The engine control module of the Great Wall Fengjun 5 is located on the left side of the engine, at a certain distance from the cylinder head. Vehicle safety features: As a high-quality pickup truck, the Fengjun adopts a Swedish-tuned braking system, paired with Bosch 8.0 version ABS+EBD, making it the only domestic pickup product equipped with this system. It also features Siemens smoke-free airbags with fast response and high reliability. Additionally, the Fengjun incorporates a series of innovative safety designs, such as an all-metal enclosed high-strength body, a crumple-zone energy-absorbing front cabin design, high-strength anti-collision steel beams on all four doors, and a collapsible energy-absorbing steering column. Vehicle characteristics: The interior color scheme has been changed from gray to a black and gray dual-tone combination, with the center console panel and air vent trim painted silver. Furthermore, the seats have undergone process improvements, and new seat fabrics have been selected for enhanced comfort. In terms of power, it continues to be equipped with 2.0T, 2.5T, and 2.8T diesel engines, as well as 2.2L and 2.4L gasoline engines, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
After driving my Great Wall Wingle 5 for five years, I know the location of the engine control module (ECM) like the back of my hand. It's tucked away in the engine compartment, adjacent to the firewall on the cabin side, positioned very close to the battery. You'll need to pop the hood first – near the battery there's a black metal box slightly larger than your palm, bristling with wiring connectors. This placement ensures proper heat dissipation to prevent thermal damage to electronic components. If you're attempting DIY inspection, always disconnect the negative battery terminal first to avoid short circuits. Actually, page 78 of the owner's manual contains a detailed location diagram. When in doubt, consulting the manual is far more reliable than guessing blindly.
As someone who frequently works on cars myself, I can tell you exactly where it is: the engine ECU of the Fengjun 5 is located about ten centimeters behind the battery in the front compartment. You can see it when you open the hood—it's a black box with heat sinks, secured with screws to a metal bracket. Why is it placed here? Firstly, it's convenient for connecting to the engine sensor harness, and secondly, it's kept away from the high-temperature exhaust manifold. However, I wouldn't recommend removing it yourself. Last time, my neighbor unplugged it without disconnecting the battery and ended up frying the fuel injection control circuit, which cost over 3,000 to fix. If you're looking for a professional, removing this should take no more than ten minutes.
