2007 Chevrolet Corvette Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What does Engine Control Module service typically involve, and what precautions should be taken during Engine Control Module replacement or EEPROM programming on 2007 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The service of Engine Control Module (ECM) requires either the installation of new ecm components or the execution of eeprom programming operations. You need to check for the correct part before exchanging the ecm. A proper approach to protect the internal structure of an ecm requires turning off the ignition before disconnecting or reconnecting power to all ecm components including battery cables and ecm pigtail and ecm Fuse and jumper cables. The diagnostic process requires cleaning all ecm connector surfaces of debris before putting in properly installed gaskets to stop outside objects from getting inside. Programming becomes necessary for the new ecm before implementation. Engine oil maintenance will require immediate attention when the replacement module lacks information about remaining life because programming omissions will automatically reset the life expectancy to 100% leading to a required change at 5,000 km (3,000 mi). A tool for scanning the vehicle will obtain and document the current condition of engine oil reserve percentage. Begin by opening the wheelhouse filler panel followed by connector disconnect of the ecm electrical harness then back up the ecm rear retaining fastener by releasing it before using the unremoved fastener as an anchor point for the outer bracket. The first step includes removing the front retainment from the ecm followed by repositioning the ecm outer bracket. Then disconnect the ecm from its bracket and vehicle. Install the ecm by installing it on the ecm rear bracket followed by the ecm front bracket then fasten the front retaining elements at 2 n.m (17 lb in). Reinstall the wheelhouse filler panel after you connect electrical connectors to the ecm by tightening them to 8 n.m (70 lb in). A new installed ecm requires proper programming before use.
