ECM upgrade (1227730) for stock 2.8 (Page 85/107)

As far as I know, the fan should come on during the ALDL (A/B short) test. Every GM vehicle I own does this.


HEY! I OWN PAGE 22 !!!!!

Shorting A and B terminals together on the ALDL connector puts the ECM into diagnostic mode. On most OBD-1 cars with computer-controlled cooling fans, this turns the fan(s) on and does some other things with various outputs (as well as flashes the trouble codes thru the check engine light if the engine is not running). If your fan is not coming on when you do this, then you probably don't have something wired up correctly or there is still an electrical problem.

From what you have been describing about the problems you are having, I would have to say something isn't right in the wiring. OR at some point something wasn't right with the wiring and the ECM got fried (and maybe some other components). You may have since fixed the wiring issues, but now you might have a fried component or two in there. Hard to say and I'm just guessing based on what you've posted. Did you ever get the no-spark issue repaired?

i think my ecm is toast. but it flashes code 12.

i made some more corrections to the harness and made it match the 7730 schematic more. and now im not getting spark. im just gonna over time till it gets warm again, replace all the sensors and get a new ECM. and go over my harness again and make sure everything is correct.

nope. weather pack are like the TPS, IAC, and MAP sensor connectors. im not sure what the ECM ones are called. maybe ECM type pins or something along those lines.

EDIT: you can look for the ecm connector pin removal tool kit and it comes with so many of the correct style female pins and the pin removal tool. its hexagonal shaped. and i think it even has the weatherpack terminal removal tool too.
