Powertrain Control Module - Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Certain ABS systems rely on having the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) broadcast the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
over the bus network. To prevent problems of DTCs and other items related to the VIN broadcast, it is recommend that you
disconnect the ABS CAB (controller) temporarily when replacing the PCM. Once the PCM is replaced, write the VIN to the PCM
using a diagnostic scan tool. This is done from the engine main menu. Arrow over to the second page to "1. Miscellaneous". Select
"Check VIN" from the choices. Make sure it has the correct VIN entered before continuing. When the VIN is complete, turn off
the ignition key and reconnect the ABS module connector. This will prevent the setting of DTCs and other items associated with
the lack of a VIN detected when you turn the key ON after replacing the PCM.
CAUTION: Use a diagnostic scan tool to reprogram the new PCM with the vehicles original identification number (VIN) and the vehicles
original mileage. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
1. Position PCM (3) to vehicle.
