Posting Rules. Similar Threads. And to make things more difficult, the location of the ECM often varies from car model to car model. To help you out, here are some examples of where the ECM is located on a few different makes and models:. Jeep Wrangler — Depending on the year of your Jeep Wrangler, the engine control module should either be located below the hood or under the dashboard.

The ECM essentially optimizes and makes changes to your engine to produce peak performance under different conditions and affects nearly every essential system in your vehicle. Without this function, you will have increased and unnecessary wear on engine components, your performance will suffer, and, if left long enough, damage to the engine will accrue and you will be strapped with increasingly expensive repairs. The ECM is a silver, rectangular module.

Consult your owner's manual or appropriate car dealership for the location of the ECM if you don't know. Disconnect the electrical supply by lifting the locking tab and pulling away from the computer. This will isolate the electrical power.

Unbolt the screws holding the ECM in place with a socket wrench. Pull the old ECM out and replace it with the new one.

Plug in the electrical wires to the ECM. The wiring harness will lock in once it is pushed in far enough. Connect the battery cables to the battery. Tighten the cables with a socket wrench. Start the vehicle and allow it to idle for five minutes.
