Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In many cases, the vehicle will start and run perfectly. However, if it does not start, a vehicle anti-theft system (VATS) relearn is required. This procedure syncs the new ECM to your vehicle’s keys and security system. Other vehicle-specific relearns, like for the crankshaft position sensor, may also be necessary. This is the responsibility of the installer.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot program and ship your ECM without it.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This 2018 Cadillac XTS ECM 12692069 is the correct solution for failures of the module itself. While it resolves the most common electronic engine issues, it’s essential to have a proper diagnosis confirming the ECM is the point of failure. It will not fix issues caused by other faulty sensors or mechanical problems.
Is this a new part?
This is a quality, inspected, and tested factory component that has been programmed with the most current software from GM for your vehicle. It is guaranteed to function to OEM specifications.
What if my original part number isn’t an exact match?
This ECM is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 12704475, 12692069, 12680656, 12686383, and 12688528. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this module will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
