System Operation
PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically
downloaded from the original module and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from
the module being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter values that need
to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a strategy/calibration update is available.
It is important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to removing any modules. The
new module must be able to communicate with the scan tool in order to carry out PMI .
Module Programming
Module reprogramming (also referred to as "flashing") is a scan tool process which updates the strategy/calibration in a
module. Reprogramming a module with the same level of software does not improve module operation or repair a hardware
failure. Module reprogramming is automatically carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available.
Limit module reprogramming to circumstances where a published TSB procedure recommends doing so. Some modules
limit the number of times it can be reprogrammed.
A module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network while being reprogrammed. After the
reprogramming process, clear any network communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) which may have been set in
other modules.
Some modules are reprogrammed in coordination with other modules. Follow the IDS key cycling instructions carefully to
avoid reprogramming errors, including failure of programming one or more of the modules.
Programmable Parameters
Programmable parameters are customer preference items that may be modified by the dealer via the scan tool or in some
cases, modified by the customer following a procedure listed in the Owner's Literature. While many configuration options
may exist for a module, only a few of these options are programmable parameters. Some parameters must be changed in
multiple modules at the same time.
Some modules require a separate learning procedure be carried out if replaced as part of a repair procedure. For adaptive
learning and calibration instructions, refer to the specific module removal and installation procedures.
Vehicle identification block commonly stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN , tire size, axle ratio, and whether
or not the vehicle is equipped with cruise control.
Transmission Identification
NOTICE: If the solenoid body identification and strategy does not match the solenoid body information in the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.
The solenoid body has a unique strategy data file that must be downloaded to the PCM . There is a 7-digit solenoid body
identification and a 13-digit solenoid body strategy for each solenoid body. Any time a new solenoid body is installed or the
transaxle is installed, the scan tool must be used to get the solenoid body strategy data file and download it into the PCM .
If the PCM is replaced and the PCM data cannot be inhaled or exhaled, the solenoid body identification and solenoid body
strategy must be downloaded into the PCM .
As-Built Data
As-Built data is a VIN -specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the configuration from all modules is
downloaded and stored in the As-Built database. As-Built data does not reflect customer preference items that have been
changed from the default state. These items need to be changed using programmable parameters after the module is
configured.
It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This data may be accessed from the
technician service publication web site.
BCM As-built data shall be taken when a BCM is installed and used to configure the new BCM .
NOTE:The Body Control Module (BCM) and IPC have a unique procedure to set Car Configuration Parameters.
Configuration changes made will affect both modules. On the scan tool, first select Module Programming > Programmable
Parameters > Car Configuration Parameter(s) > Vehicle Configuration > Retrieve the Vehicle Configuration Data. Next
select Module Programming > Programmable Parameters > Car Configuration Parameter(s) > Vehicle Configuration >
Modify and Reinstate Vehicle Configuration Data. Change parameters as needed.
