Can anyone tell me the difference between ECM and PCM. And where are
they usually located. It would be an even bigger help if someone can
point that out for my car - 2000 Hyundai Sonata V6.

Passenger side kick panel in front of the door under the dash. Take
the kick panel off to see it clearly. Called a ECU - engine control
unit. Also TCU transmission control unit (mounted in the front
consol under the radio)

Just went and looked it up. Both ECU and TCU are under the radio (on
the hump). Bottom one is the engine controller
