Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The center of the engine control (EC) system is a microprocessor called the PCM. The PCM receives input from sensors and other electronic components (switches, relays). Based on the information received and programmed into its memory, the PCM generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids and actuators. There are several different types of PCMs in use for this model year. Refer to the VEHICLE PCM APPLICATION TABLE below for PCM types and their applications.
