  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  2. Perform the normal vehicle identification procedure.
  3. Select "Module Programming", or with WDS or equivalent select "toolbox" and "module programming".
  4. Select "Programmable Module Installation".
  5. Select "PCM" and perform procedures according to directions on the WDS or equivalent screen.
    NOTE:
    • If the PCM is replaced with a new one without performing "Programmable Module Installation" procedure, the PCM stores DTC P0602 and illuminates the MIL. This is because the vehicle information was not programmed in the PCM. After completing the "Programmable Module Installation" procedure, various U**** DTCs are stored, which is normal.
