• Q: How to replace or program the Engine Control Module while preventing electrostatic discharge damage on 2000 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: Before you replace or program the pcm always take the necessary precaution of avoiding any contact with the connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. Check that the pcm part is the correct one before continuing with replacement procedures following diagnostic results. Install the new service pcm after removing the faulty unit because you must program it since it arrives in unprogrammed state. The pcm shows dtc p0602 while indicating both an improper or defective eeprom configuration. The ignition should always be switched off before working with pcm connectors or disconnecting power sources including Battery Cable, pcm pigtail, pcm Fuse and jumper cables because it protects the internal components from damage. During a production pcm to service pcm replacement ensure the broadcast code and production pcm number gets written onto the service pcm label for future identification of the component throughout its service duration. Starting the pcm removal process requires Battery Cable negative disconnection followed by unmounting the pcm from its hardware before disconnecting all the harness connectors to finally bring the pcm outside the engine compartment. Installation requires users to attach harness connectors to the pcm, place and mount the pcm in the vehicle before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable and applying eeprom programming to new pcm units.
