- How to replace a PCM in a 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in your Jeep is designed to serve as the brain of your vehicle's engine. The PCM is what is often referred to as your Jeep's "computer." It controls a variety of functions, including how your engine runs and the individual sensors that provide it with information. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks so much (I bought one from Ebay and had it preprogrammed.) Only issue was it was spray painted silver even on the plug sockets and very worn looking. Cost about $250 with shipping. But all works great Now! Your video was life savor and saved me a lot of stress with the dealers!
Thanks so much about the tip on the recalls. Called the dealership and got it fixed for free.
That's super cool they took care of it for you.
What year? I have 2003 limited error code po601 but my battery cables are corrected witch could cause that code it has a intermediate rough iidle and intermediate misfire so I am doing the battery cables 1st and clear the codes and hope for the best ..and were do I get a preprogrammed pcm?
WHAT DEALERSHIP? IVE CALLED EVERY JEEP DEALER IN SOCAL AND THEY WONT EVEN TALK ABOUT MY 99 WJ? I NEED HELP :/
and thanks for the video I wouldn't have even known what it looked like
exactlicy what I needed The nut by the shock is what got me. Thanks
Bro I have the exact same issues, on a 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited with 258,000 miles. No codes, Bad idle, dies randomly. Thank you for this video.
Bro what did you do to fix it
@@cristiancastro5249 sold it for about $1200 :))
Just got off the phone with my mechanic and sure enough PCM needs to be replace. Wasn't even notified of a recall for my 2003 jeep from the dealership.
Thank you for taking the time and posting a video letting all of us know. Good looking out.
There are several companies now that you can order your PCM from already programmed. Just plug and play. A simple Google search will reveal this.
Hey thanks for uploading do you know which PCM/ECM from autozone?, I went there they told me I have to take out the PCM and get a # from the original one and then order it. Then I still have to get it programmed.
I’m in Glendale Az. Nice wj man. I hope I never have to do this. Was it hard to reprogram?
who did you go through to get your pcm is it after market or OEM from Dealership
and what about immobilizer? you do not have to change it or program the PCM?
I put in a new pcm with Skim delete. Best thing i ever did for my wj. That's a tipical thing to go out usually. Pcm/skim.
I have an 01 grand Cherokee and the battery has a constant drain on it even with key removed. Could that be the skim?
Sounds more like a bad pcm. I had that problem too
@@jasonfrazier3383 is a pcm and a ecu the same thing ?
@@cristiancastro5249 yes
@@jasonfrazier3383 I have the same problem. Sits longer than 2 days it's drained. Been chasing it for awhile. Only thing I haven't changed on this thing is the PCM.
When you say it ran like shut do you mean missing and feels like it won’t run right but does run right at the same time.. ?? Just changed mine and it’s running like shut
Nice
Im trying to figure out where do connect the ground wire to cause mine wasnt connected to the pcm when i took it out and i dont see the big bolt that he refers to in the video
Unrelated but I ordered that same bumper and wondering what the measurement is in the winch mount area? Will it fit a large winch? Also how heavy is the bumper? I'm lifted but worried about needing to relevel lift if winch and bumper will add 300lb or something crazy like that. Thanks.
The front bumper is not that heavy I can pick it up and put it on myself probably around 100lbs. I have not bought a winch for mine yet but it'll fit up to a 9500 lbs winch. The rear bumper with spare tire mount weighs a lot I'm sagging around 2in in the rear now even after putting a brand new lift kit on. I paid to have them powder coated in both the front and rear bumper came scratched really bad and I had to file a damage claim with the shipping company total nightmare.
Good videos are the guys that tell you the tool sizes
Great video. Straightforward. Say, with a a coded security ingnition key, does my 2004 Grand need to go to a tech to
program for the security? Or does an aftermarket PCM have all this integrated with the proper provided serial number and vin?
I had to give them my VIN number so they could properly program the PCM to the vehicle. Did not need have anybody else touch it after the install.
@@FastestIntegra is a pcm and a Ecu the same thing ??
@@cristiancastro5249 yes
So is this the actual issue of why it shuts Down when it starts an shuts down the road an when I come to a cop...just a recalled pcm???
RECALL QUESTION: In 2015 there was a Recall for the 2004 Grand Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2-Wheel Drive 4.0L Engine regarding something associated with the "Airbags" that is actually caused by a problem with the "ECM," which is also referred to as the "PCM." When taken to the dealership in 2015, the service staff said, "Don't worry about anything with this Recall." Each time the vehicle was taken to the dealership for an oil change over the next several years, the staff of the dealership would say, "Don't worry about it." But now in 2023 the "Engine Light" turned on. When taken to an automotive repair facility, the code that came up said "Thermostat Malfunction" and the service staff said this problem was being caused by the "PCM" due to the fact that two "Thermostats" had already been replaced during previous instances when the "Engine Light" turned on.
On the Mopar website, when the VIN Number is entered for this 2004 Grand Jeep Cherokee are entered on the website, is says there is an active "Safety Recall" associated with this product. The Mopar website says the Recall Date was January 27, 2015. The "FCA Recall #" is listed as "R06." The "NHTSA Recall #" is listed as "15V-046." The Mopar website then lists the following information:
Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk
THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE MAY EXPERIENCE A FRONT AIRBAG AND/OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONER INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT. AN INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Repair Description
ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES MUST HAVE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE REPLACED. IF YOUR VEHICLE STILL HAS SAFETY RECALL M35 (12V-527) OR N13 (13V-040) IN THE "OPEN" STATUS, PLEASE SCHEDULE YOUR SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH A CHRYSLER DEALER TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. IF YOU ALREADY HAD M35 (12V-527) OR N13 (13V-040) COMPLETED, RECALL R06 MUST STILL BE COMPLETED ONCE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE.
Recall Status
INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIRE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.
There is no mention of a "PCM" or "ECM" in this description above from the Mopar website. Everything seems to be associated with the "Airbag" portion of this recall. However, this is not the same when you look at this "Recall" Description on another website called cars.com. The cars.com website specifically lists the "ECM" as the cause of the problems with the "Airbags."
The cars.com website also lists the Recall Date as January 27, 2015. However, the cars.com website lists the NHTSA Recall Number slightly different as "15V046000."
The following information regarding this recall is provided on the cars.com website and specifically mentions the "EMC" part

Recall date

Recall no.
15V046000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2002-2003 Jeep Liberty vehicles manufactured January 9, 2001, to March 28, 2003, 2002-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 13, 2001, to May 23 2003, and 2003-2004 Dodge Viper vehicles manufactured November 1, 2001, to June 30, 2004. Due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the air bag electronic control module (ECM), a component in the ECM may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Details
Recall consequence
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Recall action
Chrysler dealers will replace the air bag control module and front and/or side impact sensors as required, free of charge. These parts are not currently available, however, an interim repair is available free of charge that reduces the risk of an inadvertent deployment. This recall remedy was applied during earlier recall campaigns of these vehicles under safety recalls 12V527 and 13V040. All owners that have not had the recall repair performed under safety recalls 12V527 or 13V040 are strongly encouraged to have it performed and not wait for the final remedy to be deployed to the field. The replacement ECM parts needed for the final remedy are not expected to be available until the latter part of 2015. Owners will be mailed an interim notification in late March 2015 and will be mailed a follow up notification when new air bag control modules are available. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R06.:
MY OVERALL QUESTION IS: "Is this R06 Recall that is associated with the 'Airbags' with the 'ECM' as the cause of the problem the 'Recall' you are referring to in your video?"
If so, should the dealer be replacing this PCM/ECM for free - the way they presumably should have since 2015 rather than saying, "It is okay; you don't need it done"?
Where did you get your new/remanufactured PCM? I am in Norway, Europe, and having a hard time findig a programmed remanufactured PCM to my 1999 WJ. My PCM's partnumbers last 5 digits are 429AE...
I got a Blue Streak PCM from AutoZone not sure if you have those over there or if they'll ship cross Seas. Good luck.
Check Ebay or google search it. Theres a lot of places that have overseas versions and will program your vin on it
We really wanted to see it running third video I see without testing it.
Just replaced mine but now I have no gauges. Lights and signals work, odometer not adding miles.
I just replaced mine last night and everything was fine. Started right up. Got up the next day and it hesitated to start first try and then was fine. but my radio isn’t working. Humm
I have a 2002 jeep Grande Cherokee and am having trouble finding a new or used one I'm in Shediac New Brunswick Canada any suggestions
Do you have AutoZone in Canada I'm pretty sure there is.
That is where I got mine from I just had to give them my VIN number and one was shipped out to me within a week the car ran a little rough after I installed it for about 50 to 100 miles and then it smoothed out and it's fine
Hey buddy,I'm trying to figure out where does that big bolt location that's connected to the ground go on the bracket cause my ground wasn't connected to the pcm when I took it out.
Is it one of the screws that bolted to the bracket?that screw look too small to be the one
Hey bud - when you say it ran like shit, what does that mean?
My 99 Limited v8 doing the same, recalls still works for this year of cars???
no they dont
youre going to have to reach out to a company that remanufactures them.. i did research for 1 month on the best option.. auto zone and o reillys both sell them through a third party.. they program them for you.. and will ship within 2 business days and offer a 2 year warranty.. have it professionally installed so you can also receive a warranty from them incase you do anything wrong.. or diy if you feel confident.. i tested my suspicion with a pcm from the junk yard.. ,but i had to take out the pcm, sentry system for key security + have the key (mounted key next to ignition so the security system would read the signal) .. otherwise it wont stay on when you turn key.. ended my stalling issue. Returned pcm to junk yard for refund and ordered one online. Just visually you can tell the difference in the way they make them between new and OEM computer. Good luck.. i dealt with this issue for a while and thankfully didnt go replacing random sensors and wires.

Where did you have to go get it programed
I got the PCM from AutoZone and it was pre-programmed to my VIN number.
nice video, but is programing neccessary
He says "very gently" then he snatch, pull, & twist stuff forcefully, if u take your time removing that pcm is easier that what you just watched, goodness!!!
2:00
My 03 jeep wj has no gauges & the fuel light on with a full tank of gas with key light. It has a skim delete. Do I need to just get a new pcm to solve the problem?
Very good question thank you for asking unfortunately I do not know the answer that one have not had that problem yet keep asking around I help you the best of luck maybe come back and share with everybody what it was and how you fixed it
Bro those symptoms occur EVERY SINGLE TIME, I had a dead battery... Get a new battery and alternator. Of you park it for more than 2 days unplug battery or figure out how to disable Jeeps IOD... IGNITION OFF DRAIN🤦♂️
Is this recall still active
Did u ever get an answer on if it's still active
I welded track bar mount( cuz stock is pathetic) reinforment plates on the axle and momentarily forget to disconnect the battery....cooked the pcm. Idiot..
Imagine putting money into these cars LMFAOOO
Cheaper than a new Jeep. Easier to work on than a new Jeep. Better than sending another Jeep to the crusher because of a simple fix... I can imagine a lot of thing worse than putting a little bit of money into these Jeeps. But hey, you just keep on doing your thing.
What do you have to do after installing a new pcm?
