Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming Procedure

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.

Important: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.

1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine oil life.



2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the left strut brace.
4. Remove the air cleaner housing cover.
5. Remove the PCM.
6. Disconnect the connectors from the PCM.
7. Remove the PCM from engine compartment.
8. If the PCM is being replaced, remove the PCM access cover to access the knock sensor module.

Knock Sensor (KS) module. Refer to Knock Sensor Module Replacement .

1. If a new PCM is being installed, install the KS module from the original PCM. Refer to Knock Sensor Module Replacement .
2. Install the access cover on PCM.
3. Connect the connectors to PCM.
4. Install PCM into the air cleaner assembly.
5. Install the air cleaner assembly cover.
6. Negative battery cable.

If a new PCM is being installed, program the EEPROM. Then the PCM will need to learn the crankshaft variation. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming

1. Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:

•	The battery is fully charged.

•	The ignition is ON.

•	The Techline equipment cable connection at the Data Link Connector (DLC) is secure.

2. If the PCM fails to program, check the Techline equipment for the latest software version.
3. Attempt to program the PCM. If the PCM still cannot be programmed properly, proceed as follows:

3.1.	Ensure all PCM connections are secure.

3.2.	Check the Techline equipment for the latest software version.

3.3.	Attempt to program the PCM. If the PCM still cannot be programmed properly, the PCM must be replaced. The replacement PCM must be programmed.

1. Perform On-Board Diagnostic System Check.
2. Start engine and run for one minute.
3. Scan for DTCs using the scan tool.
4. 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:

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.

1. Set the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and allow engine coolant temperature to reach at least 70°C (158°F).
3. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
4. Select the crankshaft position variation learn procedure from the scan tool special functions list.
5. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool. If the procedure is terminated, refer to Important above for instructions.
6. Observe DTC status for DTC P1336.
7. 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.
