Default What does this dealer service code mean?

Sponge Vette sent me the service history on my '02 vert when I was thinking of buying it and I thought everything was pretty much self explanitory except one entry:

12/02/2004 063631 0 J6354 - POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE ENGINE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS 38636 miles

Any idea what was done or why it might have been done? Just curious! TIA.

Is it for the colum lock recall ? I think reprograming the PCM is part of it

Don't think so. My '02 is an A4 and not afflicted with the column lock problem. Maybe I should have posted this in the scan and tune section. Sorry!

Like watching a movie, it means he doesn't know the answer, but he's interested, and he wants to know how it ends...

Who told you that. ↑

IF your car is a Corvette, any year between 1997 and 2004, it is affected by the column lock......

99FewteRC5 has the correct answer to your question above.
The PCM has been reprogrammed. Could have been the Cloumn Lock, could be something else. Just a flash update to the PCM.

U.S. 2002 A4's are not, at least according to the GM service bulletin I read recently. I specifically asked about this in that thread, because my year/type was specifically excluded from the recall listing.

Automatics 2001 and newer do not have a column lock.

I don't understand this and TTT responses, I know what they mean but why waste the bandwidth and make the post longer for no apparent reason.

It also keeps the posting "fresh" and near the top of page one since many folks don't scroll past the first page.

Most people 'lurk' with out posting a lurking popcorn, just look at the difference between the number of views and the number of posts. If you post a lurk and then next time you come back to the forum you simply click on 'My Recent Topics' to find and go back to all the threads you found an interest in the last time you were on. It also like saying, "Good question!".
Nearly everone has the forum set up to display the threads most recently posted on top and few people look past the first couple of pages of threads. So people ttt to bring their favorite thread back 'to the top'.
