Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mercury Sable, 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) is an Integrated Circuit (IC) within PCM. This IC contains software code required by PCM to control powertrain. EEPROM can be electrically erased and then reprogrammed without removing PCM from vehicle. If a software change is required to PCM, PCM can be reprogrammed through Data Link Connector (DLC) using scan tool.
