Specifications:
| Product Grade | Standard Replacement |
| FAQ_Q1 | What's the difference between an ECM and a PCM? |
| FAA_A1 | "ECM" stands for Electronic Control Module. "PCM" stands for Powertrain Control Module. Both the ECM and PCM control the engine; however, the PCM also has control over the transmission. |
| FAQ_Q2 | Do I have to transfer anything from my original ECM/PCM? |
| FAA_A2 | Some GM applications have a knock module that must be transferred to the replacement module. Some older Ford applications have a calibration module that must be transferred to the replacement module. |
| FAQ_Q3 | Do all Ford vehicles require a Passive Anti-Theft System (P.A.T.S) reset? |
| FAA_A3 | No, not all Ford vehicles require PATS reset. Check the PATS chart found on the O.E. Manufacturer's Service site for your application. |
| FAQ_Q4 | The replacement PCM for a Ford vehicle won't start the vehicle. Why? |
| FAA_A4 | Ensure that the PCM was properly flash programmed for the vehicle. Also note whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford "passive anti-theft system", which requires an on-car relearn. |
| FAQ_Q5 | What steps should I take to ensure the original PCM is causing the issue? |
| FAA_A5 | Prior to replacing the original ECM/PCM, the installer should determine what caused the original to fail. Common causes of failures are: poor grounds and power, a bad wiring harness and short-circuited solenoids/relays. |
| FAQ_Q6 | Do GM vehicles have a passive anti-theft system? |
| FAA_A6 | Yes, most GM vehicles have a VATS, Pass Key or Pass Lock anti-theft system. |
| FAQ_Q7 | Do I need a scanner to reset the anti-theft system |
