So, you take the old PCM out, put the new one in, turn power on, scan for codes and you still see the same one?

Conduct the same test, instead connect the negative lead of your multimeter to the PCM case.

Uh, dumb question, but where are you getting that you need 5V from that pin?

Reason I ask is, your on a 2nd pcm giving out 1.2 volts. It just made me wonder if thats what the voltage is suppose to be.

I don't remember, but you did test/replace the TPS?
