Restore Your Yukon’s Brain and Get Back on the Road with Confidence

Is your 2015-2016 GMC Yukon XL 1500 giving you headaches? If you’re dealing with a persistent Check Engine Light, rough idling, stalling, or other baffling engine performance problems, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. As the central computer for your engine, when the ECM starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. I’ve seen it countless times in my 20+ years in the shop: a perfectly good engine held hostage by a faulty computer. This isn’t just an annoyance; it affects your vehicle’s reliability, fuel economy, and safety.

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We offer a genuine OEM Engine Control Module, part number 12676230, that comes professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your Yukon’s existing systems—the transmission, the anti-lock brakes, the security system, and more. By flashing it with the latest GM-certified software updates before it even ships, we eliminate the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a reliable, ready-to-install part that restores your vehicle to its factory-specified performance.

A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall Case

I once had a 2015 Sierra (which uses this same ECM family) in my bay that was a real head-scratcher. The owner complained of random stalling at stoplights, but it never threw a specific code—just a generic U0100 ‘Lost Communication with ECM’. We checked wiring, grounds, and power feeds, and everything looked perfect. On a hunch, we monitored the ECM’s internal temperature data and noticed it would cut out right as the module got heat-soaked. The internal processor was failing under thermal stress. Swapping in a quality-tested, pre-programmed ECM like this one solved the problem instantly. The customer saved hundreds compared to the dealership’s quote and was back on the road the same day.

Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These Warning Signs?

A failing ECM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:

  • ✔ Unexplained Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
  • ✔ Stalling, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration
  • ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start (no-start condition)
  • ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
  • ✔ Rough or erratic idle
  • ✔ Communication error codes, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault), or U0100 (Lost Communication With ECM/PCM)
  • ✔ Failure to pass state emissions testing

Your Straightforward ECM Installation Guide

Installing your pre-programmed 2015-2016 Yukon XL ECM is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. While we handle the complex software programming, you’ll need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation. Always consult a vehicle-specific service manual for detailed diagrams.

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the post.
  2. Locate the ECM: On most 2015-2016 GM trucks and SUVs like the Yukon XL, the ECM is located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side (LH side), near the firewall or inner fender.
  3. Disconnect the Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical wiring harness connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Inspect connectors for any corrosion or damage.
  4. Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the old ECM from its mounting bracket. There are typically a few bolts holding it in place.
  5. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed ECM onto the bracket and secure it with the bolts. Reconnect the wiring harnesses, ensuring they click securely into place.
  6. Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
  7. Perform Security Relearn: This is a crucial step. You will need to perform a “Security Relearn” or “Key Relearn” procedure. A common method is the “10-Minute Relearn,” which involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then off, and repeating two more times. This allows the new ECM to recognize your vehicle’s anti-theft system. Your vehicle will not start until this is completed.

What exactly is VIN programming?

VIN programming is the process of loading your vehicle’s unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number and its corresponding software into the ECM. This ensures the module works correctly with your specific engine, transmission, and options, and allows it to communicate with other computers in the vehicle.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic hand tools (sockets, wrenches) are all that’s needed for the physical swap. However, you must perform the security relearn procedure after installation, which does not require a tool but must be done correctly for the vehicle to start.

Will this fix my check engine light?

If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the ECM (like codes P0601 or P0606), then yes, this part is the correct fix. It’s crucial to properly diagnose the root cause of the light before ordering, as it could also be a sensor or wiring issue.

How do I provide my VIN?

After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy before sending.

Is this a brand new part?

This is a high-quality, tested OEM part that has been verified to meet or exceed original factory performance standards. This allows us to provide a reliable, cost-effective solution without the high price of a new-from-dealer part.
