2010 explorer ecu PCM problems
Well I bought this explorer from an insurance auction it had minor repair done but it seems that the battery shorted and the PCM is damaged. It will start but there is no throtle response and the PCM box gets hot. To top this off it's an export model bought in central America I don't know if there's a difference between the actual programm loaded. Anyone know? Can this PCM be reprogramed or rebuilt? If not can I use a used one? Will there be problems with key security? Thanks in advance!!!

Ok, here is an update any info will be appreciated. After the short all fuses blew, we changed them out and the truck will not start, if I unplug the throtle control from the injector control unit the car will then start but of course there is no throtle response. I can only get readings with the OBDII scanner this way. I´m assuming this is the ECU that had damage because of the short, model no is 9L2a-12a650-fd now, is there someplace that I could send this ECU and have it checked and rebult? What do you guys think? Need answeres please...

I'm not sure about getting the PCM rebuilt. Do you have any history as to why this new Explorer was salvaged? It doesn't seem like "minor repair" would warrant salvaging the vehicle for the insurance to get it. Was it maybe a flood vehicle? If you can get the vehicle to start by disconnecting the throttle control that would suggest to me there's a big short somewhere still. Also, if this has to be disconnected in order for the OBD-II scan tool to connect to the PCM it would seem something may be pulling the system voltage really low. You'll want to get all of those issues sorted out before installing a valuable new or rebuilt PCM in the vehicle. And, yes, if you put a different PCM in this you will need to get the other modules programmed to the new PCM, at least the PATS/Securilock system.
