Cause
PCM non-volatile memory may be reset. This typically occurs after running out of CNG, switching to gasoline then shutting down.
Correction
Reprogram the PCM with calibration operating system part number 52372987 or later.
The new calibrations will be released beginning with TIS satellite data update version 4.0 for 2004, which includes TECH2® update version 24.001, available April 2004. As always, make sure your TECH2® is updated with the latest software version.
