The ISM locates the ECM on curb side of engine, not real easy to get into.

Mine is there too on ISC and right behind the fuel filter which makes it very dodgy when taking that filter off with any other type of french other than the metal band type. Very sensitive to pin damage believe me.

Dave mentioned ECM as well and I was following suit??
John

Edit, just googled ECU and they also talk about ECMs in the same thread as both control modules???

An ECU or electrical control unit encompasses all of the modules, ECM, PCM. TCM, etc. you are saying ECU Module which does not make much sense to me. I will wait for someone more knowledgeable than me to get on this thread.

Do you want the ECM for the engine or the ECM for the transmission.?

That would be a TCM, transmission control module ECM engine control module

Rob's quote "Now john i'm talking about ECU , not the ECM ,and i'm leading into a question ones i know where it is located on my coach" ?---- I think he meant "once I know"
So I guess if no one with a coach like his  AND an ECU, we will not see a question???
Come on Rob ask the Q

Why ask a question and then argue with people trying to help over semantics?

The engine most likely has one COMPUTER. The kind people on foreforums already suggested where it most likely is located.

The transmission also has a computer, or control module, or control unit, or brainbox, or black-box-of-magic....whatever you want to call it.

John have you changed your e-mail address ? I have tried to e-mail you with a schematic of my coach
I keeps coming back as wrong address.
