I am repairing the car listed above for a customer who replaced their PCM, but I am running into issues with sourcing incodes for the PCM and SSU.

When replacing the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) in a Mazda 3, it's important to ensure that the new PCM is properly programmed and initialized with the vehicle's specific identification codes, known as incodes or inka codes.

Ken, thank you for your answer!

I was actually able to source the necessary codes through Mazda USA, and program the new modules without issue.

I went ahead and applied for SDRM access through the NASTF, to avoid this issue in the future.

I appreciate your help!
