Most are not compatible from one year to the next, They sometimes physically plug in for example one SBEC controller to another but the software packages won't be the same and it may not even run, alot of parts yards cross reference the part number on the old one so if you have that it may help. If your vehicle is not equipped with a grey coloured skim key then an identical used pcm should work but may require a vin and mileage update performed. If it is equipped with skim then you're best bet is the dealer to get the skim code programmed to the new controller. Why was you're original pcm replaced ? what was the van doing etc?
Just tryong to get it to pass smog and now we have the P0601 code showing. SO I guess I need to replace the PCM. I don't know what the Skim key actually is. Please explain that in some detail. The van runs well enough however It wont pass smog due to the CEL being on from the code.
