EEPROM

CAUTION:
The EEPROM is soldered to the COMPUTER and cannot be serviced separately. Reprogramming of EEPROM information is necessary when replacing a COMPUTER, or when changing the engine and/or transaxle calibrations. Failure to do this will cause the vehicle to have a no start or poor running condition.

It is essential that a replacement COMPUTER be reprogrammed with the correct VIN, option content, tire size, and calibration information. Reprogramming of the EEPROM is only possible with the Service Stall System (SSS) hardware available at authorized dealer locations. Check with a dealer before performing COMPUTER replacement or EEPROM reprogramming.


DESCRIPTION:
The term EEPROM is defined as Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) in the COMPUTER. The EEPROM stores vehicle information such as engine and transaxle calibrations, vehicle identification number, programmable vehicle option content and MALF history. Vehicle information stored on the EEPROM has a major effect on how the vehicle will operate.
