Engine Control Module (ECM)

ECM consists of a microcomputer, inspection light (Red LED), diagnostic test mode selector, connectors and wiring for voltage signal input, voltage signal output and power supply. See ECM LOCATION table. Unit is not serviceable and should not be opened. Inspection light (Red LED) is provided on side of unit so system operation can be checked. ECM contains memory and logic circuits, which enable it to interpret sensor inputs and control various engine systems.

Continuous fused battery power is provided to ECM terminal No. 46 (White wire, G20) or terminal No. 58 (Yellow wire, J30 and White/Red wire, Q45). Battery power to drive ECM internal components is provided through ECCS relay, which is energized by ECM when ignition switch is turned to ON position.
