Principles of Operation

2013 Volkswagen Beetle R-Line, 2.0L Eng VIN TSECTION Principles of Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Some modules must be programmed as part of the repair procedure. If this procedure is not followed, the module does not function correctly and may set a number of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), including B2477 or PI639, which indicate that necessary data has not been programmed into the module.

NOTE: The vehicle must be stationary and level, with all accessories off, while configuring modules.

Modules that need programming should not be exchanged between vehicles. In most cases the parameter values or settings are unique to that vehicle, and if not set correctly, cause concerns or faults.

The diagnostic tool automatically attempts to retrieve the module configuration information from all modules, and from a backup location in the powertrain control module (PCM) when vehicle ID is carried out. If the module and the PCM do not contain correct information, the diagnostic tool either requests As-Built data or displays a list of items that are needed to be manually configured. The diagnostic tool programs the module based on the data entered.

For additional diagnostic tool programming procedures, refer to PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION .

There are 3 different methods that are used for module programming:

  • programmable module installation (PMI)
  • calibration update
  • programmable parameters

Some modules do not support all 3 methods.
