Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility and 2022 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The flash EEPROM is an integrated circuit within the PCM. This integrated circuit contains the software code required by the PCM to control the powertrain. One feature of the EEPROM is that it can be electrically erased and then reprogrammed through the DLC without removing the PCM from the vehicle.
