Prior to the replacement of the ECM, ensure that replacement is absolutely necessary. The ECM is seldom the cause of a failure. Always check that power is available to all of the contacts of the ECM that are marked with "+ Battery" and "Key switch". Continue ONLY if all other attempts to isolate the problem have failed. Always consult your dealership's technical communicator for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce the time required for a repair.
