Computer code location

I need to find my computer code to get my chip reprogramed. I read somewhere you can see it with a mirror and flashlight, but I couldn't see anything but plastic. I don't want to pull the computer just to get the code.

Just pull it, it only takes a few minutes and is easier than screwing around with a mirror. But if you are so inclined, between the PCM and the driver's side fender.

well sometimes you have to do just that
might be on DS door jamb
if its not there you can just take those 2 bolts that are holding the PCM plastic, slide it off the PCM and just pull it gently towards the pedals and you should be able to see it with the flashlite.
and taking PCM out is about 15 min from start to the end when you put it back in.

Just send him your VIN, he can get the PCM code from that.

What if the PCM has been swapped in the past?

If the chip came from Jody, he should know what it is. You can also look at your receipt from when you bought it and the code will be on it.

Disreguard this if you bought the chip from someone else.
