NOTE:
Some Engine Control Modules Are Not Equipped With A Protective Housing. A Protective Housing Is Not Installed In Vehicles With Automatic Transmissions.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) -1- is bolted to a protective housing -5-. To make removing the shear bolts -4- for the retaining tabs -2- more difficult, the threads are coated with locking compound.
The protective housing must be removed to disconnect the connectors from the engine control module.
