An Expert’s Note on Programming: Over my 20 years under the hood, I’ve seen countless issues caused by improperly matched control modules. A ‘junkyard’ computer might physically fit, but without the correct VIN-specific software for your vehicle’s options (like transmission type, gear ratio, and emissions), you’re just trading one set of problems for another. Our process eliminates that guesswork. We flash this programmed GM 12602802 engine computer with your vehicle’s exact data, ensuring it communicates flawlessly with all other systems from the moment you install it. It’s the difference between a temporary patch and a lasting repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. The only thing you may need to perform is a security relearn procedure, also known as a VATS relearn, which takes about 30 minutes and can be done at home with just your key.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is critical for us to program the module correctly for your specific truck or SUV.
How do I know if this part will fit my vehicle?
Please review the detailed compatibility list on this page. The most important step is to match the service number on your current module to one of the numbers listed (e.g., 12602802). Providing your VIN for programming ensures it will work correctly once installed.
What is a security relearn procedure?
It’s a simple process that syncs this new module with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. It typically involves a sequence of turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds, and repeating this two more times. We can provide detailed instructions upon request.
Will this work if my vehicle has performance modifications?
This module is programmed with the original factory GM calibration. It is intended for vehicles with stock or near-stock configurations and is not designed to accommodate significant aftermarket performance modifications.
