Powertrain Control Module Programming (Except Ram Pickup 2500 & 3500 - Gasoline, Ram Van & Ram Wagon)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 120 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, 2002 Saturn SL, and 2002 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: ECM/PCM programming for Sebring Coupe and Stratus Coupe is not available from manufacturer.

NOTE: On Concorde, Intrepid, 300M and some Durango models, the PCM and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) are incorporated into one control module and may be referred to as the New Generation Controller (NGC). The NGC PCM has 4 harness connectors. After replacing the NGC PCM, reprogram pinion factor and perform shift quality quick learn procedures.

NOTE: If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into the PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being set in the Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module, Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) and Air Bag Control Module (ACM).

NOTE: If replacing both PCM and SKIM at the same time, first program PCM, then program SKIM. Replace all ignition keys and program them to new SKIM.

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under left side of instrument panel. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, then MISC. Select PCM REPLACED (GAS ENGINE). Obtain 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) from vehicle owner or manufacturer.
NOTE: If 3 attempts are made incorrectly to enter PIN, secured access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit lock out mode, leave ignition switch in ON position for one hour. Ensure battery voltage is maintained with battery charger, if necessary.
Enter secured access mode by entering PIN code for vehicle. Select ENTER to update PCM VIN. SKIM will now send secret key data to PCM.
Select BACK to go to SELECT SYSTEM menu. Select ENGINE, MISC then SRI MEMORY CHECK. Scan tool will display IS ODOMETER READING BETWEEN XX AND XX?
Select YES or NO. If NO is selected, scan tool will display ENTER ODOMETER READING. Enter odometer reading from instrument panel odometer and press ENTER.
