Part number
12659039
Notes
Parts reference: Historical physical Engine Control Module service part 12659039, ECU family E82, for 2016 Cadillac CTS equipped with the 3.6L LGX engine only. GM PIP5306B (April 2016), page 1 identifies this named model, year, engine and restricted ECM part number. The bulletin described a historical PQC engineering-feedback parts restriction after SI diagnostics led to ECM replacement; this process is not verified as current policy and no restriction ending or current ordering approval is established. Questionnaire items are diagnostic prompts, not additional fitment or eligibility requirements. No mandatory specific symptom or DTC gate is specified. Quantity, VIN range, body, trim, drivetrain, transmission, build, emissions and equipment allocation remain unverified. Match exact VIN, original module and current OEM replacement selection before ordering. Current ordering, supersession, availability, warranty eligibility, interchange, programming, key, cloning and repair capability remain unverified. No other engine, 2017 or other model year application is included. CTS-V, coupe, wagon, CT6-V and CT6 Plug-In remain outside this qualified scope. Hardware-label, serial and calibration identifiers are separate from this physical service part number.

12679078
Notes
Parts reference: Historical physical Engine Control Module service part 12679078, ECU family E82, for 2016 Cadillac CTS equipped with the 3.6L LGX engine only. GM PIP5306F (June 5, 2017), page 1 specifies this exact model, year and engine; the VIN-from, VIN-to and transmission columns each state ALL within that scope. The bulletin ended the historical PQC parts restriction and stated that the ECM could then be ordered through the normal parts catalog; this is not verification of current ordering, availability or VIN-specific selection. PIP5306F superseded PIP5306E to end that restriction. Unspecified successors are not an established supersession or interchange chain, and no relationship to another part number is established here. No mandatory symptom or DTC gate is specified. Quantity, body, trim, drivetrain, build, emissions and equipment allocation remain unverified. Match the exact VIN, original module and current OEM replacement selection before ordering. Current ordering, supersession, warranty eligibility, interchange, programming, key, cloning and repair capability remain unverified. No other engine or model year application is included. Hardware-label, serial and calibration identifiers are separate from this physical service part number.

Reference information for 2016. Coverage can vary by year and equipment. Confirm the VIN and full part number before ordering a replacement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Can you program Cadillac CTS (2016-2016) modules?

Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Cadillac CTS (2016-2016). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.

Which modules are documented for Cadillac CTS (2016-2016)?

The Cadillac CTS (2016-2016) generation currently shows 2 core module records across ECU/PCM groups. Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN.

Does Cadillac CTS (2016-2016) need ADAS calibration after glass or collision work?

ADAS availability varies by trim and year. Calibration need depends on equipped sensors and repair event. Procedure type is VIN-specific scan-tool procedure; verify exact requirements by VIN before setup.

Can you reset the airbag module on Cadillac CTS (2016-2016)?

Yes. SRS crash-data service is confirmed from the part number and VIN. Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Do all Cadillac CTS (2016-2016) years use the same parts?

No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2016-2016; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.

How long does service take for Cadillac CTS (2016-2016)?

Most programming, cloning, SRS, and calibration jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Labor time varies by year - verify by VIN before scheduling.
