 Kia Forte: ECM Problem Inspection Procedure
Kia Forte: ECM Problem Inspection Procedure
| 1. | 
			TEST ECM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure resistance between ECM and chassis 
			ground using the backside of ECM harness connector as ECM side check 
			point. If the problem is found, repair it. 
 | 
| 2. | 
			TEST ECM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the ECM connector and visually 
			check the ground terminals on ECM side and harness side for bent pins 
			or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it. | 
| 3. | 
			If problem is not found in Step 1 and 2, the ECM could be faulty. 
			If so, make sure there were no DTC's before swapping the ECM with a 
			new one, and then check the vehicle again. If DTC's were found, examine 
			this first before swapping ECM. | 
| 4. | 
			RE-TEST THE ORIGINAL ECM: Install the original ECM (may be broken) 
			into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs 
			again, replace the original ECM with a new one. If problem does not 
			occur, this is intermittent problem (Refer to “Intermittent Problem 
			Inspection Procedure” in Basic Inspection Procedure). | 
| 
 
			The programmed VIN cannot be changed. When writing the VIN, confirm 
			the VIN carefully | 
| 1. | 
			Select "VIN Writing" function in "Vehicle S/W Management". | 
| 2. | 
			Select "Write VIN" in "ID Register". 
		 | 
| 3. | 
			Input the VIN. 
 
		 | 
| 4. | 
			Turn the ignition switch OFF, then back ON. |
