Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming PCM Replacement
Notice: In order to prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge damage to the PCM,
Do Not touch the connector pins or the 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 the PCM to be replaced, PCM should be checked first to
see if it is the correct part. If it is, remove the faulty PCM and install
the new service 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, 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.
THE SERVICE PCM EEPROM WILL NOT BE PROGRAMMED. DTC P0602 indicates the
EEPROM is not programmed or has malfunctioned.
Removal Procedure
- Negative battery cable.
- Engine coolant reservoir.
- PCM mounting hardware
- Connectors from PCM.
- PCM from engine compartment.
- PCM access cover.
Knock Sensor (KS) module. Refer to
Knock Sensor Module Replacement
.
Installation Procedure
- If a new PCM is being installed, install the KS module from the
original PCM. Refer to
Knock Sensor Module Replacement
.
- Access cover on PCM.
- Connectors to PCM.
- PCM to mounting bracket underhood
- Engine Coolant reservoir.
- Negative battery cable.
If a new PCM is being installed, program the EEPROM.
EEPROM Programming
- Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
• | The Vehicle Interface Module (VIM) cable connection at the Data
Link Connector (DLC) is secure. |
- If the PCM fails to program, 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. The replacement PCM must be programmed.
Functional Check
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic System Check.
- Start engine and run for one minute.
- Scan for DTCs using the scan tool.
- If DTC P0325 sets, the KS module is not fully seated, is missing,
or is faulty.
Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming CKP 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 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 24X reference circuit.
- Set the parking brake.
- Start the engine and allow engine coolant temperature to reach
at least 70°C (158°F).
- Turn OFF the ignition switch.
- Select the crankshaft position variation learn procedure from
the scan tool special functions list.
- Follow the instructions displayed on 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.
