Pcm Replacement

NOTE: When using Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) 1551 scan tool, follow manufacturer's instructions for operation. VAG 1551 scan tool is necessary to perform adaptation of throttle valve control module to PCM.
NOTE: It is only necessary to perform this procedure when installing a NEW PCM in vehicle.
  1. PCM is located in left rear corner of engine compartment inside electronics box. Code PCM. See PCM CODING . After coding PCM, verify no DTCs are stored in memory. Ensure throttle valve is in closed throttle position.
  2. Connect VAG 1551 scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Following manufacturer's instructions, access Basic Setting 60 information using VAG 1551 scan tool. After confirming correct VAG 1551 scan tool display, "adaptation" will begin with ignition on and engine off.
  3. PCM will learn the closed throttle position, Wide Open Throttle (WOT), and other positions of throttle valve control module. PCM will store these values in permanent memory. Vehicle may idle unevenly and there may be a temporary loss of driveability until PCM has completed a learning process. PCM will not complete learn function if a DTC is stored in memory.
  4. Using VAG 1551, generate a PCM readiness code. A PCM readiness code resets 8 specific values to zero. Follow scan tool prompts for generating a PCM readiness code.
