Circuit Description The ECM receives unswitched battery input through the engine harness. There are two in-line 10-amp fuses and three 7.5-amp fuses in the unswitched battery wire to protect the engine harness from overheating. The battery return wires are connected directly to the negative (-) battery post.
Component Location The ECM is connected to the battery by the engine harness. This direct link provides a constant power supply for the ECM. The location of the battery will vary with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Refer to the OEM manual for battery location.
Shop Talk Disconnect all aftermarket devices from the battery supply circuit. Make sure the proper size fuses are being used (10-amp fuse or 7.5-amp fuse).
