SUBJECT

Generic Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Procedure

OVERVIEW

This bulletin involves programming a generic PCM with software using the StarSCAN.

MODELS

DISCUSSION

Replacement PCM's will require programming utilizing the StarSCAN. The PCM will not operate the engine until it is programmed. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set - "not programmed".

CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The module can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
