Removal Procedure
- Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine oil life.
- Record the preset radio stations.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the powertrain control module (PCM) J1 and J2 harness connectors.
- Release the 2 retaining clips on the forward edge of the PCM mounting brackets.
- Remove the PCM by lifting the forward edge of the PCM and slide towards the front of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100%. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
