Installation and Setup
Installation is straightforward for a DIY mechanic or any professional technician. The PCM is typically located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under or near the battery. After disconnecting the battery, simply unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and install the new one in its place. Once the new module is connected and the battery is reconnected, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools. In some cases, a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE relearn) may be required with a capable scan tool to clear a P1336 trouble code, ensuring the engine runs its absolute best.
