Vehicle Identification (VID) Block
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block.
The PCM VID block contains the factory settings for the configurable modules unless the PCM is flashed with a new calibration, in which case some PCM parameters may be modified.
