Installation should be the removal process

Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Locate PCM. See PCM LOCATION table. Remove any necessary components to gain access to PCM. Disconnect harness connectors from PCM. Remove PCM mounting bolts (if equipped). Remove PCM. To install, reverse removal procedure. Transfer any necessary components (i.e., knock sensor module, etc.) to NEW PCM before installation. Program replacement PCM using appropriate equipment and latest software. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
