Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PMI configuration method is used when a new programmable module, that needs to be configured, is installed on the vehicle. It is no longer necessary to command the diagnostic tool to gather module option content from the old module. The diagnostic tool 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. After the new programmable module is installed on the vehicle, use the diagnostic tool to carry out PMI on the new module. During the PMI routine the diagnostic tool attempts to program module option content information into the new module.
