You replace the ignition cylinder and then turn the ignition (with key) to on position. All dash lights will light up in the on position. After a few seconds only the security light will flash. Leave the ignition on for 10 minutes while the security light flashes. At the end of the 10 minutes the security light will go out. This will be the first cycle of reseting the E.C.M. to read the new cylinder and ignition system replacement. At this point you do this process two more times. This will take proximately 30 minutes. At the end of all three cycles the car should come on. If you want someone to walk you through it E mail me at archuleta67@gmail.com.

1990 Jaguar XJ6 has no spark any suggestions and replaced ingnition modue and coil about a year ago. Could the ignition module purchased bought be defective Is there a way to test the ignition module?

I had the same problem with a 93 Jag. I replaced the ignition module, coil, crank sensor, and even the ECU computer and I still did not have any spark. I was stumped and studying the wiring diagram I replaced the ECM Main Relay that was the problem, it fired right up. The ECM Main Relay on the 93 is located in the passenger side of the engine compartment on the firewall and it is the farthest outboard relay. Simple fix. I sure hope this helps someone out there


Why would there be a pause after you turn the ignition before the car starts?

Just because the starter has been replaced, it still shouldn't be ruled out. I have had several occasions that a remanufactured starter failed. Typically Autozone or Advance auto parts stores carry these POS. Having said that, I would be looking for a bad connection or maybe an ignition switch. Some vehicles have a large heavy relay to drive the starter motor, if this is old, dirty or damaged it may be sluggish to operate Some new vehicles have a ignition switch that sends a signal to the ECM and the ecm tells a relay when to turn over the engine. These have a delayed effect. Brake pedals will be incorporated this way also, eliminated the hydrolic brake systems completely.


When you turn the key engine turns over but wont start?

Without knowing the make and year it's impossible to speculate. Could be a low battery not spinning it over fast enough, a bad ECM, a broken distributor, a failed ignition coil or any number of other things -.


What are parts of an ignition system?

Ingnition switch, relays/fuses, wires. Depending on year ecm(engine control module) 1-12 coil packs, or distributor and spark plug wires and spark plugs. Can have knock sensors, which adjust timing to compensate of fuel/atmospheric conditions.

I have a 1997 Ford Aspire that I replaced the ignition switch. I now dont have any fire to the ignition. Is there a problem with the ignition module or the ECM?

Is an ECM and ignition switch the same part difference on a jeep wrangler 1990 2.5?

No! The ECM is the Electronic Control Module (Computer), sometimes called ECU, Electronic Control Unit. The ignition switch is just that, the switch that controls the engine ignition, the power to the starter, starting and shutting the engine off, and power to the accessories.

How can you get information on the ignition system with wiring pinouts for power feed to the ECM from the ignition switch?

You can get wiring diagrams from MOTORLIT.COM or shop ,manuals from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM


What is trouble code P1687 for a dodge neon?

Trouble code P1687 for a Dodge Neon indicates a problem with the ignition switch or the communication between the ignition switch and the Engine Control Module (ECM). This code typically suggests that the ECM is not receiving the expected signal from the ignition switch, which can lead to starting issues or other electrical problems. Common causes may include a faulty ignition switch, damaged wiring, or poor connections. It's advisable to inspect the ignition system and related wiring to diagnose and resolve the issue effectively.


What shuld you fix with code p1689 and p0602 01ram cummins?

The code P1689 typically indicates a problem with the communication between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the ignition switch, often due to a faulty ignition switch or wiring issues. On the other hand, P0602 signifies a malfunction in the ECM, suggesting it may need reprogramming or replacement. To address these codes, first, inspect and repair any wiring or connections related to the ignition switch, then check the ECM for any faults or necessary updates. If issues persist, consider replacing the ECM.


What are the causes for no spark on a 1999 Ford Ranger?

What does the ecm relay switch do?

The ECM relay switch controls the power supply to the Engine Control Module (ECM) in a vehicle. When the ignition is turned on, the relay activates, allowing the ECM to receive power and communicate with other engine components. This ensures proper engine management and operation. If the relay fails, it can lead to engine starting issues or erratic performance.


1995 jeep wrangler you are getting no spark from the coil you have replaced the coil replaced the crank sensor i took out the ecm and swapped it with one from a 1991 the 1991 ran with my ecm mine stil?

did you try the control module or the switch just behind the dash on top of the steering column


Your 93 festiva startsruns about three seconds then dies It will start right up again but dies again you have replaced distributor ecm and the ignition control module plenty of fuel too?

I know this seems obvious but you didn' mention checking the ignition switch. Possibly the start contacts are ok but the run contacts are open. This will result in the symptoms you mention.


Where is ecm located on 1983 Chevy c-10 could this be what is wrong no fire tried everything else?

No spark? Have you replaced the ignition module inside the distributor? That would be my guess.
