DISCUSSION:
Mopar® is currently phasing out pre-programmed PCMs for the vehicles listed. New
modules will no longer be pre-programmed when received from Mopar®. Replacement of
future PCMs will require programming utilizing the DRBIII® and TechCONNECT. The PCM
will not operate the engine until it is programmed. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
set - “not programmed”.
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a
generic PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is
selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a
different calibration. The module can only be reprogrammed to a more
recent version of that calibration.

NOTE: **Certain early built JR vehicles may not utilize a Generic Powertrain Control
Module. These vehicle are identified by the number of connectors on the
Powertrain Control Module. Modules using only 2 connectors are
non-generic and are shipped to your dealership pre-programmed. No
software programming is required in these situations.**

Scan Tool (DRBIII®)
CH7000A/7001A
J1962 Cable with red DRBIII® connector
TechCONNECT Workstation
NOTE: An updated J1962 cable has been released. This cable has a red colored
connector at the DRBIII® connection. Use this cable whenever a flash is
being performed.
NOTE: The DRBIII® Emulator available in the wiTECH Diagnostic Application may
also be used in the event a DRBIII® is unavailable.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE: If vehicle is a DAKOTA, then the ABS CAB module connector MUST be
disconnected prior to performing this Repair Procedure. The CAB module
and the PCM are connected at the same diagnostic connector pin (Pin #9).
Turn ignition switch to the OFF position, disconnect the CAB module
connector, and reprogram the PCM per the Repair Procedure. When
reprogramming is complete turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
connect the CAB module connector, and then check for any erroneous
DTC's. If the PCM becomes “locked” during reprogramming because the ABS
CAB module connnector was not disconnected, then the PCM may be
recovered by following the procedure in this NOTE.
NOTE: Whenever a controller is programmed, the software in the DRBIII®; must be
programmed with the latest revision level available.
NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted and
then follow the directions on the DRBIII®.
1. Before beginning the reprogramming procedure, remove any old flash reprogramming
files from the DRBIII® memory. To clear the memory from the MAIN MENU power up
the DRBIII® and then:
a. Simultaneously press the “MORE” and “YES” keys.
b. A screen will appear requesting a “COLD BOOT”.
c. Follow the on screen instructions by selecting the “F4” key.
d. When the DRB III® reboots to the MAIN MENU, proceed to Step 2.
2. With the ignition switch in the “RUN” position, determine the original part number of the
PCM currently in the vehicle. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. "DRBIII® Standalone"
b. "1998 - 2004 Diagnostics"
c. "All (Except Below)"
d. “Engine”
e. “Module Display”
f. Record the first ten (10) characters of the “PCM part #” on the repair order for later
reference.
-7-
18-042-14
NOTE: If the PCM is not operational, the part number can be obtained from the label
on the old controller. If the label on the controller is not legible, proceed to
next step.
3. Page back to the “Main Menu”
4. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with SKIM. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. “DRBIII Standalone”
b. “1998 - 2004 Diagnostics”
c. “All”
d. “System Monitor”
e. “J1850 Module Scan”
f. Look for “SKIM” in the list of modules.
5. If the vehicle is not equipped with SKIM then proceed to step 6. If the vehicle is
equipped with SKIM obtain the vehicle Personal Identification Number (PIN) before
continuing with step 6. This information is available from one of the following:
a. The original selling invoice.
b. **The DealerCONNECT system under the “Service” or “Parts” tabs - select “Key
Codes”.**
c. **By contacting the Customer Assistance Center (CAC) at 1-800-992-1997.**
CAUTION: Failure to install the SKIM pin number into the module after flashing the
PCM will cause a start and stall condition.
6. Replace the PCM using the appropriate generic control module. Refer to the service
information available in TechCONNECT or the appropriate service manual in Section
8E, Electronic Control Modules, Powertrain Control Module, Removal/Installation.
7. Open the hood, install a battery charger and verify battery state is above 11.5 volts.
8. Connect the DRBIII® to TechCONNECT and the vehicle. Open TechTOOLS and
verify that the "DRBIII® Status: Connected" message is in the upper right corner of the
TechTOOLS screen.
9. TechTOOLS should automatically populate the VIN in the “Vehicle Criteria” area and
the available updates. If not, manually enter the VIN then TechTOOLS will populate
the available updates.
10. Select the correct calibration.
11. Select the “Download/Update” button.
12. Monitor the "Flash Download/Update Progress" window on the TechCONNECT and
follow the instructions on TechCONNECT/DRBIII®. When the flash process is
completed, proceed to next step.
13. Enter the VIN in the PCM. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. “DRBIII Standalone”
b. “1998 - 2004 Diagnostics”
c. “All”
d. ”Engine”
e. “Miscellaneous”
f. “Check VIN”
g. If the vehicle is not equipped with SKIM proceed to step 20h. If the vehicle is
equipped with SKIM follow the directions on the DRBIII®. When the VIN and SKIM
key has been programmed, proceed to step 20.
h. Enter the VIN as requested by the DRBIII®.
14. Update the PCM mileage. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. "DRBIII® Standalone"
b. "1998 - 2004 Diagnostics"

a. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, proceed to step 24.
b. If the vehicle is equipped with a non-turbo engine and manual transmission, it is not
necessary to set the pinion factor. Proceed to step 24.
c. If the vehicle is equipped with a Turbo engine and manual transmission, proceed to
step 23.
16. On vehicles equipped with a Turbo engine and manual transmission, set the Pinion
Factor. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. "DRBIII® Standalone"
b. "1998 - 2004 Diagnostics"
c. "All (Except Below)"
d. “Engine”
e. "Miscellaneous"
f. “Pinion Factor”
g. Select the correct tire size and then select “Page Back” to exit.
h. Proceed to step 24.
17. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, set the Pinion Factor. Using the
DRBIII® select:
a. "DRBIII® Standalone"
b. "1998 - 2004 Diagnostics"
c. "All (Except Below)"
d. “Transmission”
e. “Transmission Module”
f. “Miscellaneous”
g. “Pinion Factor”
h. Select the correct tire size and then select “Page Back” to exit.
i. Enter “Quick Learn” and then follow the instructions on the DRBIII®.
NOTE: Due to the PCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other modules
(TCM, BCM, MIC, SKIM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so equipped. Some DTC's
may cause the MIL to illuminate. Check all modules using “Module Scan”,
record the DTC's, and erase these DTC's prior to returning the vehicle to the
customer. Erase any DTC's in the PCM only after all other modules have had
their DTC's erased.
POLICY:
Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
TIME ALLOWANCE:
Refer to Quick Labor Operations or the appropriate Labor Operation Time Schedule
manual.
