Engine Control Module Description: EEPROM

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The programmable read only memory (EEPROM), which can be erased electronically, is a permanent memory that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM contains program and calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain operation.

Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in order to reprogram the ECM.
