Caution:
• Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module
(TCM) pigtail, control module fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage. • Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle
battery. • In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board. • Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly.
The gaskets prevent contaminant intrusion into the control module. • The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement engine control module (ECM) is not programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement ECM is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last oil change.
Note: It is necessary to record the remaining automatic transaxle fluid life. If the replacement ECM is not programed with the remaining transaxle fluid life, the transaxle fluid life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement ECM is not programmed with the remaining transaxle fluid life, the transaxle fluid will need to be changed at 83 000 km (50,000 mi) from the last transaxle fluid change.
Removal Procedure
- Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil and automatic transaxle fluid life. Record the remaining engine oil and transaxle fluid life.
- Ensure that the ignition is in the OFF position.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection.
- Disconnect the engine harness electrical connector from the mass air flow/intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor.
- Disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) fresh air tube quick connect fitting from the air duct. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service.
- Disconnect the secondary air injection (AIR) pump inlet tube quick connect fitting from the air cleaner upper housing. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service.
- Loosen the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the throttle body.
- Remove the air cleaner outlet duct from the throttle body.
- Disengage the lower housing clips (1).
- Disengage the upper housing front tabs from the lower housing.
- Remove the air cleaner upper housing.
- Disengage the engine harness electrical connector lever locks at the ECM.
- Remove the engine harness electrical connectors from the ECM.
- Remove the ECM from the air cleaner lower housing.
Installation Procedure
Note: Inspect the following areas prior to installing the ECM:
• No debris in the air filter/ECM housing assembly, or the MAF/IAT sensor inlet screen that may distort the air flow. • No signs of damage to the air filter/ECM housing assembly, or the intake air duct. If a problem is found, replace the components as necessary.
- Install the ECM to the lower air cleaner housing.
- Install the engine harness electrical connectors to the ECM.
- Engage the engine harness electrical connector lever locks at the ECM.
- Install the air cleaner upper housing.
- Engage the upper housing front tabs to the lower housing.
- Engage the lower housing clips (1).
- Install the air cleaner outlet duct to the throttle body.
- Tighten the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the throttle body.
- Connect the AIR pump inlet tube quick connect fitting to the air cleaner upper housing. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service.
- Connect the PCV fresh air tube quick connect fitting to the air duct. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service.
- Connect the engine harness electrical connector to the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection.
- Program the ECM. Refer to Control Module References.
Note: Properly install the air cleaner outlet duct to the throttle body. An improperly installed, distorted, or damaged air duct may cause a DTC to set.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the clamp to 3 N·m (27 lb in).
