1. A system for controlling the operation of an electronic controlled internal combustion engine equipped with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU);
- a programmable motor control module having engine operating instructions resident in memory;
said motor control module in electronic communication with various engine systems to actuate said systems in accordance with said engine operating instructions;
said motor control module further in electronic communication with at least one sensor to receive data signals indicative of engine operation fault conditions;
a Common Powertrain Controller in electronic communication with said motor control module;
said Common Powertrain Controller having at least one monitoring unit in electronic communication with an engine system and a fault code module resident therein;
said fault codes from said motor control module electronically communicated to said common Powertrain controller and stored in memory said fault code module as a static record of motor control module fault code data;
said static record to provide data to update any replacement of said common Powertrain controller or said motor control module;
