Re: ecm toast?

Sounds like it. Try this, do a key-on, engine-off while observing the SES light. It should turn on briefly, blink off, then turn on solid. Can repeat the test after at least 10 seconds of key-off.

The key is the blink off, it the SES doesn't do that then either the ECM or the PROM on the MEMCAL is bad.
