WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the PCM and the 2 nuts.
    • Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
  2. Connect the 3 PCM electrical connectors.
  3. Position the ground wire terminals and install the stud bolt.
    • Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
  4. Install the PCM wiring harness retainer nut.
    • Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
  5. NOTE: If a new PCM is installed, the parameters must be reset in both the PCM and the instrument cluster module or the vehicle will experience a PATS no-start. This will occur even if the vehicle is not equipped with PATS. PATS vehicles and non-PATS vehicles have parameters in the instrument cluster module and the PCM and they both must be reset whenever a new PCM is installed. For additional information on PATS, refer to ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) article.
  6. Restore the module configurations for the instrument cluster module and the PCM. Carry out the module configuration restore steps of the Programmable Module Installation procedure. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
