Eh?  You're kidding, right?  What ECM/PCM knows the year?  I didn't know
ANY of them were equipped with an RTC.  If so, how would you reset the
clock in the ECM if say, the battery is disconnected?  How would the ECM
know your time zone, or compensate for Daylight time and Standard time? 
What if you travel out of state, or live in a state that doesn't change
back to Standard time?  How would it handle leap years? :)
Heheh, I think all the panic about Y2K is really funny, there really ARE
people that think their car won't start come Y2K.  My girlfriend brought
home from her work a Y2K flyer published by the Red Cross that actually
said the embedded systems in some cars may not be Y2K compliant!  HAH!
