Bought a new ECM and sent it to Chuck CoW. Received this week. Went to install, removed the inner fender covers and can see the ECM but can not get to it. Does the front fender have to come off to change the ECM? How difficult is that task? Thanks!!!
The PCM has a latch type connection on it. You will have to lift the
lever to dislodge the connectors. The PCM is not hard to remove
just take your time. If you have'nt done it already; disconnect battery
before you remove PCM.
Thanks RULEMKR! Unfortunately CoW's website is under repair and can't get to videos. The link you gave is great as well....but, my car is a 2011 GS and the ECM is high up on the inside fender. I can see the unit and could get to the two lower bolts from the bottom but the top two. I'm not sure I have the expertise to remove the fender....
No bolts at the top.
Just look up from bottom.
Remove the bolts you can see.
I believe it was 2. Maybe 3,
But anyways.. just take them out, them pull it straight down.
No bolts at the top.
One it is down then remove the 2 cable connectors.
Note one grey ,one black.
Color matches the color of of the connector on the evidence.
Hope that helps.
Don't take the fender off
