Electronic Control Module (Power Train) - Replace

Usage:

Before the power train electronic control module (ECM) is replaced, ensure that replacement is absolutely necessary. The power train ECM is seldom the cause of a fault. Always check that power is available to the power train ECM. Battery voltage is required from contacts 1 and 6 to contacts 2 and 5 of the machine harness connector J1 for the power train ECM.
