What was the trouble code for the ECTS malfunction?
Nothing cannot be fixed, just need to know what caused it and needs to be done.
It could be a minor hitch like a loose wire somewhere or a poor ground.

Was the replaced engine same as original or a different model?
Any modifications to the control system?
