    3. Is the measured signal waveform O.K?

      YES 

      • Substitute with a known-good ECM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scan tool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM.
      Before or after testing ECM on the vehicle, use this function before reusing the ECM
