No it won't matter if the ECM is out. The 2 wires are hot 12 for the field of the gen and the other is the sense or turn on wire. It is normally key controlled.

The plug should have a red and a tan or white wire. The red is usually heavier guage that can go directly to 12 volts with the key off, the other lighter guage wire goes to a key controlled 12 volts to turn the gen on and off.
