I need your help. I can not find any info online about strategy codes specific for their cars. If anyone in here has a manual 09 v6 and could send me their strategy code so I could order the correct reprogrammed computer that would be great!
I need it for my auto to manual swap.

Can you talk to the pcm at all? I ask because forscan and maybe others will show that information when you connect to it.

The problem is t my pcm it’s that I did an auto to manual swap and need a manual pcm strategy code to ensure that new pcm is programmed with the correct software. I haven't been able to find any information online and no one is willing to tell me their code.

Thanks a lot. I’m not sure if you know but it only goes to 2007. Was there no change in pcm from 2007-2009?

I didn't know that so I'll have to check to be certain. I'll have to look it up when I get home from work.

02582D9C-42D2-4378-BFFF-226F5DD17474.jpeg According do a parts website there were these two options as well. There were two more that were AT which I assumed meant auto transmission and these two with mt which I assume means manual. Not sure which one is correct or if both will work but both have yielded results for possibly purchases of the pcm.

PCM strategy/operating system is known as FBIS2B6. It is a Spanish Oak 1024K, but that's not helpful when getting your pcm programmed. The code I think your looking for is VK2-R3802 but without the part number on your current PCM I can't confirm that. I'm guessing your current PCM code is VK2-R3801. There are 2 other varieties that I find.

If I read your intentions correctly you're wanting to buy a PCM that has the code for your car but with a manual trans. You may find it much cheaper to buy tuning software like HP Tuners and just upload the correct calibration yourself. This would also allow you to tune in any changes if you like. I have a copy of what your looking for. You can download a copy of HP Tuners for free from their site, change the name of the file here to .hpt instead of .pdf and look it over. To download a copy of your current file in the car or upload this file to it you would need to buy the module and buy 2 credits to change/upload.

I hope this helps you out. I would need your vin and PCM sticker info to help you any more.

One of those 2 would work as they both have the correct strategy, but I can't find the designation difference for the JB or HB without your current PCM ID. Still, they are going to want your vin# and it's going to show an auto. Will they still sell you one with a warranty? Just wondering

You will need the 9R3A-12A650-HB. Don't forget to have the keys with it. Makes it easy. Just have them cut to match your old ones.

You are all set with the wiring harness change needed? I believe it's mostly just the clutch switch.

Thanks a lot! And I still need to wire in the neutral safety switch but I’ve already wired in the speed sensor and reverse lights.

I think OP is asking for the TearTag, the 4 character code on the pcm.
For example, my 07 manual v6 is HPZ0.
