Prior to the replacement of the ECU, ensure that replacement is necessary. The ECU is seldom the cause of a failure. Always check that power is available to all of the contacts of the ECU that are marked with "+ Battery".Note: Corrupted configuration software or the wrong software may cause an ECU to incorrectly report diagnostic trouble codes. Prior to replacing the ECU, flash the ECU with the correct configuration software in order to verify that the failure is not related to corrupted software.
