The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event be performed for a complete repair.
ECM Replacement
Warning: Replacement or reprogramming of the ECM, or replacement of the clutch pedal position sensor (CPPS) or clutch pedal requires that a CPPS learn procedure be performed. Failure to perform the CPPS
learn procedure may result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle or its components if the vehicle is in gear and the starter motor is accidentally engaged.
If the engine control module (ECM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed:
- ECM Reprogramming--Refer to
Service Programming System (SPS).
- Clutch pedal position sensor learn--Refer to
Clutch Pedal Position Sensor Learn.
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) Variation Learn--Refer to
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn for 3.7L engine or
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn for the 5.3L engine.
- The Throttle Learn procedure--Refer to
Throttle Learn.
- Heated oxygen (HO2S) sensor heater learn procedure using a scan tool
- Theft Deterrent--Refer to
Theft Deterrent Control Module Programming and Setup. The ECM will learn the incoming fuel continue password immediately upon receipt of a password message. Once a password message is received and a password is learned, a learn
procedure must be performed to change this password again. An ECM which has been previously installed in another vehicle will have learned the other vehicle's fuel continue password, and will require a learn procedure after programming to learn the current vehicle's
password.
- Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
ECM Reprogramming
If the ECM needs to be reprogrammed, refer to
Service Programming System (SPS).
Setup for Component Replacement
The replacement of some components will require a setup procedure for complete repair.
If any of the following components are replaced, a CKP Variation Learn Procedure must be performed. Refer to
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn for 3.7L engine.
• | Any engine repair that disturbs the CKP sensor or it's relationship with the crankshaft reluctor wheel |
⇒ | If the throttle body is replaced, a Throttle Learn procedure must be performed. Refer to
Throttle Learn. |
