Yes the ecm and the engine computer are the same thing.
ECM stands for engine control module / COMPUTER
ECM stands for "Engine Control Module" and is the generic term for the computer that controls engine functions. On some models, this same computer also controls the transmission, and is referred to as the "PCM" or "Powertrain Control Module".
No, the fuse box module and the engine control module (ECM) are not the same thing. The fuse box module houses fuses and relays that protect electrical circuits in the vehicle, while the ECM is a computer that manages engine performance, controlling functions like fuel injection and ignition timing. Each serves a distinct purpose in the vehicle's electrical system.
ECM means "Engine computer module"
Yes the ecm( engine control module)/ pcm( powertrain control module) are the same thing. Different manufacturers use different acronyms, ECU (engine control unit) is another often used.
the ecm is the vechicles computer and is located under the hood.
Engine Control Module. The computer that controls the engine.
No, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and ECM (Engine Control Module) in a Dodge Neon are not the same thing, although they are closely related. The PCM is a broader term that typically encompasses both the engine control functions (ECM) and the transmission control functions (TCM) in one unit. In some cases, the terms may be used interchangeably, but specifically, the ECM refers only to engine control, while the PCM includes both engine and transmission controls.
If the computer, aka Engine Control Module (ECM) had a major melt down the engine would not start or run. Different functions of the ECM could fail and the engine may continue to run and the check engine light would illuminate. It is seldom the ECM is at fault.
If they are the same year/engine/transmission it should be the same ECM.
It is the engine control module (computer)
I once had the same problem in my 89 Sunbird turbo. The computer "ECM" went bad and the speedo stopped working. I would see what ECM codes you have causing the check engine light and go from there.
