Overview

The 1998 Ford Explorer PCM is an Engine Control Module (ECM) designed as a guaranteed replacement for 4.0L models with part number F87F-12A650-BJB and hardware code ML2-406. This unit arrives programmed, flashed, and updated to your vehicle's VIN with the latest manufacturer updates to potentially improve performance and fuel economy.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Passive Antitheft System (PATS) or has a computer chip in the key, a locksmith or Ford dealer may need to reprogram the keys. For vehicles without PATS, the unit is plug-and-play. The seller requires the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for programming, which can be provided during checkout or later via email or phone.
Show original supplier description
The F87F-12A650-BJB is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) specifically for the 1998 Ford Explorer with a 4.0L engine and matching part number. This Engine Control Unit (ECU), also known as an Engine Control Module (ECM), is guaranteed to be a replacement for your vehicle. This unit is programmed and flashed with the latest manufacturer updates to your vehicle's VIN before shipment, aiming to enhance performance and fuel economy. For vehicles equipped with the Passive Antitheft System (PATS) or a chipped key, key reprogramming by a locksmith or Ford dealer may be necessary. Non-PATS vehicles will find this PCM to be plug-and-play. To ensure proper programming, your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required and can be submitted during checkout or via email or phone post-purchase. The seller performs comprehensive in-house testing and refurbishment on each unit, addressing common issues such as electrical problems, failure to start, fault codes, intermittent issues, loss of power, no ignition or injector pulse, poor fuel economy, and shifting problems. Each purchase includes a FREE Lifetime Warranty, FREE domestic shipping, and eliminates the need for a core return, allowing you to keep your old unit. These are guaranteed OEM products, tested by ASE-certified technicians.
