Powertrain Control Module

(PCM)

Service Precaution

NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector pins or
soldered components on the circuit board.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) 
Damage

Electronic components used in the control systems are
often designed to carry very low voltage.  Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge.  Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components.  By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000
volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically
charged.  The most common methods of charging are by
friction and by induction.  An example of charging by
friction is a person sliding across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object and
momentarily touches ground.  Charges of the same
polarity are drained off leaving the person highly charged
with the opposite polarity.  Static charges can cause
damage, therefore, it is important to use care when
handling and testing electronic components.

NOTE: To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:

f

Do not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.

f

Do not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.

f

Before removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

f

If the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, or while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.

NOTE: To prevent internal PCM damage, the ignition
must be in the “OFF” position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the PCM (for example: battery cable,
PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).

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.  This will allow positive identification of
PCM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle.  Do
not record this information on the metal PCM cover.

IMPORTANT:

The ignition should always be in the

“OFF” position in order to install or remove the PCM
connectors.

Service of the PCM should normally consist of either re-
placement of the PCM or EEPROM programming.  If the
diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced,
the PCM should be checked first to ensure it is the correct
part.  If it is, remove the faulty PCM and install the new
service PCM.
The service PCM EEPROM will not be programmed.
DTC P0601 indicates the check sum error.

Removal Procedure

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Block the wheels.
3. Remove the two screws attaching the rear console

and lift the upward rear console, then disconnect the
switch connector.

4. Remove the lower cluster assembly by pulling the

cover toward the rear.

5. Remove the transfer knob.
6. Remove the six screws attaching the upper console

and front console.

If the PCM is replaced, the new PCM will need to be
programmed.

EEPROM

General Description

The Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory that is
physically soldered within the PCM.  The EEPROM
contains program and calibration information that the
PCM needs to control powertrain operation.

EEPROM Programming

1. Step-up – Ensure that the following conditions have

been met:

f

The battery is fully charged.

f

The ignition is “ON.”

f

The Vehicle Interface Module cable connection at
the DLC is secure.

2. Program the PCM using the latest software matching

the vehicle.  Refer to up-to-date Techline equipment
user’s instructions.

3. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follows:

f

Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.

f

Check the Techline equipment for the latest
software version.

f

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

Functional Check

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