PCM Removal and Installation: Removal

NOTE:

Make sure the HDS or the MVCI has the latest HDS software version.
If you are replacing the PCM after substituting a known-good PCM, reinstall the original PCM, then do this procedure.
If you are removing or substituting the PCM, skip the procedures of READ DATA (Engine Oil Life).

READ DATA (Engine Oil Life) - Select (USA and Canada Models)

1. Select the PGM-FI system with the HDS.

2. Select the REPLACE PCM MENU, then select READ DATA, and follow the screen prompts.

NOTE:

Doing this step copies (READS) the engine oil life data from the original PCM so you can later download (WRITES) them into the new PCM.
If the READ DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.

SCS - Short

1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
