Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PMI method is used when a new, programmable module is installed in the vehicle. It is no longer necessary to command the diagnostic tool to gather module option content from the old module. The diagnostic tool (WDS only) automatically obtains any available module option content information from the old module during the vehicle ID routine that runs when the diagnostic tool is initially connected to the vehicle. It is important to connect the WDS to the vehicle and allow it to identify the vehicle and obtain configuration data prior to removing any modules.
