REPLACEMENT
In the case of the vehicle equipped with immobilizer, perform "KEY TEACHING" procedure together (Refer to "IMMOBILIZER" in BE group).
When replacing an PCM, the VIN must be programmed in the PCM. If there is no VIN in PCM memory, the fault code (DTC P0630) is set.
1.
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2.
Remove the cover of the PCM & relay box (A).

3.
Disconnect the PCM connectors (A).

4.
Unscrew the PCM bracket mounting bolt (B) and the nuts (C), and then remove the PCM.
5.
Install a new PCM.

PCM installation bolts (on bracket) : 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lbf·ft)
PCM bracket installation bolt/nuts: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lbf·ft)

6.
Perform "Key Teaching" procedure (Refer to "IMMOBILIZER" in BE group).
7.
Input the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) (Refer to "VIN PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE" in this group).
PCM PROBLEM INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.
TEST PCM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure resistance between PCM and chassis ground using the backside of PCM harness connector as PCM side check point. If the problem is found, repair it.

Specification (Resistance): 1Ω or less

2.
TEST PCM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the PCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on PCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it.
3.
If problem is not found in Step 1 and 2, the PCM could be faulty. If so, replace the PCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If the vehicle operates normally then the problem was likely with the PCM.
4.
RE-TEST THE ORIGINAL PCM : Install the original PCM (may be broken) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original PCM with a new one. If problem does not occur, this is intermittent problem (Refer to INTERMITTENT PROBLEM PROCEDURE in BASIC INSPECTION PROCEDURE).
VIN PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a number that has the vehicle's information (Maker, Vehicle Type, Vehicle Line/Series, Body Type, Engine Type, Transmission Type, Model Year, Plant Location and so forth. For more information, please refer to the group "GI" in this SERVICE MANUAL). When replacing an PCM, the VIN must be programmed in the PCM. If there is no VIN in PCM memory, the fault code (DTC P0630) is set.
The programmed VIN cannot be changed. When writing the VIN, confirm the VIN carefully.
1.
Select "Vehicle" and "Engine" (For example, TUCSON 2.0L L4).

2.
Select "VIN WRITING".

3.
Check the PCM status.

VIRGIN: VIN is not programmed
LEARNT: VIN has been already programmed
Is the PCM status "VIRGIN"?

▶ Go to next step 4.

▶ END
4.
Write the VIN with cursor, function and number keys.
Before pressing the "ENTER" key, confirm the VIN again because the programmed VIN cannot be changed.

5.
After verifying the written VIN, press the "ENTER" key.
6.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then turn ON.

7.
Verify the programmed VIN in the PCM memory.
