Removal and Installation
- If servicing the PCM, connect the scan tool to the vehicle. Allow the scan tool to identify the vehicle and obtain configuration data.
- All programmable module information will automatically be retrieved by the VCM.
- Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
- Disconnect the 3 PCM electrical connectors.
- Remove the 2 stud bolts and the PCM.
- To install, tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).

NOTE:
Refer to the
INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS
for correct Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) hook-up procedure.
NOTE:
If the Instrument Cluster (IC) or the PCM is being replaced (or both), the parameters must be reset in both modules or the vehicle will experience a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) no-start. This will occur even if the vehicle is not equipped with PATS. For additional information, refer to Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Parameter Reset in
ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS)
.
NOTE:
If the Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure was not successful in downloading the data from the vehicles original PCM, then the oil life data of the vehicle is lost. If this occurs, and the oil life cannot be determined through service history or customer interview, it is recommended the vehicle engine oil and filter be changed and the oil change minder reset.
