Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the original module and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a strategy/calibration update is available.
NOTE:
A module must be able to communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI. It is important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing any modules.
To carry out PMI, refer to Programmable Module Installation in this article.
