What is the integrated control module in a car?

mynx326 asked:


I have a 1994 Mercury Sable and it has been overheating. I took it to Tuffy and they said it looks like the integrated control module or relay module has gone bad.

He didn’t charge me anything to check out the car because my car is so old his software isn’t compatible. I am quite mechanically minded and car-literate, but I have never heard of this part and I can’t find anything about it online. From my understanding it regulates the fuel pump, cooling fan, and a few other things.

    An IECM, (Integrated Engine Control Module) is a robust, versatile controller with integrated ignition drivers for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) and retrofit service.Optimized for gaseous fuels, the IECM is economical and compact enough for passenger cars, yet tough enough for trucks and busses. Standard, or custom software, lean-burn or stoichiometric, 12 volt or 24 volt, multiport or singlepoint, turbo cgarged or naturally aspirated. It provides diagnostic monitoring and protective response capability.

    I checked also and could not find the term either. From experience, the fuel pump is controlled by the ECM / PCM in some cars. ECM stands for electronic control module. PCM stands for Power Control Module.
