Engine Control Module Replacement
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should consist of either replacement of the ECM or programming of the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). If the diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, the replacement ECM should be checked to ensure that the correct part is being used. If the correct part is being used, remove the faulty ECM and install the new service ECM.
| 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. Before removing the engine control module (ECM), use the scan tool to capture the ECM data. This captured data will then need to be restored into the NEW ECM. Refer to Control Module References .

Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal under specific conditions to calculate errors caused by slight build tolerance variations in the crankshaft, reluctor wheel, CKP sensor, CKP sensor location, and other related components. The calculated error allows the engine control module (ECM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. The ECM stores the Crankshaft Position Reluctor Wheel Learn values after a Learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position variation is not learned in a given time DTC P0315 will set.
The Crankshaft Position Reluctor Wheel Learn feature is used to enable the ECM's quick learn of build tolerance variations. The stored values are cleared and the ECM stores the newly learned variation values after a Crankshaft Position Reluctor Wheel Learn procedure has been successfully performed.
Diagnostic Aids
- CKP Pos. Reluctor Wheel Learn - Command: ON; clears the ECM's learn variation values. Press the ON button once during a Learn procedure.
- CKP Zone 1 Variation Learn Status and CKP Zone 2 Variation Learn Status parameters display: Not Learned - until the ECM attempts to calculate the variation value for the respective RPM range. Active - when the ECM is calculating the variation value for the following engine speeds: Zone 1 - 900 to 1,449 RPM Zone 2 - 1,450 to 1,900 RPM Complete - when the ECM has successfully finished calculating the variation value for the respective RPM ranges. Fail - when the ECM has un-successfully finished calculating the variation value for the respective RPM ranges. More than 1 attempt during an ignition cycle may be needed for the ECM to successfully finish calculating the values.
- A damaged or defective CKP sensor reluctor /exciter ring may prevent the ECM from successfully completing the Crankshaft Position Reluctor Wheel Learn procedure.
- Debris between the CKP sensor and the CKP sensor reluctor /exciter ring may prevent the ECM from successfully completing the Crankshaft Position Reluctor Wheel Learn procedure.
- Monitor the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration Status parameter, it should remain Inactive when the using the scan tool CKP Pos. Reluctor Wheel Learn procedure.

Before Programming a Control Module
Note. DO NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service procedure or you are directed by a General Motors service bulletin. Programming a control module at any other time will not permanently correct a customer's concern.
Ensure the following conditions are met before programming a control module
- Vehicle system voltage There is no charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before programming a control module. Battery voltage is greater than 12 volts but less than 16 volts. The battery must be charged before programming the control module if the battery voltage is low. A battery charger is NOT connected to the vehicle's battery. Incorrect system voltage or voltage fluctuations from a battery charger, may cause programming failure or control module damage. Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a load on the vehicle's battery. Twilight sentinel Interior lights Daytime running lights (DRL)-Applying the parking brake, on most vehicles, disables the DRL system. Refer to the Owner's Manual. HVAC systems Engine cooling fans, etc.
- The ignition switch is in the proper position. The scan tool prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
- All tool connections are secure. The connection at the data link connector (DLC) Voltage supply circuits

Description
The engine control module (ECM) has the ability to learn injector timing performance. With the engine at operating temperature and in closed throttle decel mode, the ECM will pulse each injector individually and measure the changes in rotational speed of the crankshaft using the input from the crankshaft position sensor (CPS). The ECM will run this diagnostic under three different fuel rail pressures for each injector. The ECM will adjust the timing of fuel delivered by each injector to obtain the desired RPM increase. The ECM stores the injector timing value required to increase the crankshaft speed by the desired RPM. If the ECM cannot control an increase in RPM for a given injector the appropriate code will set for that injector. The Fuel Injector Correction Reset must be performed anytime a fuel injector is replaced or an ECM is replaced and the values cannot be transferred from the old ECM.
Conditions for Running the Fuel Injector Correction Reset
Ignition ON, engine OFF.
Reset Procedure
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, perform the Fuel Injector Correction Reset with a scan tool for each fuel injector that was replaced.
- Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
The control functions for the fuel injection system are integrated in the engine control module (ECM). Each injector's flow rate information and cylinder position are stored in the memory of both the glow plug control module (GPCM) and the ECM. The fuel injector flow rate programming must be done when any of the following procedures are performed
- The ECM is replaced
- The GPCM is replaced
- Any fuel injectors are replaced
If the ECM does not communicate, the flow rate information can be retrieved from the GPCM. If both control modules fail to communicate, the fuel injector flow rate information, or injection quantity adjustment (IQA) flow rate numbers, will need to be retrieved from each individual injector.
Note. DO NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service procedure or you are directed by a General Motors service bulletin. Programming a control module at any other time will not permanently correct a customers concern.
Ensure the following conditions are met before programming a control module
- Vehicle system voltage There is no charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before programming a control module. Battery voltage is between 12-16 V. The battery must be charged before programming the control module if the battery voltage is low. A battery charger is NOT connected to the vehicle battery. Incorrect system voltage or voltage fluctuations from a battery charger may cause programming failure or control module damage. Turn OFF or disable any of the following systems that may put a load on the vehicle battery: Twilight sentinel Interior lights Daytime running lights (DRL)-Applying the parking brake, on most vehicles, disables the DRL system. Refer to the Owner's Manual. HVAC systems Engine cooling fans, etc.
- The ignition switch is in the proper position-The scan tool prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
- All of the following tool connections are secure: The connection at the data link connector (DLC) The voltage supply circuits
- DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
Circuit/System Verification
Review the Display Injector Flow Identifier parameter with a scan tool. All cylinders should be programmed with a flow rate number. Both the GPCM and the ECM should be programmed with the same flow rate numbers for the corresponding cylinders.
Circuit/System Testing
Note. If the flow rate number is not available in either control module, the numbers will need to be retrieved from each individual injector.
- With a scan tool installed, enter the vehicle information and select the following options: Engine Control Module Configuration/Reset Functions Injector Flow Rate Programming
- Record all flow rate numbers with the corresponding cylinders from the control modules. NOTE: When installing a new fuel injector, ensure that the IQA data number (1) from the yellow IQA Data Tag, shipped with the new injector, is programmed to the correct cylinder. If any injectors are replaced, go to Injector Flow Rate Programming and enter the flow rate number of the new injector to the corresponding cylinder. The flow rate numbers will automatically update both control modules. If the ECM was replaced, go to Copy Injector Identifier from Glow Plug Control Module to ECM parameter and reprogram the ECM. This will update the ECM with the GPCM flow rate numbers. If the GPCM was replaced or the flow rate numbers are not the same for both modules, go to Copy Injector Flow Identifiers from ECM to Glow Plug Control Module parameter and reprogram the GPCM. This will update the GPCM with the ECM flow rate numbers. If both control modules were replaced, go to Injector Flow Rate Programming and enter the previously recorded flow rate numbers or the numbers retrieved from each individual injector, to the corresponding cylinders.
Note. The ECM and the GPCM must be allowed to completely power down after programming is complete.
- Install any components or connectors that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
- Perform any adjustment, programming or setup procedures that are required when a component or module is removed or replaced.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF, and clear the DTCs.
- Disconnect the scan tool and turn OFF the ignition for 2 minutes.
- If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in order to verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets or another DTC is present, refer to the «Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g3500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-list) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. OR If the repair was symptom related, duplicate the conditions under which the customer concern occurred to verify the repair. If the customer concern reoccurs, return to «Symptoms - Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g3500/2013-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) and perform the appropriate symptom diagnostic.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the correction values for the energizing time of each cylinder.
A correction value for the energizing time is learned for each cylinder at two different rail pressure operating points. The energizing time of the pilot injection is adapted at two calibrated rail pressure points. The Fuel Injector Timing Learn must be performed anytime an Injector Timing or Injector Exceeded Learning Limit DTC is cleared and is being revaluated.

- Operate vehicle in deceleration with no accelerator pedal input following the conditions for running the Fuel Injector Timing Learn.
- Run 20 deceleration cycles to complete the injection timing learn.
- When completed return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
A service regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is required when the scan tool DPF Accumulation Status parameter displays 30 grams or more of accumulated soot. When commanded, the engine control module (ECM) controls the service regeneration as follows
- The exhaust system is warmed up for about 8 minutes. Engine speed is slowly increased to 2,000 RPM and then to 2,500 RPM.
- Once the DPF reaches its calibrated regeneration temperature, the ECM maintains engine speed between 2,000-2,500 RPM for about 20 minutes until regeneration is complete, is cancelled by the technician, or is aborted due to abnormal conditions.
- The ECM then slowly decreases engine speed to 1600 RPM, then to 800 RPM, and finally to normal idle speed over a 5 minute period. This is done to allow the DPF to cool down.
The following conditions must be met in order to enable DPF Service Regeneration

Fuel System Priming
| IMPORTANT | In order for the DURAMAX diesel fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered the system in one of the following ways: The vehicle ran out of fuel. The filter was removed for service or replacement. The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing. The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running. If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime the system prior to operating the vehicle. |
- Prior to priming the engine, ensure that the following has been completed: There is fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel filter has been installed and properly tightened. The fuel lines are properly connected. The fuel filter is cool to the touch. Any dirt or debris has been removed from the fuel filter head and vent valve.
- Turn the ignition key on for two minutes. The fuel pump will be operating and starting the priming process. Do not start the engine during the first two minutes.
- After completing the initial prime in step 2, turn the ignition off, then back to start and crank the engine for 15 seconds.
- If the engine does not start, repeat steps 2 and 3 until the engine starts.
- If the engine does not run after repeating steps 2 and 3 three times, turn the ignition key OFF for 60 seconds, allowing the electronic control module (ECM) to reset.
- Repeat the above steps until the engine starts.
- If the engine runs, but does not run smoothly, increase the engine speed slightly by pressing the accelerator pedal. This will help to force out air through the system.
- If the engine starts and runs but stalls again, turn the ignition key OFF for 60 seconds to reset the ECM and repeat the steps above.
- Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes.
- Check the filter for leaks.

Fuel System Cleaning
Fungi and other microorganisms can survive and multiply in diesel fuel if water is present. The fungi can be present in any part of the fuel handling system. These fungi grow into long strings and will form into large globules. The growths appear slimy and are usually black, green, or brown. The fungi may grow anywhere in the fuel but are most plentiful where diesel fuel and water meet. As the fuel is agitated, when service station tanks are being filled, fungi are distributed throughout the tank and may be pumped into a vehicle.
Fungi use the fuel as their main energy supply and need only trace amounts of water and minerals. As they grow and multiply, they change fuel into water, sludge, acids, and products of metabolism. The most common symptom is fuel filter plugging; however, various metal components including the fuel sending unit, pipes, fuel injectors, and injection pump can corrode.
| WARNING | Avoid physical contact with the biocides in order to avoid personal injury. |
If fungi have caused fuel system contamination, use a diesel fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel system. Do not exceed the dosage recommended on the label. Discontinue the use of a biocide when towing a trailer. It is permissible to have biocide in the fuel when starting to tow, but do not add any biocide while towing.
Steam cleaning may be necessary if most of the fungus growth cannot be removed with biocides.
The presence of water or gasoline in diesel fuel may also cause injection pump and nozzle damage.
This procedure checks for the presence of water and gasoline in diesel fuel that may cause injection pump and nozzle damage.
Remove and inspect the fuel filter element.
- If water, gasoline or fungi/bacteria are not present, end the inspection.
- If water or fungi/bacteria are present, proceed to Cleaning Water from the Fuel System.
- If gasoline is present, proceed to Cleaning Gasoline from the Fuel System.

Cleaning Procedure
| CAUTION | The diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system is part of the emission system for this vehicle, and must be serviced while observing extreme care to prevent foreign contamination of any kind from entering this system. If extreme care is NOT taken to prevent contamination from dirt, debris, fluids other than DEF, etc., reduced performance and/or damage to the DEF system may result. Cleanliness of the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system is crucial to ensure proper operation. Before opening any part of the DEF system, ensure connections and joints are thoroughly clean and dry of any dirt, debris, or other contaminants. Use only low pressure water and low pressure air, as directed. Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) will have a tendency over time to develop areas of dried crystallization residue. Crystallization residue is a normal process for this fluid. Dried DEF crystallization residue can be wiped away, or flushed away with clean water, depending on location of the crystallization. |
- Ensure the ignition is OFF.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to «Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle»(/chevrolet/express-g3500/2013-2013/remont/hoistjack/#general-information) .
- Using only a Low pressure clean water hose, spray the upper surfaces of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Tank (1) and pump supply module, the injection hose, and the fill hose assembly, to remove all dirt and debris.
- Using only a low pressure air wand or air gun, direct air along the same surfaces to both dry and remove any further contaminants.
- Using a clean white shop towel, carefully dry connections and joints by hand to ensure dryness and cleanliness.

Turbocharger Learn
The engine control module (ECM) performs the turbocharger (TC) learn procedure automatically when the engine coolant temperature (ECT) is least 72°C (162°F). After each ignition cycle, and before the enable criteria have been met, the ECM will use the previously learned value. If the ECM does not have a previously learned value, it will default to a stored calibrated value. The ECM will use this value until the enable criteria have been met. It will then perform this procedure to learn the new value. If the ECM attempts to perform the TC Learn procedure and fails, DTC P003A, P2598 or P2599 may set.
If a TC Learn is not performed after a related turbocharger repair, the ECM will use a stored vane position value that may be invalid. The ECM may then cause a diagnostic to fail and set an invalid DTC. Certain enable criteria must be met for the ECM to perform this procedure.
The turbocharger learn procedure is required when any of the following service procedures have been performed
- Turbocharger vane position control solenoid valve replacement
- Turbocharger vane position sensor replacement
- ECM replacement
- Turbocharger replacement
- Any service that disturbs the turbocharger components
Learn Procedure With the Tech 2
Note. Once the enable conditions have been met the throttle must remain at idle. Do not change the accelerator pedal position (APP) during this procedure.
- The following conditions must be met for the ECM to perform the turbocharger learn procedure: The air conditioning (A/C) system is OFF. The vehicle is in Park or Neutral. Start and idle the engine. The ECT is greater than 40°C (104°F).
- After the enable conditions have been met and the engine idle is stabilized, enter the TC Learn Output function from the Module Setup Menu. Command the TC Learn ON for at least 5 s, then command it OFF. The system should have learned the new turbocharger position. The TC Vane Position Learn Status parameter should have toggled from In Progress to TC Learned.
