The -E-ngine -C-ontrol -M-odule, or ECM recorded the vehicle mileage along with the odometer. The EMC mileage can be read by a scan tool at most dealerships or repair shops with the proper equipment. It is possible for the two mileages to differ slightly, but a large variance may indicate a faulty odometer, or possibly odometer tampering.
ECM mileage is based on the number of transmission output shaft rotations, and is calculated along with the programmed rear end gear ratio, transmission gear ratios, and revolutions per mile for the programmed tire size. Actual mileage will vary according to tire wear... as your tires wear down, the actual mileage you travel will decrease.
Unless it's an all-out racing chip, which I doubt, I would think your driving habits would affect gas mileage much more than just changing the ECM chip.
On a fax report, ECM stands for "Error Correction Mode."
Google Jet-Chip that is all I have found so far.
The sensor is bad. A properly-functioning knock sensor allows the ECM to advance timing until it senses a knock. It then retards timing until the knock just barely goes away allowing for optimal gas mileage.
Engine Control Module.
re-programming the ECM (Engine Control Module)
Since the ecm (engine control module) is necessary to run a modern car, the simple answer is: Yes. Not having the year, make or model, exactly what the ecm controls in this instance is unknown. But regardless, the vehicle will not operate without it. Also, removing the fuse and therefore removing power from the ECM may cause all the learned engine parameters revert to their initial state and your engine may not run as well or get as good mileage until the ECM relearns new parameters.
No CCD/bus messages received form ECM.
P1017= Ecm internal fault.
Acronym finder has hundreds of "ECM" meanings. If you mean the Engine Control Module then I say Whynot? It couldn't hurt!
P1694 - No CCD message received from ECM. This is a bus communication failure between the PCM and ECMP1694 - No CCD message received from ECM. This is a bus communication failure between the PCM and ECM
