1. Do not replace theengine control module (ECM) until a thorough termin al check reveals there are
no short/open circuits.
2.After the ECM detects a malfunction, a diagnostic t rouble code is recorded when the engine is next
started and the same malfunction is re-detected. Ho wever, for items marked with a the diagnostic
trouble code is recorded on the first detection of the malfunction.
