Engine Control Module Replacement

Caution: 

   • Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control module fuse, jump leads, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
   • Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
   • In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
   • Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the control module.
   • The replacement control module must be programmed.

Note: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.

Removal Procedure

    2028031
  1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine oil life.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
  3. Disconnect the 2 wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the engine control module (2).

    4. Caution: Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using battery jump leads or when charging the vehicles battery.

  4. Gently lift the retainer (3) at the engine control module bracket and remove the engine control module (3).

Installation Procedure

    2028031
  1. Install the engine control module (2) in the engine control module bracket.

    2. Note: The retainer (3) must be locked.

  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
  3. Disconnect the 2 wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the engine control module (2).
  4. Program the engine control module. Refer to Control Module References .
