  8. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Air Bag Control Module (ACM). If vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must be updated to enable start.
