Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Frustrating Engine Problems?
A persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or a complete no-start condition can bring your work or daily life to a grinding halt.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is required for the programming process.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
In most cases, no additional programming is needed. This is designed to be a plug-and-play solution. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions can often be found online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
How can I be sure this part number fits my vehicle?
Please check the comprehensive fitment list on this page. This Programmed 12668866 Engine Control Module replaces several part numbers, including 12668994, 12643636, and others listed. Matching your original part number or confirming your vehicle’s make, model, and year against our list is the best way to ensure compatibility.
What is an ECM and what does it do?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls critical functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions systems to ensure the engine runs efficiently and reliably. When it fails, it can cause a wide variety of performance issues.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers the part itself for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If the module fails due to an internal defect within that time, we will provide a replacement unit. It does not cover labor costs or issues caused by other vehicle faults.
