Engine Control Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Saturn Ion 3 and 2006 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine control module (ECM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. The ECM determines the drivers intent and then calculates the appropriate throttle response. The ECM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the TAC motor.
