What happens if I lose power at both pins?
If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67.
What happens when I lose power on my ECM?
If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67. Again this wire usually leaves the battery box as a single wire splitting into two at the ECM.
What happens when you lose all electrical power?
All fine been driving as usual all of last week until today – came back to car, unlocked fine, all power fine and then electrics go completely dead just as I’m turning key to start engine. Thought I was scuppered this time, but then suddenly, again about 5 minutes later, all power came back and I was able to start engine and drive home fine.
What happens when your car loses all power?

All fine been driving as usual all of last week until today – came back to car, unlocked fine, all power fine and then electrics go completely dead just as I’m turning key to start engine.
How to diagnose power loss in an ECM?
It helps to further diagnose power problems. Most ECMs have more than one power wire. You may just have to run the engine and then grab and start shaking the wire harnesses to the ECM to see if you can induce the problem and find the problem area.
If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67.
Can a stalling engine be intermittent driveability?
Intermittent driveability problems of any kind are always a challenge to diagnose. When a customer brings you a vehicle and complains of a stalling problem, you may not have much to go on other than their description of what’s happening and when it happens.
How does the PCM control the idle speed?
The PCM monitors idle speed and operates a solenoid or small electric motor to move a valve that regulates airflow through the air bypass circuit. If the ISC valve is gummed up with fuel varnish or dirt, it may stick, preventing the engine from maintaining the proper idle speed when the throttle closes.
How to test a no power ignition switch?
A $10 test light from an auto parts store is what you need. Hook it to the negative post on the battery and turn on the key- your small wire to the solenoid should have power- touch the tip of the test light to the terminal and it should light up.
What to do if your power button is not working?
If you case has a reset button, you can connect that to the power button pins on the board and at least you will have a way to start the system. Wait so I can insert the reset connecter into the pins for the on/off switch so it will act like the on/off switch?
When does the ignition switch need to be off?
The other large lug should ONLY have power when the small signal wire from the ignition switch has 12 VDC positive. If both large lugs have power all the time, even if you have the key off and remove the small signal wire, the solenoid is bad. 2.
