![]() how can i check that the garage which warrants my car have changed the PCM for a new one?
where abouts is this located on a neon 2001 SE and would you tell by looking at it? also would this cause a fault with the alarm system? |

![]() I believe the PCM is located under the hood, under the air cleaner box.
You might see a "rebuilt" or "exchange" sticker on it. I couldn't tell you what numbers to look for, and they might have changed as updates are followed. Might have a more recent date than the production date of the car. I don't know if the car alarm is tied into the PCM or not, sorry.

![]() If it hasn't been replaced yet, just put a little felt pen mark in an inconspicuous place and then check it after you get the car back.

![]() Im not sure about the PCM being part of your cars alarm system or not. Is your alarm system stock or aftermarket? My mustang have a seperate system called PATS for the alarm stuff.

![]() You may want to take this car to an independent dealer other than the garage you bought it from, a different Dodge dealer and have them inspect it for you.
