Before condemning your PCM, always verify your vehicle has a fully charged battery (12.4V or higher) and that all battery terminals and primary engine ground straps are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Low voltage or a poor ground can cause communication errors and symptoms that mimic a faulty PCM, leading to a costly misdiagnosis.
