ECM "A"

  1. Different vehicle applications require different ECMs. Checking ECM identification code ensures vehicle is equipped with correct ECM. At the factory, ECMs are coded to identify them for correct vehicle application. ECM identification code represents vehicle application.
  2. Factory performs coding at ECM connectors "B" and "C". First 3 digits of code apply to terminals No. 14, 16 and 19 of connector "B", and fourth digit of code applies to terminal No. 9 of connector "C". If ECM grounds one of these circuits, "0" will be displayed. If ECM does not ground the circuit (leaves the circuit open), "1" will be displayed.
  3. To determine if ECM identification code is correct, check displayed ECM identification code to see if it matches vehicle application. See ECM IDENTIFICATION CODES (ECM "A") table. If displayed code does not match application, check routing of wires at ECM connector. Relocate wires in correct terminals if necessary. If wires are correctly routed, replace ECM.
