: Your mechanic’s scan tool may be unable to communicate with the ECM.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
In modern vehicles, the ECM is more than just a part—it’s the nerve center. It’s tied to your vehicle’s security system (immobilizer), transmission, ABS, and even the instrument cluster. Simply swapping a used module from another vehicle will almost always result in a no-start condition or a host of new error codes. Our VIN programming service isn’t a convenience; it’s a necessity. We ensure the digital ‘handshake’ between your new ECM and the rest of your vehicle is perfect, saving you from the complex and expensive troubleshooting that comes with an improperly matched computer.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable truck or SUV parked. This professionally programmed 2015-2016 Tahoe ECM is the most dependable way to solve complex electronic issues and restore the performance you count on every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this ECM?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to the VIN you provide. In most cases, you will only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which typically involves cycling the key in the ignition and can be done in your driveway without any special tools.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your 17-digit VIN to the ‘notes’ section of your order. If you forget, we will contact you via email to request it before we program and ship the module.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a genuine, road-tested OEM part that has been meticulously inspected and programmed with the newest, clean software from GM. This ensures OEM-level reliability and performance.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If your vehicle’s issues and diagnostic codes point to a failed ECM, this part is the correct solution. However, we always recommend having a proper diagnosis performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure the ECM is the root cause of the problem before ordering.
What is the security relearn procedure?
For most GM vehicles of this era, the security relearn is simple. After installing the ECM, turn the key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting) for 10-15 minutes, then turn it ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds. Repeat this process two more times. On the third cycle, the vehicle should start and run normally.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Tahoe?
Yes, absolutely. This ECM is compatible with a wide range of GM models, including the Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, and more. Please refer to the detailed compatibility list on this page and match one of the listed part numbers to your original unit.
