2010 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 2010 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The service of engine control modules (ECMs) entails either substituting new modules or programming the electronic serial programmable memories (EEPROMS). A proper verification of the correct ecm part must occur before replacing it. The correct method to protect ecm internal parts from damage requires turning the ignition off before disconnecting or reconnecting power through battery cables and ecm pigtail and ecm Fuse and jumper cables. The diagnostic process for ecm replacement requires checking both the ecm connector surfaces for debris and making sure gaskets fit correctly to block external intrusion. A new ecm requires programming before its installation process. Before the procedure start, check the present engine oil life percentage through a diagnostic tool. Begin by removing the wheelhouse filler panel after which you need to disconnect the ecm bolts before allowing the ecm to hang from the engine wiring harness. Detach the engine wiring harness electrical connectors which supply power to the ecm before you remove the ecm unit. After position the ecm you must connect the engine wiring harness electrical connectors to the ecm then fasten it into the bracket. Fasten the ecm bolts while tightening them to 10 nm (89 lb in). Reinstall the wheelhouse filler panel. Install proper programming to the new ecm when changing to a new electronic control module.
