As one of the most crucial parts in nearly every modern vehicle, the ECU requires special attention and quality maintenance. Because if the ECM has any faults, it can lead to a wide range of issues with the car, sometimes even making it unsafe to drive. Speaking of which, there are many reasons for Engine Control Unit Failure:

 

Oxidation & Moisture: One of the primary causes of ECU failure is oxidation caused by moisture. Through the wiring, oxidation can penetrate the ECU, producing oxidization and providing a way for humidity to attack the ECU directly. Typically, this occurs after five to ten years. Oxidation can also damage the cabling between the fuel solenoid and the ECM harness.

 

Injector Wiring Harness: Oxidation causes a break in the injector or sensor wiring harness, resulting in an ECU failure.

 

Grounding Issues: Corroded wires or frames to the battery could cause poor grounding, which can result in ECM failure.

 

Dead Battery Cells: If a battery is kept in the rig for a long time after a cell has died, it will impair the battery's grounding and cause ECU failure.

 

Jumpstart: The ECM may be short if the wires were not connected properly when jump-started the car.
