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
FAA_A7	Not necessarily. There is a 30-minute manual procedure that can be done without a scanner. Refer to your O.E. manufacturer’s approved service manual for details.
FAQ_Q8	Do all Chrysler Power Train Control Modules (PCM) need VIN programming?
FAA_A8	Chrysler models 1996 and newer will need to be VIN programmed.
FAQ_Q9	What are the most common symptoms of a bad PCM?
FAA_A9	Check Engine Light staying on after resetting, engine turning off for no reason, loss of spark, loss of fuel injection, loss of pulse on fuel pump, intermittent starting problems.
