If configuration is not performed when the PCM is replaced with a new one, the vehicle specification information is not stored in the PCM and the system will not operate normally.
When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the vehicle specification information from the PCM before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the PCM. The vehicle specification information is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.

NOTE:

The PCM prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.
A new PCM does not store any vehicle specification information.
If the vehicle specification information PCM prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the configuration using As-Built data.
