PCM Programming (TDC Offset)
The PCM will automatically activate the TDC Offset program when the engine coolant is greater than 170°F (77°C). If the PCM is
not programmed with a TDC Offset, a P1214 will set. If the PCM and Fuel injection pump are replaced together, or the front cover
of the engine is replaced, the TDC offset will have to be “cleared” to allow the PCM to relearn the new value.
