Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) Programming
- If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, the EEPROM in the PCM must be programmed. If EEPROM is not programmed, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set in the PCM.
- Ensure battery is fully charged. If battery is being charged, ensure battery charger is disconnected before performing EEPROM programming procedure.
- Ensure cable is properly connected on Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Perform EEPROM programming using the Techline equipment manufacturer's instructions and latest software applicable for the vehicle model.
- Once EEPROM has been reprogrammed, perform powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See POWERTRAIN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Ensure engine is idling for one minute before checking for DTCs when performing powertrain OBD system check. Also, after EEPROM has been reprogrammed, the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor variation learn procedure must be performed using proper procedure.
NOTE:
If EEPROM programming fails, ensure all electrical connections on PCM are okay. Check Techline for latest software. If EEPROM programming still fails, replace PCM.
