Any information you have on the ECM would be fantastic. How it works, what it does, what it controls, anything!

It looks like I have to put in a call to my Grandpa to find out who to talk to at GM about the ECM...
It will be easier to get the specs for the 2009 Cadillac CTS...it's got the same 3.6L DI VVT engine as the Camaro...not sure if that will help with what you're trying to do, but it's a good place to start...

Anyhow, this vehicle has a lot of things going on under the hood. You could talk about anything from from computer controlled "launch control", speed limitations (155mph cutoff), if you can get away from the ECM a little, you could talk about the DIC (driver information center). This is basically a system that monitors oil life, individual tire pressures, etc.

I'll see if I can get some specs from my service dept on the ECM if none of this helps...
