Confirm Your Service Number First

🔍
Match the “Serv #” on the back of your existing ECU

The service number is printed on a label on the back of the ECU after “Serv #”. Our replacement covers all of the following RG Colorado E98 service numbers:

Supported service numbers: 55591599 • 55487860 • 12721349
⚠️
The part number / service number on the unit you receive may differ

The part number / service number on the unit we ship will likely differ from the one on your original ECU. We always supply the newest part number available for your vehicle — GM regularly supersedes part numbers, but the newer revision is backwards-compatible with all earlier supported service numbers listed above. The ECU you receive is fully suitable as a replacement regardless of the printed number on the label.

Is Your Original ECU Faulty? Common Symptoms

These are the most common symptoms we see from a failed RG Colorado E98 ECU. If your truck is doing one or more of these, the ECU is a strong suspect:

No start condition
No start with clicking throttle body & relays
Injector or coil issues
Loss of communication to the engine computer with a scantool
P0606 — ECU processor fault
P062B — ECU internal performance malfunction
P00C9 — Fuel pressure regulator positive circuit malfunction
P0091 — Fuel pressure regulator control circuit malfunction
U0140 — Lost communication with BCM
U0155 — Lost communication with instrument cluster

Programming Options — Pick One at Checkout

Every replacement ECU ships pre-programmed with your VIN and matching factory OS & calibrations. The Programming Option you choose at checkout determines how the security link gets done so the truck will actually start:

Recommended
Option 1

I’ll Program It Myself with OBDSync

We ship an OBDSync scantool and a 2-token redemption serial together with the new ECU. Plug into your Colorado’s OBD-II port from a Windows laptop and security link the ECU and run all sensor relearns yourself, in minutes — no dealership, no shipping back and forth.

Easiest, fastest, no downtime.

Option 2

Ship In My Original ECM for a Clone

Send your original ECM in with the order and we’ll copy the security data and calibrations across to the replacement — the new ECU arrives back to you fully plug-and-play, no dealership visit or in-car programming needed.

Best when your original ECM is still readable.

Not Recommended
Option 3

Local Mechanic / Auto Electrician

Take the replacement ECU to a local professional mechanic or auto electrician with compatible scantool tooling and have them perform the security link procedure on the truck.

Outcome depends on the workshop’s tooling & experience — we can’t guarantee they’ll be able to complete the procedure.

⚙️ Post-fit relearns: If you choose Option 2 (ship-in clone) the unit comes back 100% plug-and-play, no relearns required. If you choose Option 1 (OBDSync) or Option 3 (Local mechanic), you must also perform Crankshaft Position Variation and Clutch Pedal Position (manuals only) relearns after fitting — these can be done in your OBDSync kit or with any compatible scantool.
