ECM Control Relay Monitor - P1606



ECM control relay monitor - P1606
After the vehicle ignition has been turned off, the ECM can maintain its own power source by holding on the ECM relay. The ECM turns itself off by releasing this relay. If it has done this but is still operating then there is a fault with the ECM control relay circuit and this is logged.
