Pcm / TCM Flash PROGRAMING

This procedure will need to be done when one or more of the following situations are true:

  1. A vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been replaced.
  2. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set P1602 - PCM Not Programmed.
  3. An updated calibration or software release is available for either the PCM or TCM ECUs.

This procedure assumes that the wiTECH™ Vehicle Connection Interface (VCI) pod, StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® devices are configured to your dealership's network with either a wired or wireless connection. The wiTECH™ VCI pod, StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® must also be running at the latest operating system and software release level. For more help on how to network your StarSCAN® or StarMOBILE® reference the StarSCAN® / StarMOBILE® Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN® and StarMOBILE® Tools > Online Documentation' or at www.dcctools.com, under the Download Center. For the wiTECH™ VCI pod use the "HELP" tab in the wiTECH™ Diagnostic Application.
