An Expert’s Note on Programming
In my 20+ years of diagnostics, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners waste time and money on modules that weren’t programmed correctly. On a modern vehicle like your GMC, the ECM is the central hub that communicates with dozens of other modules. Simply installing a blank or used computer won’t work—the vehicle’s security system will prevent it from starting. Our critical pre-programming service using your VIN ensures that the 2017 Yukon XL 1500 ECM is ready to integrate with your specific vehicle, saving you a trip to the dealership and significant programming expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We use this to load the correct, updated software for your specific Yukon XL.
What is a ‘theft relearn’ and will I need to do it?
A theft relearn procedure syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. In many cases, this step is required for the vehicle to start after installation. This must be performed by the installer using a professional GM diagnostic tool, such as Tis2web or Techline Connect. It is the buyer’s responsibility to have this procedure completed.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any and all issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. It is essential to have a proper diagnosis from a qualified technician to confirm that the ECM is the point of failure before ordering. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or mechanical components.
