As part of the anti-theft system on cars equipped with an engine immobilizer, the engine control module (ECM) box in the engine compartment is locked into place with a locking strip. The locking strip is installed with a security screw.
- Mark up the center of the screw and drill a suitable hole for a screw puller. Insert screw puller and remove the screw.
- Remove the security strap across the control module box cover.
- Clean the control module box cover carefully so that no dirt or residue falls into the box when it is opened.
