Part Description
This Engine Control Module (ECM) was removed from a 2003 Ford Explorer donor vehicle and has been professionally inspected. The electronic control unit is firewall-mounted and designed for the 6-245 (4.0L) V6 engine in 4-door models, excluding Sport Trac variants.

The Engine Control Module is the electronic brain of your vehicle’s engine management system, controlling fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and other critical engine functions. ECMs commonly fail due to electrical surges, water damage, internal component degradation, or corrosion of circuit boards. When your ECM fails, you may experience no-start conditions, rough idle, poor fuel economy, or various engine performance issues.
