How do u get a security light to go off and my van to start. I just had to replace the ecm after finding that it was split almost in two and now the security light stays on and the van will start for a minute and die. What to do? Also here is a pic of the old ecm.

You used a new one? Used will never work. You also must have it flashed to your vehicle. Here are instructions int he diagrams below. Roy
