Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) Programming (3.1L & 3.4L)
- If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, the EEPROM in the PCM must be programmed. If EEPROM is not programmed, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set in the PCM.
- Ensure battery is fully charged. If battery is being charged, ensure battery charger is disconnected before performing EEPROM programming procedure.
- Ensure cable is properly connected on Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Perform EEPROM programming using the Techline equipment manufacturer's instructions and latest software applicable for the vehicle model.
- Once EEPROM is reprogrammed, perform powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See POWERTRAIN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Ensure engine is idling for one minute before checking for DTCs when performing powertrain OBD system check.
NOTE:
If EEPROM programming fails, ensure all electrical connections on PCM are okay. Check Techline for latest software. If EEPROM programming still fails, replace PCM.
