Security link a replacement Engine Control Module to your VIN and push the latest GM calibration updates. DIY kit ships with an OBDSync scantool and a 2-token redemption serial — programmed in your driveway over OBD-II.
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.
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.
Provide your VIN at checkout. We ship the OBDSync scantool with a printed 2-token redemption serial.
Download & install OBDSync (Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit). Sign in and enter your redemption serial to add the 2 tokens.
Plug the scantool into your Colorado’s OBD-II port, select ECM options in OBDSync, work completed in minutes.
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.
Works on all Holden RG Colorado utes (2012–2020):
OBDSync runs on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit only). A laptop is recommended so you can sit in the truck with the scantool plugged in.
VIN required at checkout. Scantool and printed redemption serial dispatched once the order is processed.
DIY kit only — pair in a replacement ECM and push the latest calibrations from your driveway.
