Connector 1 - C0634
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2004 Land Rover Discovery, 2003 Land Rover Discovery, 2002 Land Rover Range Rover, 2002 Land Rover Discovery, and 2001 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This connector contains 9 pins and is used primarily for ECM power input and earth. See Fig 1. The ECM requires a permanent battery supply, if this permanent feed is lost i.e. the battery discharges or is disconnected the ECM will lose its adapted values and its Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). These adapted values are a vital part of the engine management's rolling adaptive strategy. Without an adaptive strategy, driveability, performance, emission control, and fuel consumption are adversely affected. The ECM can be damaged by high voltage inputs, so care must be taken when removing and replacing the ECM.
