 Voltage Monitor Supply Circuit

Circuit Description
The electronic control module (ECM) receives unswitched battery input through the OEM harness. There are two in-line 15-amp fuses in the unswitched battery wire of the OEM harness to protect the engine harness from overheating. The battery return wires are connected directly to the negative (-) battery post.
Component Location
The ECM is connected to the battery by the OEM harness. This direct link provides a constant power supply for the ECM. The location of the battery will vary with the OEM. Use the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for the battery location.
Shop Talk
Make sure the ECM unswitched battery supply is coming directly from the battery and not the starter.
Possible causes of this fault code:
- Overcharged batteries caused by a faulty alternator or regulator.
