Powertrain Control Module Programming and Setup 3.4L
                    
Programming and Setup Procedures
The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair.
PCM Replacement
If the powertrain control module (PCM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed:
- PCM Reprogramming--Refer to 
Service Programming System (SPS)
 .
 
- Crankshaft position (CKP) Variation Learn--Refer to 
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
 in Engine Controls.
 
- Theft Deterrent--Refer to 
Programming Theft Deterrent System Components
 in Theft Deterrent.
 
The PCM will learn the incoming fuel continue password immediately upon receipt of a password message.
Once a password message is received, and a password is learned, a learn procedure must be performed to change this password again. A PCM which has been previously installed in another vehicle will have learned the other vehicle's fuel continue password, and
will require a learn procedure after programming to learn the current vehicle's password.
- Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was replaced.
 
- Transmission Fluid Life Remaining--When available, use the scan tool to reset the Transmission Fluid Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was replaced.
 
PCM Reprogramming
- If the PCM needs to be reprogrammed, refer to 
Service Programming System (SPS)
 .
 
- Engine Oil Life Remaining--When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
 
- Transmission Fluid Life Remaining--When available, use the scan tool to reset the Transmission Fluid Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was replaced.
 
Important: After programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:
- Turn the ignition OFF for 30 seconds.
 
- Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF. 
 
- Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules.
 
- Clear all history DTCs.
 
Setup for Component Replacement
The replacement of some components will require a setup procedure for complete repair.
If any of the following components are replaced, a CKP Variation Learn Procedure must be performed. Refer to 
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
 in Engine Controls.
|     •  | Any engine repair that disturbs the CKP sensor or it's relationship with the crankshaft reluctor wheel |
