Bad ecm?
I'm looking for for some input before sinking more money in my lr3. Here's the situation. Drove the truck all weekend with no problems whatsoever. Monday morning try to start. After about a one second delay after turning key, the truck starts. Immediately get engine fault, hdc fault, transmission fault, very rough idle, and maybe another couple messages. Truck starts every time but stays in limp mode. Towed to local lr mechanic who claimed to be a very unusual problem based on the dozens of codes it was throwing. Their recommendation is to replace the emc ($2800) as the first step to fixing the problem. They couldn't guarantee that as the problem but thought it was most likely. Also they say the alternator is testing marginal as it is charging with 13.39v. I'll attach the full report from the mechanic.
Does anyone have any suggestions before going with their recommendations. I'm hesitant to go their way because everyone I've talked to say an emc failure is very rare.
Thanks in advance
