Safeguards

  1. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.

    Always disconnect the battery cable prior to service or replacement of EEC-IV or EEC-V systems electronic engine controls.

  1. Follow Diagnostic Procedures as outlined in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual OBDI or OBDII.

  1. Disconnect electronic engine controls from wire harness before measuring for continuity, resistance or energizing with a B+ source.

  1. Never measure voltage or resistance directly at the powertrain control module.
