From the Technician’s Bench: “We had a 2016 Silverado 1500 in the shop that was a diagnostic nightmare. The owner had already replaced the throttle body and multiple sensors chasing a stalling issue. The codes were intermittent. After confirming power and grounds to the original ECM were good, we knew it was an internal fault. We ordered a pre-programmed unit like this one, installed it in under 30 minutes, and the truck ran like it just rolled off the assembly line. The customer was thrilled to have his reliable workhorse back without another week of guesswork.”
This module is the correct, reliable fix for a wide range of GM cars, trucks, and SUVs. By providing your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the programmed 2016 Camaro ECM you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean?
It means we load the module with the specific software and calibrations for your exact vehicle using your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This makes the part recognize your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options, allowing it to work correctly right out of the box without a trip to the dealer for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, unbolting it, and then reversing the process with the new unit. Some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure (often called a ‘key cycle’), which we can provide instructions for.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light?
If the Check Engine Light is caused by an internal failure of your existing ECM (common codes include P0601-P0606), then this part is the correct fix. However, it’s always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure the code isn’t being caused by a faulty sensor or wiring issue elsewhere.
How long until I receive my part?
Once you provide your VIN, programming is typically completed within one business day. The part is then shipped out to you via your chosen shipping method. We work quickly to minimize your vehicle’s downtime.
My original part number isn’t 12673195, but it’s on the list. Will this work?
Yes. Manufacturers often update part numbers over time. The list of compatible part numbers (like 12692067, 12676230, etc.) represents all the different versions that this single module replaces. As long as your vehicle model and original part number are listed, this unit will be the correct, updated replacement when programmed to your VIN.
Do I need to send my old ECM back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module.
