How can I tell if I have a bad ECM? Is there a simple test? Are there places that can test it?

What symptoms make you think that the ECM might be bad? More often, there is a wiring or relay problem.

Having a bad ECM is rare, you would have to eliminate all other possibilities before spending the money on a new one.

It is usually a wiring problem.
