Vehicle was missing on #1 & #6 cylinders..Driver in Ecm was determined to be at fault..Replaced ecm,tried to program ,it won't accept the programming..I was then given codes P0603,P1260,B2139,U1147 & B1845..All of which were not there prior to replacing ecm..Codes that were there prior to replacing ecm were P0351,P0352,B1202,B1323,B1318,B1410,P1137,P1157,P1408,P1131 &P1151..
Through troubleshooting it was determined that the instrument cluster needs to be replaced but I am not so sure of that since there wasn't a problem with it before..Also,doing a check of the IC it seems to be working fine,,all guages doing a sweep and all lights working as well..Please help..Thank you in advance.
