Will there be any issues using the pcm from a 90 vg se in a 94 vg gxe? Both cars are auto. Do accessories make a difference, i.e. keypad locks, digital climate, etc.?

 

PCM? Pulse-code modulation? Maybe you mean BCM? Not sure, since the the keypad locks didn't exist back then, especially not on the SE's.. Give it a try. Might be safer going with a 92-94 GXE BCM.

 

I dont know what you guys are talking about but if its the ECU, I know there were 11 diffrent numbers for the max IIRC. For my 93 it was 93 specific. PCM same as ECU?

 

Probably..

 

PCM is a Ford term.

Powertrain Control Module

 

PCM = Powertrain Control Module
BCM = Body Control Module
TCU = Transmission Control unit OR Time Control Unit (2 very different things)
ECU = Engine Control Unit
ECM = Engine Control Module

 

The guy refers to the module as a PCM. I just assumed he was in need of a ECU, but wanted to use his terminology. The FSM didn't refer to a PCM, now I have verification.

So now, is the ECU (computer) interchangable between these two models?

 

TO OP:
if ecu=pcm, your answer is mebe a "no"...
i do not see why not, since its the same motor, 'cept mebe different sensors... i don't think thats the case, but why would they need eleven friggin' ecu models?!?

 

clarify? my 90gxe has keypad locks...

 

all 89-94 gxes have keypads.

yeah, i know. that's why i was confused by what he said

 

does anyone if the ve motors ecu's are the same?

 

Sorry bout that.. There was a 92-94 GXE commercial I seen somewhere online with the gold GXE and they were talkin about the keypads like it was cool new technology on Maximas. I guess that just stuck in my head.

 

lol, i was lookin for prices for maximas, came across a 2nd gen.
keypad locks was an option, even had a pic...

 

Are the same as the vg ecu? If yes,then no,they are different.

Or are all ve ecu's the same? IIRC,the ve auto ecu's are different from the ve 5 speed's ecu.
