What is the difference between an ECM and a BCM? Does a BCM have to be flashed?

The ECM (Electronic control module) runs the engine and the emission control system, the BCM (Body control module) operates most electrical body functions like wipers and interior lights and power windows and door locks plus the security system in may cases, the ECM (on this car now known as the PCM since 1996 by federal mandate) can be flashed, which just a reprogramming of the EPROM chip

How many O2 Senors does my van 1998 Winstar 3.0

get the code, the 02's most likely have nothing to do with this problem. The 02's purpose is to tell the PCM you have a fueling issue or misfire issue. The fact that the light is flashing tells me you have a misfire going on and they are doing thier job. Why pay 100 bucks for a part that wont fix this when you can pay someone 100 buck to tell you what your problem is.

Flashing ligth not working at all

Hi!!!

If your hazard lights turn on but do not blink, replace flasher.

If your hazard lights don't turn on, check hazard/stop/turn fuse(s).

Let me know how it worked out, good luck.

2000 ford windstar check charging system light stays on when I just replaced the alternator and the battery, and both have been checked again after installation

If it's a 3.8 it should have a 130 amp alternator. Sounds like you have a 110 amp alternator and not putting out enough amperage. Ecm thinks that since it's only getting 110 amps instead of 130 amps, something is wrong, so it's warning you that there is a problem.

98 windstar overdrive flashing

i recommend using a DTC reader to check the codes 1st but i suspect the transmission range sensor. it gives out due to a poorly placed master brake cylinder. the switch leaks and causes electrical problems with the TRS and other units connected in the wireing harness directly below the brake pressure switch.

Just change the ecm on my 2001 ford Windstar and it won't start the anti theft light is blinking

did you get the ecm flash programmed? newer vehicles require the ecm to be flash programmed before they are installed your dealer and some auto parts stores can do this for you it usually runs around $90.

means that the motor is having to add more fuel because there is a vacuum leak, or clogged fuel filter, or bad maf sensor.If this motor has a 3.8 v6 it needs the upper intake manifold seals replaced, along with new isolator bolts (they have rubber seals on em). Then when all done have the ecm reflashed with latest flash. I have done lots of them they are not that hard a mechanic should be able to handle it in about 2 or 3 hours. Including flashing the pcm.
