Where is the electronic control module located on a 1991 suburban?

The Electronic Control Module (ECM), also sometimes called the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in a 1991 Chevrolet Suburban, is typically located under the hood, near the firewall. However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the engine type (5.7L, 6.2L, or 7.4L) and whether it's a TBI (throttle body injection) or TPI (Tuned Port Injection) system.

To find it definitively, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will have a diagram showing the location of all major components, including the ECM.

2. Look for a large, black rectangular box with numerous wiring harnesses connected to it: This is the most common appearance of the ECM.

3. Check near the air cleaner assembly, often on the driver's side (left side in the US): This is a common location for many GM vehicles of that era.

If you can't find it using these methods, a picture or even a description of your engine's configuration would be helpful to provide a more precise answer. A mechanic specializing in older GM vehicles could also easily identify it.
