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: 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.
Caution: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in the Preface section.
Important: You must inspect the following areas before
installing the PCM and insure that:
• There is no debris in the air filter element/PCM housing assembly, or
in the MAF/IAT sensor inlet screen that may distort the air flow. • There are no signs of damage to the air filter element/PCM housing assembly,
or to the intake air duct. If a problem is found, replace the component as necessary.
Important: If the PCM is being programmed using the Off-Board method, perform the programming before continuing with the steps listed below. Refer to the Off-Board procedure Service Programming System (SPS) in Programming.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the PCM connectors screws to 8 N·m
(71 lb in).
Important: You must properly install the intake air duct to the throttle body. An improperly installed, distorted, or damaged air filter or intake air duct may cause a DTC to set.
Tighten
Tighten the air element/PCM housing cover screws
to 4 N·m (35 lb in).
Tighten
Tighten the clamp to 3 N·m (27 lb in).
Important: The replacement PCM must be programmed.
