Restore Peak Performance to Your Cadillac
Is your Cadillac CTS, Escalade, or GM truck running rough, showing confusing error codes, or simply refusing to start?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is your car’s unique 17-digit serial number. We use it to load the exact, factory-specified software and calibrations for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options, ensuring perfect compatibility.
Do I need to do anything after installation?
Yes. Upon installation, a vehicle anti-theft system (VATS) relearn may be required. This is a standard procedure for many modern GM vehicles and is the responsibility of the installer. In some cases, other specific relearns like for the crankshaft position sensor may also be necessary to ensure optimal performance. This is why professional installation is recommended.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a genuine, quality-tested OEM module, guaranteed to meet or exceed original factory specifications. Each unit is inspected and programmed to ensure it provides reliable, long-term service for your vehicle.
How do I know if my ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified technician using professional scan tools is the best way to confirm an ECM failure. Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) pointing to a bad ECM include P0601 through P0606.
Will this fit vehicles other than the 2017 CTS?
Absolutely. This module is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers and fits a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Escalade, Sierra 1500, Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, and other performance Cadillacs. Please verify your part number or consult the compatibility list to ensure a perfect match for your specific vehicle.
