When you remove the PCM there are some contacts that are coated in silicone. You have to remove the silicone with your fingernail then clean it with a scotchbrite pad. They give you one with the DP. If you remove to much of the tin on the contacts and expose too much copper you run the risk of loose connection to the chip.
