Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) Programming (4.3L)
- If VCM was replaced, the EEPROM in VCM must be programmed. If EEPROM is not programmed, a DTC will set.
- Ensure battery is fully charged. Ensure cable is properly connected on Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to ON position. Perform EEPROM programming using the Techline® equipment manufacturer's instructions and latest software applicable for vehicle model.
- Once EEPROM has been reprogrammed, CKP sensor variation learn procedure and password learn procedure must be performed. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR VARIATION LEARN PROCEDURE (2.2L & 4.3L) . See PASSLOCK® ANTI-THEFT LEARN PROCEDURE . Once CKP sensor variation learn procedure and password learn procedure are performed, perform Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See POWERTRAIN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If EEPROM programming fails, ensure all harness connections on VCM are okay. Check Techline® for latest software. If EEPROM programming still fails, replace VCM.
