hello
have a 2008 ford escape with a bad PCM pn: 8L8A-12A650A-ALB and catchcode SJE1.

the replacement PCM is : 8L8A-12A650-BEA catchcode SVE0.

the big question is: will the second PCM fit and start the car normally ?

FYI i have the ford dealer programming device.

thanks

 

anyone??

 

I think your best bet would be to check with a Ford dealer parts dept.
They do change specs in between model years and it could be a gamble.

 

installed the new pcm, programmed 2 keys but the THEFT indicator is solid ON U2510 status 60, help

 

I suspect the replacement PCM is refusing to accept the new vehicle you installed it in.

I also believe you have missed a few steps in setting up the replacement PCM.

A lot of the info you need will probably only be available at the dealership location.

 

I'm already have the as built data, but one more thing still ,has to be done but forgotten, parameter reset on pats programming.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks.

 

never sucess, what a loss, they offered 600$ if i start her up.

im pretty sure it was an instrument cluster problem since the keys were programmed and THEFT is solid for one minutes then flashed twice then once respectively.

did IC reprogramming, etc, and the problem went worse because after i did parameter reset in PATS SECURITY, the old PCM wont start the engine as the new pcm, with the same THEFT light activity above.

big :bang: :wall: :doh:

 

did you re-program the replacement pcm?

 

What Ford tool are you using?

 

I reprogrammed the PCM, ic, using ford VCMII device and IDS software.
