Before replacing your ECM, always perform a thorough check of the basics. A weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty ground strap can cause symptoms that mimic a bad ECM. Use a multimeter to verify you have a stable 12V+ supply and solid ground connections at the ECM connector. This simple diagnostic step can save you time and money, ensuring you’re replacing the correct part.
