GM/AC Delco 2011 Camaro SS Engine Control Computer (#12633238) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

MichaelM · 10-14-2013, 04:15 PM

This GM/AC Delco Engine Control Computer Module (part # 12633238) was taken out of my 2011 Camaro SS with only 5K miles on it. It is programed with GM software and a 2011 Camaro SS stock tune. When I modified my car with performance parts and a custom tune, I took the stock module out and purchased a new computer that holds my custom tune. However, I recently sold my Camaro and no longer need this backup computer module.

Did you do this to get around potentially voiding your powertrain warranty?

Yes, that was my main reason

dgreenberg · 10-15-2013, 07:41 PM

Any chance it will work with a 2013? I was going to tune my car soon

You do know that there is a log file that shows if the ECM was flashed, correct?

MichaelM · 10-16-2013, 09:37 AM

This should work with all 5th gen camaro ss.

Yes that's why I want another ECM so my original one won't have a log of it being reflashed. Lol

Won't work. Look into it a little more. I know there are several threads on here regarding swapping ECM's and it's a no-go.

MichaelM · 10-17-2013, 08:57 AM

I can tell you that it does work, I've done it. Anyone interested in how, please pm me.

Well it would if you took out the ECM the car came with, and put it aside. Never flashed.

Then put in the 2011 ECM and flash it with whatever you want.

If any warranty issues were to arise pull out the ECM and put back in the original.

yes that would work. I was thinking the other way around that you would flash the one you have then place the one the OP is selling into your car when you blew the engine and took it to the dealer.

My mistake this makes more since now.

MichaelM · 10-18-2013, 08:24 AM

Correct ... that is the way to do. Your cars orginal ecm becomes your backup. You flash your new tune in the new ecm module.

You dont have to worry about the car not starting or anti-theft problems when doing this though?
