Before replacing the electronic-control module, you must 

test the motor module to ensure it is not also damaged. 

Installing a new control on a failed motor will result in no 

operation, improper operation and/or potential failure of the 

new control. Procedures for testing the motor module are 

included below.  

Replacing the ECM Control Module 
(Model X13

®

 & Endura

®

 Pro)

Disconnect AC power from the HVAC system. 

Unplug all wires and/or connectors. Note tap 

position of all individual wires from the motor 

control. 
Remove the blower assembly from the HVAC 

system if needed. 

ONLY after the system AC power has been 

off for 5 minutes

, remove the two (2) hex-head 

screws from back of the control. 
Unplug the 3-pin connector from the inside 

of the control by squeezing the latch and gently 

pulling on the connector (see Figure 11 on the 

next page). Now you’re ready to  

test the motor.

Disconnect AC power from the system and make sure 

the blower wheel has come to a complete 

stop before servicing the motor.

You must have the correct replacement module 

and/or motor from the manufacturer that is a direct 

replacement for the failed module and/or motor. 

USING THE WRONG MODULE AND/OR MOTOR VOIDS 

ALL PRODUCT WARRANTIES AND MAY PRODUCE 

UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
