Before you replace your ECM, it’s crucial to verify the health of your vehicle’s electrical system. Check that the battery is fully charged and the terminals are clean and tight. Inspect the main engine and chassis ground wires for corrosion or looseness. A poor ground or unstable voltage can often mimic the symptoms of a failed ECM, leading to a misdiagnosis.
