PCM Code Location 1997 F250

I like to know where the PCM code is located and what the sequence might look like. A picture would be nice also..

Mike

PCM is in drivers firewall, code is on the fender side. Use a little mirror to read code. You are looking for the bold 4 letter code. Ie. TDE1, SOD5 etc. Here PCM Codes - 1994-1997 Power Stroke FAQ

I was able to see mine by removing the E-brake and it was on a sticker on the PCM.

It takes all of 10 minutes to pull the PCM and get the code... stop screwing around with mirrors and just pull the dang thing out.

On a Souper Dooty maybe but not an OBS, the inner fender is in the way and has to be moved before the PCM will come out.

It takes 30 seconds with a mirror.

Actually your bass-ackwards- SD doesn't require moving the inner fender, OBS does. I didn't have any luck with the mirror trick, I spent more time trying to fanagle the stupid mirror into a good position than it took to just yank the PCM.

Nope, that's the IDM. The PCM is lower down and goes thru the firewall.

Here's a link to TW's Chip Installation Instructions. The 1st picture shows the PCM and to the right of it, mounted on the inner fender is the IDM

That is your injector drive module, PCM is IN the firewall. All that is going to be showing is a wiring harness.
