- VIN Not Programmed or Incompatible – ECM/PCM Reviewed the PCM data and found the VIN is programmed. PCM does not appear to be new or recently replaced. Ran a PMI procedure on PCM to pull configuration data from BCM. No change, codes still set. Ran PCM update, no change. Reviewed the BCM data and found the tire size was blank for some reason. Axle ratio config was correct. Updated the tire size in BCM to match the door sticker and pushed the update. PCM fault codes now gone and MIL is out. Unsure why the BCM data would be clear. Possible aftermarket tuner used at some point???
- Noise is from failing rear pinion bearing(s). Needs rear axle bearing overhaul and check the ring and pinion condition.
