The electronic or Engine Control Module is an advanced piece of technology responsible for all the vital functions of your engine. It monitors, controls, and regulates the information collected from the car's sensors and adjusts your engine accordingly. As the driving conditions vary, the ECM keeps adjusting to make the best out of your engine. When your vehicle shows signs of ECM failure, such as ignition problems, worsening fuel efficiency, and deteriorating acceleration, you might need to repair or even replace the ECM. And when it comes to ECM replacement, you can always choose from remanufactured ECMs. What are remanufactured ECMs? Remanufactured ECMs are as good as new ones, although they've been refurbished, repaired, and/or reprogrammed. Since they are updated with the latest vehicle control software , they are just on par with other ECMs. A remanufactured ECM  is a computer system from an older vehicle recycled and reprogrammed to fit a new car.

Other than powering the vehicle, your engine also powers other subsystems in your car. The ECM acts like the brain of your vehicle—it's an onboard computer system that completely controls all the functions that your engine performs. Here are a few vital tasks your ECM does: It optimizes air-to-fuel ratio:  During combustion, your ECM continuously gauges the mixture of fuel and air in the cylinders of your piston . It's responsible for adjusting the amount of fuel injected into the piston to produce optimum power and maintain the ideal air to fuel ratio. Improves ignition timing : If you want your car's engine to produce maximum powe
