hi every one

i have issue with my PCM and need to replaced new PCM is very expensive so i decide to buy used one
the problem is they dont have the proper tools to do programming they suggest to replace PCM with security from old car

can i replace my PCM with used PCM in my Ford explorer 2008 and do online programing for it or must be new PCM ?

any body has guid line on how to do online programming i can arrange the ford IDS softwere tool with subscription

thanks
 






A locksmith or pats programming can get your truck running after swapping in a different computer (new or used). Now with a used one you'll need a Ford ids to rewrite the vin in the pcm so it matches the abs module. I don't think there is a single scanner on the market(snap on, autel ect) that can do this. It's possible Forscan might though.
