Removal Procedure
- 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.
- Use a DVOM in order to measure the main relay circuit voltage at the engine control module (ECM) fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views .
- Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
- Remove the ECM fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views .
- Remove the TCM/instument panel cluster (IPC) fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views .
- Remove the ECM/TCM fuse in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views .
- Unlock the chassis side (upper) ECM electrical connector.
- Depress the ECM electrical connector lever lock (1).
- Simultaneously rotate the ECM connector clamp lever and depress the lock slide (2).
- 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 replacing the ECM bracket, perform the following steps:
- Remove the electrical connector bracket bolt and bracket from the ECM bracket.
- Remove the ground wire bolt (1) and wire from the ECM bracket.
- Remove the wire harness retainer bolt and retainer from the side of the ECM bracket.
- Remove the ECM bracket bolts (2 and 3).
- Remove the ECM bracket (1).
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that there is no main relay circuit voltage (ECM Fuse).
NOTE:
In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the ECM, do not touch the connector pins.
