Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

The PCM controls the engine for better fuel economy, emissions control, and failure mode detection and storage.

The PCM is on the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communications network. If one of the bus wires becomes short to ground or voltage, or if some but not all termination resistors are lost, communications can continue. Check circuits (P/LB) and (T/O) between the PCM 0140-175 and the DLC D-01. The total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms there is an open circuit in the SCP communications network, damage to the DLC D-01, damage to the PCM 0140-175, or a problem in the in-line connector.
