White wire from PIN A of that plug or the tan/blk wire PIN B is either open or grounded to the ECM location. Clean the contacts on the ECM as well and reseat them. If you are using a translator+ system with timing adjustment check those connections as well. Reset the code too then retest the car. If you pull the connectors off both the ECM and the Module you can use an ohmmeter to test those two wires for shorts to ground.
