| FAQ_Q1 | What’s the difference between an ecm and a pcm? |
| FAA_A1 | “ecm” stands for electronic control module. “pcm” stands for powertrain control module. both the ecm and pcm control the engine; however, the pcm also has control over the transmission. |
| FAQ_Q2 | Do i have to transfer anything from my original ecm/pcm? |
| FAA_A2 | Some gm applications have a knock module that must be transferred to the replacement module. some older ford applications have a calibration module that must be transferred to the replacement module. |
| FAQ_Q3 | Do all ford vehicles require a passive anti-theft system (p.a.t.s) reset? |
| FAA_A3 | No, not all ford vehicles require pats reset. check the pats chart found on the o.e. manufacturer’s service site for your application. |
| FAQ_Q4 | The replacement pcm for a ford vehicle won’t start the vehicle. why? |
| FAA_A4 | Ensure that the pcm was properly flash programmed for the vehicle. also note whether the vehicle is equipped with the ford 'passive anti-theft system', which requires an on-car relearn. |
| FAQ_Q5 | What steps should i take to ensure the original pcm is causing the issue? |
| FAA_A5 | Prior to replacing the original ecm/pcm, the installer should determine what caused the original to fail. common causes of failures are: poor grounds and power, a bad wiring harness and short-circuited solenoids/relays. |
| FAQ_Q6 | Do gm vehicles have a passive anti-theft system? |
| FAA_A6 | Yes, most gm vehicles have a vats, pass key or pass lock anti-theft system. |
| FAQ_Q7 | Do i need a scanner to reset the anti-theft system |
| FAA_A7 | Not necessarily. there is a 30-minute manual procedure that can be done without a scanner. refer to your o.e. manufacturer’s approved service manual for details. |
| FAQ_Q8 | Do all chrysler power train control modules (pcm) need vin programming? |
| FAA_A8 | Chrysler models 1996 and newer will need to be vin programmed. |
| FAQ_Q9 | What are the most common symptoms of a bad pcm? |
| FAA_A9 | Check engine light staying on after resetting, engine turning off for no reason, loss of spark, loss of fuel injection, loss of pulse on fuel pump, intermittent starting problems. |
