Failure typically triggers internal fault codes and can cause loss of driveability, stalling, or no\u2011start conditions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PCM removal and reinstall generally requires about 0.7\u202fhours of labor.<\/li>\n<li>ECM work follows a similar time frame, with 0.7\u202fhours for removal and 0.5\u202fhours for relearn.<\/li>\n<li>Common fault codes include P0601, P0604, P0605, P0606, P060A, P060B and P062F.<\/li>\n<li>Flagship One supplies VIN\u2011programmed units that eliminate post\u2011install relearn steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>When a 2013 Scion FR\u2011S begins reporting powertrain control module or engine control module trouble, the situation can feel urgent. Those electronic brains control everything from fuel injection to shift timing, and a fault can quickly translate into rough idle, hesitation, or a complete no\u2011start. This guide walks you through what the modules do in this particular model, where they sit, how long a shop typically spends on removal and replacement, and what steps the factory requires after a swap. You\u2019ll also see the most common diagnostic codes, practical tips to keep the electronics healthy, and answers to frequent questions. By the end, you\u2019ll know what to expect whether you choose a new factory\u2011programmed unit or a refurbished replacement from Flagship One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2013 Scion FR-S<\/h2>\n<p>The powertrain control module in the 2013 Scion FR\u2011S acts as the central command unit for the engine and transmission, interpreting sensor data to adjust fuel, spark and gear changes. The engine control module, while similar, focuses on engine\u2011specific functions such as ignition timing and emissions control. Both modules are critical because they ensure the vehicle runs smoothly, meets emissions standards, and delivers the intended performance. A malfunction can cause erratic idle, loss of power, or transmission\u2011related issues. Understanding their role helps you see why a fault often triggers multiple diagnostic codes. For owners seeking a replacement, locating reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/toyota-ecm-pcm-ecu-engine-computer\/scion-ecm-pcm-ecu-engine-computer\/fr-s-engine-computers.html\">replacement engine computers for the 2013 Scion FR\u2011S<\/a> can simplify the repair process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Where the PCM Is Located and What Replacement Involves<\/h2>\n<p>In the 2013 Scion FR\u2011S, the PCM and ECM are mounted within the engine compartment, typically secured to the firewall or near the battery. Removal generally involves disconnecting the connector harnesses, unbolting the unit and extracting it from its bracket. According to the labor guide, a powertrain control module removal and reinstall takes about 0.7\u202fhours, while the engine control module follows the same removal time. After the hardware is swapped, a relearn procedure is required: 0.5\u202fhours for the PCM and another 0.5\u202fhours for the ECM. These steps ensure the new unit syncs with the vehicle\u2019s existing sensors and actuators.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:22px auto;text-align:center;max-width:720px\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #e2e6ec;border-radius:8px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2013-scion-fr-s-pcm-service-figure.webp\" alt=\"2013 Scion FR-S PCM location diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#667085;margin-top:8px\">From the factory PCM removal procedure for the 2013 Scion FR-S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div style=\"background:#f7f9fc;border:1px solid #e2e8f2;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 24px;margin:18px 0\">\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>How to Reach the PCM on the 2013 Scion FR-S<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"margin:14px 0 6px 0;padding-left:26px\">\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>REMOVE<\/b> GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR ASSEMBLY More Info REMOVE CONTROL UNIT RELAY ASSEMBLY More Info.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Disconnect<\/b> the 4 connectors from the ECM.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the 2 nuts and the ECM.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> ECM bracket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style='margin:10px 0 0 0'><em>Work with the ignition off, and treat the module as static-sensitive: avoid touching the connector pins at any point.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0;font-size:15px\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Operation<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Configuration<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Book Time<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.7 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.7 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Programming Requirements After Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>Factory service procedures dictate that after a PCM or ECM replacement in a 2013 Scion FR\u2011S, a relearn of the control module is required to calibrate sensor baselines and transmission logic. The labor guide lists 0.5\u202fhours for each relearn operation. Flagship One units arrive already VIN\u2011programmed, meaning the necessary calibration data is pre\u2011loaded, so the technician can skip the relearn step. This reduces shop time and eliminates the risk of incorrect programming.

The scan tool may lose communication with the module, and the vehicle can throw a variety of powertrain codes. One frequent code is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/blog\/dtc-p0601-internal-control-module-memory-checksum-error\/\">internal control module memory checksum error<\/a>, which indicates a loss of internal data integrity. Other signs include unexpected transmission shifting, reduced fuel efficiency, and occasional misfire warnings. These symptoms arise because the modules can no longer process sensor inputs correctly, leading to erratic engine management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Module Trouble Codes on

internal memory checksum error in the PCM. It often results from a failing module, corrupted firmware, or voltage irregularities that disrupt data storage.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I replace the PCM myself on a 2013 Scion FR\u2011S?<\/h3>\n<p>While the physical removal is straightforward, the required relearn procedure and proper VIN programming make professional installation advisable to ensure correct operation.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it typically take to replace the ECM on this model?<\/h3>\n<p>Labor guides indicate about 0.7\u202fhours for removal and reinstall, plus an additional 0.5\u202fhours for the post\u2011install relearn step.<\/p>\n<h3>Will a refurbished PCM work as well as a new one?<\/h3>\n<p>A refurbished unit that has been tested and VIN\u2011programmed can perform equivalently to a new part, provided it meets the manufacturer\u2019s specifications.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I do if my scan tool cannot communicate with the PCM?<\/h3>\n<p>Check the connector pins for corrosion, verify battery voltage is within spec, and consider whether the PCM itself may need replacement if communication does not resume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>When the powertrain or engine control module fails in a 2013 Scion FR\u2011S, you have two practical paths: a brand\u2011new factory\u2011programmed replacement or a refurbished unit that has been tested and re\u2011programmed. Both options restore the vehicle\u2019s electronic control functions, but a refurbished Flagship One part may reduce cost while still delivering the same VIN\u2011specific calibration.
