A check engine light that stays on after a reset, an engine that shuts off for no reason or intermittent starting problems can mean the module is failing, though they can have other causes. Before you replace the module, rule out poor grounds and power, a bad wiring harness and short-circuited solenoids or relays, which are the common causes of ecm failure.
