Is Your 2017 Equinox Running Rough, Stalling, or Throwing Confusing Codes?
A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can turn your reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress. If you’re dealing with a persistent Check Engine Light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or a frustrating no-start condition, the brain of your vehicle’s engine is likely the culprit. Don’t let a failing computer keep you sidelined. This is the straightforward, reliable solution to restore your Equinox’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Check Engine Light: Often with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0606, or U-codes.
- Engine Performance Problems: Stalling, hesitation, misfires, or a sudden drop in power.
- Poor Fuel Economy: The engine isn’t receiving the correct data to run efficiently.
- Transmission Issues: Harsh or incorrect shifting, as the ECM communicates directly with the transmission controller.
- Vehicle Won’t Start: The ECM controls the fuel and spark systems, and a complete failure can prevent the engine from starting at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you’ll need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians then use that VIN to load the exact, most up-to-date GM software for your specific vehicle onto the ECM. We then ship the fully programmed unit to you.
Is this really a plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we handle the programming, you won’t need a high-end scan tool to initialize the module. After installation, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without any special tools. Instructions are readily available online or in service manuals.
Where do I find my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This ECM is the solution for issues directly caused by a failing engine computer. While it corrects a wide range of symptoms, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed to confirm the ECM is the root cause. This 2017 Equinox ECM 12667189 is the correct component for a diagnosed ECM failure.
What if I have a different GM vehicle listed in the description?
This ECM fits all the makes and models listed, including the Impala, Traverse, Acadia, and Terrain. The process is the same: just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we will program the module specifically for your car or SUV.
