Get Your Sierra Denali Back to Peak Performance
There’s nothing more frustrating than when your powerful and sophisticated GMC Sierra Denali is sidelined by an electronic issue. A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can bring your truck to a dead stop, causing erratic behavior, poor performance, and a persistent Check Engine Light. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your work and your life. We provide the definitive, reliable solution: a genuine GM Engine Control Module, professionally programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ever leaves our facility.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Solution
If your truck is experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty engine computer is a likely culprit. This module is the solution for correcting problems such as:
- Complete no-start or intermittent starting issues
- Stalling, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration
- Noticeable drop in fuel economy
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with various communication or sensor codes
- Transmission shifting problems or other electronic module errors
- Apparent loss of engine power and throttle response
Installing our programmed 2017-2018 Sierra Denali 1500 ECM is the most effective way to resolve these issues and restore the factory-perfect operation you expect from your vehicle. We take the guesswork out of the equation by flashing the unit with the latest GM calibrations for your exact VIN.

An Expert’s Note on Pre-Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I can’t overstate the importance of pre-programming. Many sellers ship blank modules, forcing you to have the vehicle towed to a shop with expensive GM-specific tools. That adds hundreds of dollars and days of downtime to your repair. We handle that critical step for you. By programming the module to your VIN before shipping, we ensure the computer has the correct operating system and calibrations for your truck’s specific engine, transmission, and options package. This is the professional-grade approach that gets you back on the road faster.
This module is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers, including 12692068, 12704476, 12686382, 12674052, 12674472, and 12678815. It fits a wide range of premium GM vehicles from 2017-2018. If you own a high-performance GM car or a premium truck/SUV and need a reliable computer, this programmed 2017-2018 Sierra Denali 1500 ECM is the correct component to restore its function.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this information to load the latest, most correct GM software and calibrations onto the module before we ship it to you.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
Yes. Upon installation, if the vehicle does not start, you or your mechanic will need to perform a Vehicle Theft Deterrent System relearn. This synchronizes the new ECM with your vehicle’s security system. Other procedures like a crankshaft variation relearn may also be necessary. These are standard procedures for this type of repair and are the responsibility of the installer.
Is this a direct fit for my vehicle?
This ECM fits a wide range of GM models listed in the description, including the 2017-2018 Sierra Denali 1500, Escalade, Tahoe, Corvette, and more. It is a direct replacement for several part numbers. Please verify your vehicle is on the list or that your original part number matches one of the numbers provided.
What information do you need from me?
All we need is your vehicle’s complete 17-digit VIN to ensure we program the module perfectly for your truck’s specific configuration.
What if my part number isn’t listed but my vehicle is?
Part numbers can supersede over time. As long as your vehicle’s year, make, and model are on our compatibility list, this module is very likely the correct one. The VIN programming ensures it will work for your specific application.
