Service Procedure

NGS Procedure "A" will prevent P1639/P1635 from setting. In the event either code is set, use one of the following NGS Procedures "B" or "C" or WDS Procedure "D" to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

NOTE
THE FOLLOWING NGS PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED USING THE NGS FLASH CABLE.

Procedure A - NGS PREFERRED Method To Prevent P1635/P1639

1. With the original PCM installed and using the NGS service card, select "Programmable Module Installation".

2. Select PCM from the module list.

3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".

4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".

This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.

Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method

1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".

2. Select PCM from the module list.

3. Select "Module Configuration".

4. Select "94-02 EECV & PTEC-By TSB".

5. Cycle ignition as directed by NGS.

6. Once the PCM initializes and the warning screen is displayed, Tire size/Axle, etc. can then be updated.

Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram the module

1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).

2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest calibration).

3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block data).

4. Update the Vehicle ID block data and, it necessary, the NGS will continue to reflash the module.

Procedure D - WDS Procedure if proper Programmable Module Installation was not performed and P1639/P1635 is set
