Incorrect PCM Programming Chevrolet Suburban K1500 GMT800

Incorrect PCM Programming

  1. There are only a few situations when reprogramming a PCM is appropriate, such as the following: A new service PCM is installed. A PCM from another vehicle is installed. Revised software or calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
  2. Verify that the PCM contains the correct software or calibration. If incorrect programming is found, reprogram the PCM with the most current software or calibration. See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(/chevrolet/suburban-k1500/gmt800-2000-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-self-diagnostics-81l__powertrain-control-module) under PROGRAMMING.
