2007 Cadillac CTS 3.6L used ECM replacement and programming

Try a Remanufactured one or send the original one to any place to refurbish it. I dealing with the same issue like a year ago and used Modules are not welcome for this Car, I try everything with Drew Tech and was a waste of time and money.

I never seem to have any luck programming used pcm on the these cars. I always get a new one. I

True Story

Your used ecm is junk. These are known for having network issues. You have no issues with used modules on this year. If you do get another used one scan it first if it comms with your scan tool it will program fine. After your program with sps you will need to relearn antitheft. You can also do that with sps.

It is normal for the key to be stuck in the ignition when the engine control module is not communicating on these vehicles. These modules are garbage. They typically will fail in that manner where you can talk to it but every other module has U codes. If you have all powers, grounds, can, and wakeup circuits functioning then you need to try another module. I have seen gm reman units fail within…

Most used ones are junk from my experience u can installed used in this car have done quite a few I would suggest buying a new one from dealer they are very inexpensive I believe about 200 dollars and u will save a lot of time and get the car out quickly

Do not roll the dice with a used module. I went thru this last week with a used car dealer. Brought me 2 used pcms. Neither one was any good. Ended up getting one from Cadillac in the end. Total waste of time. As others mentioned the failure rate is very high on these and difficult to get a good used one in my experience.

The best way I find to install a used PCM is to take the BCM offline. program PCM with correct vin number and then bring the BCM back online .program security for both BCM and PCM and it works for me. The BCM is the interpreter module that controls high and low speed communications. It will disable communication if it sees a different Vin number or go into protection mode. The BCM the only…

In this specific PCM are a lots of common problems, like Key sticks in, no crank, no start, is a huge possibility that the one from the Junkyard have the same issue also and for the price of a new or rebuild one, don't worth take the chance.

Probably a bad used PCM. Go New or remanufactured

Used ecm is bad. I have used a few of them most recently do to gm strike i could not get a new oem unit. If at all possible i would get a new one from gm. They normally have them in stock in my location.

make sure you have a good ground by the ECU if you loose ground the ECU get fried when you turn the key

I have done used ones of these,however just getting a used one that communicates, and has a SES and lets the key turn off, or is not bad is the 1st challenge. 2nd challenge is programming these used computers and that is 2 parts in itself. First getting the used module to even start programming, then getting the security to learn. All this said believe it or not a few years ago there was a…

As you have heard, these PCM's have a high failure rate. I would get a reman next. Or perhaps send out the old one for repair. But I think the reman option would be quicker.
