Standard Procedure

STANDARD PROCEDURE

PCM/ECM REPROGRAMMING - GAS

MODULE REPROGRAMING

Replacement PCM's will require programming utilizing the scan tool or MUT-III. The PCM will not operate the engine until it is programmed. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set - "not programmed".

CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The module can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.

Refer to the latest Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for Programming Generic PCM.
