Making Changes to the PCM Calibration

2007 Ford Fusion SEL, 2.3 Z, StandardSECTION Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, 2011 Ford Fusion, 2010 Mercury Milan, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: After the PCM is successfully reprogrammed, clear any TCM DTCs that may have been stored during reprogramming.

At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to changes made to the strategy or calibration after production or the need to reset the VID block because it has reached its limit. Refer to PCM/Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.
