Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming PCM Service
Notice: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM,
do not touch the connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
Service of the PCM should normally consist of either replacement
of the PCM or EEPROM programming. If the diagnostic procedures call for PCM
Replacement, check the PCM first to see if it is the correct part. If the
PCM is faulty, remove it and install the new service PCM.
The new service PCM will not be programmed. You must program the new
PCM. DTC P0602 indicates the EEPROM is not programmed or has malfunctioned.
Notice: Do not touch the connector pins or soldered components on the circuit
board in order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the PCM.
Notice: Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the PCM connectors
and disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the PCM (battery cable, PCM
pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal PCM damage.
Important: When replacing the production PCM with a service PCM (controller), it
is important to transfer the broadcast code and production PCM number to the
service PCM label. Do not record on PCM cover. This will allow positive identification
of PCM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle.
Notice: Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the PCM connectors
and disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the PCM (battery cable, PCM
pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal PCM damage.
Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the PCM from the mounting hardware.
- Disconnect the harness connectors from the PCM.
- Remove the PCM from the engine compartment.
- If the PCM is being replaced, remove the KS module for installation
in the new PCM.
Installation Procedure
- If you are Installing a new PCM, install the KS module from the original PCM
into the new PCM.
- Connect the harness connectors to the PCM.
- Position and install the PCM into the vehicle.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- If you are installing a new PCM, program the new PCM EEPROM.
EEPROM Programming
- Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
• | The battery is fully charged. |
• | The Vehicle Interface Module cable connection at the DLC is secure. |
- Program the PCM using the latest software matching the vehicle.
Refer to up-to-date Techline equipment user's instructions.
- If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follows:
• | Ensure that all PCM connections are OK. |
• | Check the Techline equipment for the latest software version. |
• | Attempt to program the PCM. If the PCM still cannot be programmed
properly, replace the PCM. You must program the replacement PCM. |
Functional Check
- Perform the On-Board Diagnostic System Check.
- Start the engine and the engine run for one minute.
- Use the scan tool in order to scan for the DTCs.
- If DTC P0325 sets, the KS module is not fully seated, is missing,
or is malfunctioning.
Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming CKP Variation Learn
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure
The crankshaft position system variation compensating values are stored
in the PCM non-volatile memory after a learn procedure has been performed.
If the actual crankshaft position system variation is not within the crankshaft
position system variation compensating values stored in the PCM, DTC P0300
may set (refer to Diagnostic Aids
for DTC P0300).
The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure should be performed
if any of the following conditions are true:
• | The PCM has been replaced. |
• | The PCM has been reprogrammed. |
• | The engine has been replaced. |
• | The crankshaft has been replaced. |
• | The crankshaft harmonic balancer has been replaced. |
• | The crankshaft position sensor has been replaced. |
Important: The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
be inhibited if engine coolant temperature is less than 70°C (158°F).
Allow the engine to warm to at least 70°C (158°F) before attempting
the crankshaft position system variation learn procedure.
The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
be inhibited if any powertrain DTCs other than DTC P1336 are set before or
during the crankshaft position system variation learn procedure. Diagnose
and repair any DTCs if set.
The crankshaft position system variation learn function will be inhibited
if the PCM detects a malfunction involving the camshaft position signal circuit,
the 3X reference circuit, or the 18X reference circuit.
- Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels.
- Start the engine and allow engine coolant temperature to reach
at least 70°C (158°F).
- Turn OFF the ignition switch and all accessories.
- Select the crankshaft position variation learn procedure with
the scan tool.
- Proceed as instructed by the scan tool. If the procedure is terminated,
refer to Important
above for instructions.
- Observe DTC status for DTC P1336.
- If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 ran and passed, the
crankshaft position system variation learn procedure is complete. If the scan
tool indicates DTC P1336 failed or not run, check for other DTCs. If no DTCs
other than P1336 are set, repeat the crankshaft position system variation
learn procedure as necessary.
