Updating the SLX PCM
(Supersedes 99-019, dated August 7, 2000)
Updated information is shown by asterisks and black bars.
The procedures in this service bulletin will be used and referenced in other service bulletins.
PCMs (powertrain control modules) in 1996 and later SLXs are programmable. The tool used to reprogram (update) SLX PCMs is a portable
programming device called the Smart Cable.
When correctly programmed, the Smart Cable can read an SLX's current PCM broadcast code, decide if the code is correct and, if needed, update the
PCM with another code. You can reprogram the Smart Cable using your DCS workstation.
