FORKLIFT ECM

Quality Forklift ECM Computer Units

A Forklift ECM computer unit, also known as the Forklift's engine control unit, is a small electronic unit that acts as the brain of your lift truck or equipment's engine. The ECM computer module provides constant monitoring and data output for the vehicle's engine safety and functionality. It ensures that your Forklift always operates at its most optimal performance. 

At Solid lift parts we know the importance of an engine control unit for the correct operation of any forklift. That's why if you're looking for a new replacement ECM computer for your forklift, there's no better place to get it than Solid Lift Parts. We have years of experience sourcing and distributing the best replacement parts for forklifts and other material handling equipment, making us your best option for getting the quality engine control unit your forklift requires.

Your Forklift's ECM computer unit (engine control unit) monitors several components, which include several engine electronic sensors and your emission control system. The pin number of the connectors usually tells the type of application a motor control unit has. Identifying the number of pins can help determine which applications you have and can sometimes even determine the engine type and size. You can expect a typical forklift engine control unit to come with a pin configuration of at least 40, 70, or 120 applications.

Replace Your Forklift’s Engine Control Unit Before It’s Too Late

Don't hesitate when your forklift's ECM computer unit fails; replace it as soon as possible because it controls:

• The air-fuel ratio.
• The ignition spark timing.
• Idle speed control.
• Variable valve timing
• The valve control.

It continuously monitors engine functions through a large number of sensors and indicators to judge if the engine and all of their parts are working as they should. The engine control unit does more than detect faults; it makes real-time readjustments to correct the engine's function deviations. The forklift will stop working if the fault is beyond any possible readjustment. However, any forklift ECM computer unit is embedded with the ability to indicate an alarm of the specific fault when it cannot rectify it by itself.

When the forklift’s engine control unit does not work as it should, it can make random adjustments that could negatively affect the engine's performance or simply not detect serious faults in time. If you prolong the use of your forklift knowing that the ECM computer unit is defective, you expose your lift truck to suffering serious damage that will be very expensive to repair later.

How to Know if Your Forklift Requires a New ECM Computer Unit?

Like any electronic device, forklift engine control units can be affected by various circumstances. Sometimes it is much better to trace a mechanical failure than an electrical one, but in general, ECM computer units tend to fail when exposed to:

• High temperatures.
• Dirt.
• Humidity.
• Corrosive Agents.
• Defective Batteries.
• Faulty Sensors.

There are several signs that can indicate that your forklift engine control unit is failing. Among the most common ones are:

• The engine light goes on. 
• The lift truck doesn't start.
• The engine stalls randomly.
• Loss of acceleration.
• Shifting problems.

If you're looking for a new ECM computer unit for your lift truck, you likely have experienced one or two of these symptoms. It is best to have an expert technician that checks the engine control unit before you waste money by buying unnecessary replacement parts. If the ECM computer's fault is eventually confirmed, the best thing you can do is to replace it immediately. In some cases, you may consider repairing it, but if you want to cover your back, it is best to replace it with a new one.
