Re: CAN Firmware Update Mandatory?

You need the PCM firmware update if you use pneumatics.
However, you won't be able to update the firmware unless you first fix your CAN wiring so the PCM can be talked to.
The PCM receives all it's commands via CAN.

For development the PCM will operate out of the box with the firmware that it came with, so the update isn't immediately necessary to get it to stop strobing red.
