EEPROM Data Following PCM Replacement

Since the information contained in the EEPROM is vehicle specific, the EEPROM should reset if the PCM is installed in another vehicle.

When this reset occurs, the following data will be erased or reset:
^ TP sensor learn. The TP sensor learn can be relearned by ensuring the throttle is closed and turning the ignition ON for 30 seconds. Do not move the throttle or brake pedals during the TP learn.
^ Transaxle adapts (shifts, steady state, and garage shifts). The transaxle adapts will be relearned during normal Operation.
^ Transaxle oil life - The transaxle oil life index can be reset using the scan tool.
^ Engine oil life - The engine oil life index can be reset using the scan tool.
^ PCM odometer reading

In addition, the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) password and Crankshaft Position Sensor Error (CASE) values will be incorrect if the PCM is installed in another vehicle. This results in the following actions:
^ Incorrect VTD password will cause the PCM to disable the starter, and the fuel injectors.
^ Incorrect CASE values may cause DTC P0300 to set.
