ECM Default Actions

When a malfunction occurs within the engine control system, the engine control module (ECM) maintains control of the system with default actions. Default actions are calculated values, and/or calibrated default values, that are stored within the ECM. A certain level of engine performance is possible when a malfunction occurs dependent on the default actions taken. The ECM default actions prevent a complete loss of engine performance.
