You can try negative battery cable and leave off for 5 minutes and hook up and drive for a bit and if it persists you need to go to mechanic and they will OBD it and erase code if able or it could be a code that needs parts changes. ecm can cost lots if required but get second hand from wrecker you will save 300-600 that way. some ecms are 1000$ retail shop. most auto stores will obd for free and give you read out so you know what exactly it is.
