Voltage Signal: Description and Operation

BATTERY VOLTAGE - ECM INPUT
The battery voltage input provides power to the Engine Control Module (ECM). It also informs the ECM what voltage level is being supplied by the generator once the vehicle is running.

The battery input also provides the voltage that is needed to keep the ECM memory alive. The memory stores Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) messages.
