Looking for a fully-programmed plug-and-play ECM instead?

This kit is for DIYers who’ve already sourced their own replacement ECM. If you’d rather a brand new ECM supplied and programmed, ready to bolt in and drive, see our RG Colorado E98 GM ECU Programmed Replacement listing instead.

About This Service

The Engine Control Module (ECM) in your RG Colorado is the main brain for the 2.5L or 2.8L Duramax turbo diesel engine — controlling fuel injection, turbo boost, EGR, DPF regeneration and the immobiliser handshake. When the ECM is replaced (after a known fault or a swap from a wrecker), the new unit needs to be security linked to your VIN and loaded with the correct factory calibrations before the truck will start and run correctly.

All programming is done in the vehicle via OBD-II using OBDSync on a Windows laptop — no need to remove or ship the ECM.

What You Can Do With This Kit

⚙️Calibration Update — flash the latest factory ECM calibrations from GM
🔐VIN Security Link — pair a swapped-in ECM to your VIN
🔑Immobiliser Security Link — pair the ECM into the truck’s factory immobiliser handshake

How It Works — 3 Simple Steps

1

Order & Receive the Kit

Provide your VIN at checkout. We ship the OBDSync scantool with a printed 2-token redemption serial.

2

Install OBDSync & Redeem Your Serial

Download & install OBDSync (Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit). Sign in and enter your redemption serial to add the 2 tokens.

3

Plug In & Program

Plug the scantool into your Colorado’s OBD-II port, select ECM options in OBDSync, work completed in minutes.

See It in Action

The RG Colorado uses two different ECM types depending on build year. Watch the correct walkthrough for your truck below — the OBDSync procedure differs slightly between the two units.

MY13 • Bosch ECM

MY14–MY20 • E98 ECM

ⓘ Not sure which ECM you have? Check the build date on your driver-door VIN plate — trucks built in 2013 use the Bosch unit; 2014 onwards use the E98. If you can read the part number off the ECM itself, get in touch and we’ll confirm which one you’ve got.

What’s Included in Your Kit

  • OBDSync Scantool — USB-to-OBD-II adapter
  • Printed 2-Token Redemption Serial
  • OBDSync Software Access — free Windows download with lifetime updates
  • Step-by-step instructions inside OBDSync
ⓘ Please note: We do not pre-load tokens onto your account. You apply the tokens yourself by entering the supplied redemption serial inside OBDSync after install.
