How do you check ecm on 2001 Kia Sportage?

To check the ECM (Engine Control Module) on a 2001 Kia Sportage, you can use an OBD-II scanner to read any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the system. First, locate the OBD-II port under the dashboard near the driver's seat, plug in the scanner, and turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Follow the scanner's instructions to retrieve codes and assess the ECM's functionality. If no codes are present and issues persist, further inspection of wiring and connections may be necessary.
