Removal Procedure
Notice: Always turn the ignition off when installing or removing the ECM connectors
in order to prevent damage to the components.
Important: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module is not programmed
with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
Important: It is necessary to record the remaining automatic transmission fluid life. If the replacement module is not programed with the remaining automatic transmission fluid life, the automatic transmission fluid life will default
to 100%. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining automatic transmission fluid life, the automatic transmission fluid will need to be changed at 83000 km (50,000 mi) from the last automatic transmission fluid change.
- Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil and the remaining automatic transmission fluid life. Record the remaining engine oil and the remaining automatic transmission fluid life.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
Important: Ensure that there is no main relay circuit voltage (ECM Fuse).
- Use a DVOM in order to measure the main relay circuit voltage at the ECM fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views
in Wiring Systems.
- Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection
in Engine Electrical.
- Remove the ECM fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views
in Wiring Systems.
- Remove the TCM/IPC fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views
in Wiring Systems.
- Remove the ECM/TCM fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views
in Wiring Systems.
- Unlock the chassis side (upper) ECM electrical connector.
8.1. | Depress the ECM electrical connector lever lock (1). |
8.2. | Simultaneously rotate the ECM connector clamp lever and depress the lock slide (2). |
Notice: In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the
ECM, do not touch the connector pins.
- Remove the body side (upper) ECM connector.
- Unlock and remove the engine side (lower) ECM connector.
- Remove the ECM redundant ground wire and bolt (2) from the ECM.
- Remove the ECM bolts.
- Remove the ECM.
- If you are replacing the ECM bracket, perform the following steps:
- Remove the electrical connector bracket and bolt from the ECM bracket.
- Remove the ground wire and bolt from
the ECM bracket.
- Remove the wire harness retainer and bolt from the side of the ECM bracket.
- Remove the ECM bracket bolts (2 and 3).
- Remove the ECM bracket (1).
Installation Procedure

Electrical Center Identification Views
in Wiring Systems.
- Connect the battery negative cable to the battery. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection
in Engine Electrical.
- Program the ECM. Refer to
Service Programming System (SPS)
in Programming.
- If you encounter an ECM programming error, with a display message of "Starting Disabled, Remove Key" on the driver information center, with a diagnostic test code (DTC) of P1631, perform the "10-Minute Relearn Procedure"
found in Programming Theft Deterrent System Components. Refer to
Programming Theft Deterrent System Components
. Additional information can be found in service bulletin number 05524 A.
- Turn OFF the ignition for at least 5 seconds after the programming event is complete.
- Perform the idle learn procedure. Refer to
Idle Learn
.
- Use the scan tool to clear all DTCs.
