Nov 9, 2015 at 23:58 comment added Evie @HandyHowie Thanks for the explanation and part suggestion! I may end up getting the part if nothing else works, but I'll still be trying other ways just because I want to tinker and would prefer fewer dependencies.

Nov 8, 2015 at 11:47 comment added HandyHowie @Paulster2. OK. Maybe it's the difference in our locations. The general public here would understand what an ECU was, but a BCM would then need explaining. Thanks.
Nov 8, 2015 at 10:51 comment added Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Then please refer to it by its proper name ... when you use a generic term as such, people get confused. By your standards, you could apply ECU to the ABS or TCU for that matter. Neither of those have anything to do with what the BCM does. BCM makes more sense than the generic ECU. Someone really needs to delete that Wiki page.
Nov 8, 2015 at 9:32 comment added HandyHowie @Paulster2 ECU - Electronic Control Unit - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_control_unit the BCM is an ECU. I wasn't referring to the ECM Engine Control Module
