Function
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) requires a 12
V power source to function correctly. The operating
power is received from the vehicle batteries through
the ECM main power relay contacts each time the
ignition switch is turned ON.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the ECM
provides an internal ground to the coil side of the
ECM main power relay. This closes the relay contacts
and provides the ECM with necessary power.
