Removal and Replacement
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
- When the ECM is replaced, do not replace the immobilizer ECU (WCM) or KOS-ECU simultaneously. When multiple ECUs are to be replaced, always replace only one ECU at a time and complete necessary ID registration using scan tool MB991958 (Refer to Troubleshooting - ID Code Registration Necessity Judgment Table) [Vehicle with KOS installed] (Refer to Troubleshooting - ID Code Registration Necessity Judgment Table) [Vehicle with WCM installed].
- After the ECM replacement, idling speed may be unstable because the MFI engine learning is not completed. To make it stable, let the system learn the idling (Refer to Precautions before Service - Learning Procedure for Idling in MFI Engine).
- After the ECM replacement, register a key code using scan tool MB991958 [Refer to Precautions before Service - How to Perform Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Writing].
- When the ECM is replaced, save the vehicle identification number and perform the variant coding.
