DISCUSSION

CAUTION: Updating the PCM software or replacing the PCM on a vehicle with an incorrect replacement engine will result in a no-start condition which can not be undone.

If the engine has been replaced (numbers do not match) do not perform a PCM flash or replace the PCM, unless it is a certified MOPAR engine built specifically for this vehicle application. PCM update/replacement can not be completed on a vehicle with an incorrect replacement engine until the vehicle is returned to the original equipment configuration. Confirm that the last eight digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) matches the engine identification number before proceeding with PCM software updates or PCM replacement. The engine identification number (last eight digits of the VIN) is stamped on the bottom rear of the engine near the transmission (Fig. 1 ).
