the pcm

krispy · June 23rd, 2008, 02:52 PM

well my car threw the code p 0602 which says to replace the pcm(computer) so i called up a junkyard and they said i could get one for 120 bucks....would i need to take it to ford to program it or anything?? thanks

ur 2000 mustang needs a new computer already? jeeze, i would do some more investigating but maybe you just got a bad one. But, as long as its from the same body style, i.e. 99-04, same drivetrain (auto or 5speed) and same engine (3.8 or 3.9), i dont think you will need any programming.

dgt_mustang · June 23rd, 2008, 06:10 PM

if its for your year and your car, you should be fine, idk about that whole wide span of 94-04 cause some of those had options through the computer that yours might not have.

uhh unless you had a nasty short that might have fried it, or you were in a wreck I would check and make sure everything is plugged in correctly also take off your neg battery cable for 15 mins let the code reset and test it again

Wont the PATS system be all screwed up if he replaces the computer?

krispy · June 23rd, 2008, 09:18 PM

alright ill retry its weird as hell this code didnt show up when i posted i had lean codes and then i looked in recon with sniper and it showed a few codes and this being one ill try disconnecting and reply

krispy · June 23rd, 2008, 10:21 PM

k tried disconnecting bat....a no go...i changed the tune back to stock no go...the code still popping up so i guess it needs replacing

dgt_mustang · June 24th, 2008, 11:51 AM

Damn that sucks, didnt jump anyone elses car off with your car did you?

krispy · June 24th, 2008, 03:01 PM

nope i didnt im just as stumped as everyone else to why it failed

dgt_mustang · June 24th, 2008, 03:54 PM

walk under any ladders? beat up any kittens? maybe burn down some dog houses or something?

GreenFaleen · June 24th, 2008, 06:30 PM

that code is comming up cause you have a reflash on the computer. reset to stock drive for 75 miles then let autozone check it that will give you the code thats causeing the CEL if your PCM needed replacing youd have a lot more trouble than a CEL

dgt_mustang · June 24th, 2008, 06:45 PM

i never thought of that......how he would obviously have more problems than just a light if the computer that controls the car is bat......huh. +1 rep for that one.

Stang Tech · June 24th, 2008, 11:34 PM

i would recommend to do wat GreenFaleen recommend and then unplug your negitive battery cable and leave it off for 20 min. then drive the vehicle for some miles and then have the pcm checked for codes. last option is what is called a HARD RESET you uplug the postive with the neg cable still on the battery and touch the postive cable to the neg cable making sure it is not touching the postive post of the battery. This is some thing we do at work to fix PCM and TCM problems.
