Hi Best,
I got it going. I screwed up. The service data said to install the new PCM and program the vin and mileage in to the PCM first thing. That is what I was trying to do.
The right way was to install the PCM, connect the Jbox and start the app. Now the J2534 app will not be able to read the vin because the PCM is blank. The app gives you the error message to check your connections and make sure the key is on. I thought you could go no further but I was wrong.
I should have clicked on the "continue" button in the bottom corner of the screen. A new page comes up that allows you to enter the vin manually. It then gives you a list of calibrations to choose from.
I picked the one that matched the vehicles build data and flashed the PCM.
Then after flashing I went in to the wireless module with my scan tool, under special functions I clicked on PCM replaced. Here is where you need the PIN code. I entered the PIN and VIN and the wireless module sent them to the PCM. Now the VIN is programmed in to the PCM.
Next I used the scan tool to program the mileage in to the PCM. I did the throttle and trans learn and all was well.
I hope this helps somebody out. It's the first time I used the 2010 and up J2534 app. It's not intuitive and the service data instructions suck!
