ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
YAA1F830
The Engine Control Module (ECM), located inside the right side kick panel, is the control center of the fuel injection
system. It constantly looks at the information from various sensors and controls the systems that affect the vehicle’s
performance. Engine rpm and air mass are used to measure the air intake quantity resulting in fuel injection metering.
The ECM also performs the diagnostic functions of the system. It can recognize operational problems, store failure
code(s) which identify the problem areas to aid the technician in making repairs.
There are no serviceable parts in the ECM. The calibrations are stored in the ECM in the Programmable Read Only
Memory (PROM).
The ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power the sensors or switches. This is done through resistance in the ECM
which are so high in value that a test light will not come ON when connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an
ordinary shop voltmeter will not give and accurate reading because its resistance is too low. You must use a digital
voltmeter with a 10 Mohm input impedance to get accurate voltage readings. The ECM controls output circuits such as
the ignition coils, the fuel injectors, the fuel pump relay, the intake manifold resonance flap, the camshaft actuator, the
canister purge valve, etc., by controlling the ground circuit.

Caution: The fuel system is under pressure. To
avoid fuel spillage and the risk of personal injury or
fire, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system pres -
sure before disconnecting the fuel lines.

Notice:Before removal, the fuel rail assembly may be
cleaned with a spray-type cleaner, following package in-
structions. Do not immerse the fuel rails in liquid clean-
ing solvent. Use care in removing the fuel rail assembly
to prevent damage to the electrical connectors and in-
jector spray tips. Prevent dirt and other contaminants
from entering open lines and passages. Fittings should
be capped and holes plugged during service.
Important:If an injector becomes separated from the
rail and remains in the cylinder head, replace the injector
O-ring seals and the retaining clip.
12. Remove the injectors and the fuel rail carefully.
13. Remove the fuel injector retainer clips.
14. Remove the fuel injectors by pulling them down and
out.
15. Discard the fuel injector O-rings.
16. Lubricate the new fuel injector O-rings with engine
oil. Install the new O-rings on the fuel injectors.
17. Perform a leak check of the fuel rail and fuel injec-
tors.
18. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
Removal and Installation Procedure
1. Relieve the coolant system pressure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor
connector.
Notice:Take care when handling the engine coolant
temperature sensor. Damage to the sensor will affect
the proper operation of the fuel injection system.
4. Remove the engine coolant temperature sensor
from the pump hosing.
Installation Notice

GENERAL INFORMATION
CLEANLINESS AND CARE
An automobile engine is a combination of many ma-
chined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with toler-
ances that are measured in the ten-thousandths of an
inch. When any internal engine parts are serviced, care
and cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of enigne
oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly, to
protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
Proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and
friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is con-
sidered standard shop practice even if not specifically
stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for ser-
vice, they should be kept in order. They should be
installed in the same locations, and with the same mating
surfaces, as when they were removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major
work is performed on the engine. Failure to disconnect
cables may result in damage to wire harness or other
electrical parts.
ON-ENGINE SERVICE
Caution: Disconnect the negative battery cable be -
fore removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in con-
tact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnect -
ing this cable will help prevent personal injury and
damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in
LOCK unless otherwise noted.
Notice:Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake
opening should be covered. Thiswill protect against ac-
cidental entrance of foreign material, which could follow
the intake passage into the cylinder and cause exten-
sive damage when the engine is started.
