Hello, I'm Danny.

The PCM- powertrain control module is located near the cowl-windshield area. I've attached picture steps below for removal and replacement on your vehicle including its location. If you are going to replace with a new or tuned unit there will be a module and anti-theft key relearn needing to be performed. I've included those steps below as well. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros. Happy Holidays.
