2006 Chevrolet Corvette Engine Control Module Parts and Q&A

• Q: What precautions should be taken during Engine Control Module service and what does it typically involve on 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The service process for engine control modules demands substitution of ecm systems or execution of eeprom programming. Before switching to a new ecm ensure the installed part matches the specific requirements correctly. The proper operation of the ecm requires you to turn off the ignition before disconnecting or reconnecting electrical power that affects the Battery Cable and ecm pigtail and ecm Fuse and jumper cables. Clear all debris from ecm connector surfaces before handling ecm module connector gaskets to install them properly in order to block intrusion. The new ecm needs to undergo programming procedures. The first step of removal requires scanning the vehicle to obtain and document engine oil life percentage because omitting this step will set oil life to default 100 percent and trigger premature oil change at 5000 km (3,000 mi). Start the replacement process by removing the wheelhouse filler panel followed by disconnecting the ecm electrical harness connectors before taking out the ecm with its bracket and vehicle. Start by positioning the ecm onto the ecm bracket followed by connector attachment and torquing to 8 n.m (70 lb in). Reinstall the wheelhouse filler panel before performing any required programming of the new ecm through the system.
