Removal & Installation

Some ECM's use a CALPAC as well as a PROM. (Scheme 1) The CALPAC must also be removed from old ECM and installed in new one. Removal and replacement procedures for CALPAC are same as for PROM. See PROGRAMMABLE READ-ONLY MEMORY (PROM). If units are installed improperly, grounding diagnostic test lead will set Code 52.

Scheme 1

Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove ECM from vehicle. See REMOVAL under CONTROL UNIT. Using 2 fingers, push retaining clips back from MEM-CAL. At the same time, grasp it at both ends and lift out of socket. DO NOT remove MEM-CAL cover.

2. Install ECM. Reconnect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on and ground DLC terminal "B". Code 12 should be flashed at least 4 times. If Code 12 is not flashed at least 4 times, other codes are present. If Code(s) 51 or 52 are present, or if CHECK ENGINE light stays on constantly with code(s) present, MEM-CAL is not fully seated, or is defective.

1. Remove ECM from vehicle. See REMOVAL under CONTROL UNIT. Position ECM so bottom cover is facing upward. Remove slide-off PROM access cover by depressing locking tab.

NOTE: Ensure reference notches in ECM and PROM are properly aligned. If PROM is installed backwards and ignition is turned on, PROM will be destroyed.
2. Install PROM access cover on ECM. Install ECM in vehicle. See INSTALLATION under CONTROL UNIT. Start engine, and ground DLC terminal "B". Watch for trouble Code 51 or 52.
3. If this occurs, PROM is not fully seated in ECM, installed backwards, has bent pins, or is defective. If bent pins are cracked while straightening, replace PROM. If PROM is installed backwards or is defective, replace PROM.
