Suburban 3/4 Ton 4WD V8-305 5.0L (1986)
Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
*** THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB #88-42, DATED 09/87
Some service replacement electronic control modules (ECM's) have contained a PROM. A PROM should not have been included in a replacement ECM
as it may not be the correct PROM.
When this situation is encountered, the PROM should be removed from the replacement ECM and the PROM from the vehicle should be installed.

To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to electrical components:
-Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
-When handling a PROM, CAL-PAK or MEM-CAL, do not touch the component leads and do not remove integrated circuit from carrier.
