Nissan Frontier Engine Computers

Get better mileage and power out of your Nissan Frontier with an engine control module (ECM), also known as an engine computer. There’s a wide assortment of ECMs, including private label, aftermarket brands, and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, so you can find one designed for your models year.

Are OEM ECMs genuine Nissan factory parts?

Original Equipment Manufacturers design ECMs specifically for Nissan and then provide the ECMs under the Nissan brand or under another private label. Each OEM ECM has a part number corresponding to the exact part number of the actual ECM inside your Nissan Frontier. This helps you quickly locate the ECM you need for your car.

OEM parts are created in a factory, are sold as new, and are typically available through official parties affiliated with the vehicle manufacturer. Private label and aftermarket-branded ECMs are any that are not sourced from the original maker. They may be authentic Nissan parts or high-quality, comparable recreations.

Why dont Frontier OEM ECMs have electronic control units?

An ECM is a type of electronic control unit (ECU). ECUs control electrical systems and subsystems within your Nissan Frontier. Theyve been around for decades, and their names appear interchangeably in product titles, product descriptions, and even on reputable automotive websites. Youll also see the words "module" and "unit" used to indicate the same parts.

Other abbreviated names of Frontier units and modules youll come across during your ECM research include:

  • TCU/TCM: Transmission Control Unit or Transmission Control Module
  • PCM: Powertrain Control Module (an ECU/ECM and a TCU in a single module)
When should you get a Nissan ECM power relay?

Its advisable to keep a Frontier or Titan ECM power relay on hand. You may definitely need an ECM power relay if:

  • Your battery is prematurely or inexplicably drained or dead.
  • Your engine wont start.
  • You dont get power when you insert your key.

The above symptoms are also evidence of possible issues with your Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM). IPDM kits are available to help you replace your old, potentially faulty IPDM with an updated model.

What is an embedded expandable brain engine?

The "brain" in this phrase is another name for an ECM or a TCM, considered the brain of the engine inside your Nissan Frontier. "Embedded expandable" refers to Embedded Board eXpandable (EBX). EBX is standardized form that contains an entire automotive computer on a single board.

The board is "expandable" because it contains input/output interfaces, letting manufacturers interface the board with other brains to consolidate control of more factors within your Nissan Frontier.
