Programmable Module Installation (PMI)

The programmable module installation (PMI) method is used when a new programmable module is installed on the vehicle. It is no longer necessary to command the WDS to gather module option content from the old module. The WDS automatically obtains any available module option content information from the old module during the vehicle ID routine that runs when the diagnostic tool is initially connected to the vehicle. It is important that you connect WDS to the vehicle and allow it to identify the vehicle and obtain configuration data prior to removing any modules.
