To reset the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) on a Chevy Silverado, you can disconnect the negative battery cable and leave it off for about 15 minutes. This will clear any stored codes and reset the PCM. After the time has elapsed, reconnect the battery cable, ensuring a good connection, and start the vehicle to allow the PCM to recalibrate. Optionally, you can also use an OBD-II scanner to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
P1693 : DTC in companion module.You need to check for codes in other computers (pcm or ecm) and repair their causes and then this code will clear itself.P1693 : DTC in companion module.You need to check for codes in other computers (pcm or ecm) and repair their causes and then this code will clear itself.
To check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in the computer, turn the ignition on, then hold down the OFF and WARMER (for digital dash) or OFF and passenger-WARMER buttons (for analog dash) or OFF and "Info ^" buttons (if you have temperature dials) until all of the dash lights come on. The digital display will then show any codes stored. Be prepared to write them down. When it's done, you will probably see "PCM?" at this point use the fan speed up button to select pcm now it should say "PCM CODES" press the fan speed down button to scroll down to "CLEAR PCM CODES" press the fan speed up button and it should say "PCM CODES CLEAR" now turn off the ignition and your good to go.
To determine if the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is bad in a 1999 Mazda Millenia, check for common symptoms such as persistent check engine lights, erratic engine behavior, or failure to start. You can also use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes, which may indicate PCM issues. Additionally, inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion, as these can affect PCM performance. If other components are functioning properly and codes point to the PCM, it may need to be replaced.
To reset the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) on a 1999 Saturn, disconnect the negative battery cable and leave it disconnected for about 15 minutes. This allows the PCM to clear any stored trouble codes and resets its adaptive memory. After that, reconnect the battery cable, and your PCM will be reset. It's also a good idea to drive the vehicle for a while to allow the PCM to relearn its parameters.
Finally solved the problem .... PCM failed and destroyed the coils ... also new coils so whentrying a known good PCM had no spark
Need to know what the symptoms are and any codes it has.
To reset the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) code on a Lexus IS300, you can disconnect the car's battery by removing the negative terminal for about 15-30 minutes. This will clear any stored trouble codes. After reconnecting the battery, drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the PCM to recalibrate. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes directly from the vehicle's diagnostic system.
Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for 30 seconds. The PCM will reset.
