 Subject: Mopar PCM

Message:
I just installed my Mopar PCM on my 99 R/T and expected to get a check engine light to come on because it has to be programmed with VIN & mileage. To my surprise the ABS & Brake lights came on instead. They only come on after I have driven it a while. No check engine light at all. Has anybody else seen this before. I will go to the Dodge dealer here soon so it doesn't matter, but I was just wondering if anybody else has seen this before.

I have seen that before. It should go away after you get the VIN programmed in.

Yeah - thats normal - my '99 318 did the same thing.
98Durango5.9 - find another dealer and don't worry about them reflashing the computer - none of the updates in the DRB will work on the MP PCM.
I had one of my friends program the VIN in mine and it only took about 10 minutes - ended up having to program it twice because it didn't accept the VIN the first time.

The dealer can't flash the MP PCM. Mine also had the brake lights only come on. My dealer flashed mine for free, when I had it in for some warranty work. It only took them about 5-10 minutes.

My ABS and Brake Light went on because of a bad rear
wheel speed sensor. it was 35 bucks and I put it on
myself. That could be the problem, I hope this helps

Miles are not store in the PCM. They will read the same.

There is not problem.
I also installed the PCM on my 99 R/T and the ABS & Brake lights came on. That's what always happens.
After a Chrysler dealer programmed my VIN to the new PCM everything was o.k.
