DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Work Procedure
- SAVE ECM DATA
With CONSULT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Select "SAVING DATA FOR REPLC CPU" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
- Follow the instruction of CONSULT display.
NOTE:Necessary data in ECM is copied and saved to CONSULT.
GO TO STEP 2 .
- CHECK ECM PART NUMBER
Check ECM part number to see whether it is blank ECM or not.
NOTE:- Part number of blank ECM is 23703 - *****.
- Check the part number when ordering ECM or with the one included in the label on the container box.
Is the ECM a blank ECM?
YES
GO TO STEP 3 .
NO
GO TO STEP 5 .
- SAVE ECM PART NUMBER
Read out the part number from the old ECM and save the number, following the programming instructions. Refer to "CONSULT Operation Manual".
NOTE:- The ECM part number is saved in CONSULT.
- Even when ECM part number is not saved in CONSULT, GO TO STEP 4 .
GO TO STEP 4 .
