Plug the X-Cal into the OBD2 port.
Scroll down until it reads "DTC's" on the screen.
Press select.Then push the scroll down button twice until the screen reads
"Strategy".Push the select button again and follow the instructions.
It will say 'turn on ignition', "DO NOT START VEHICLE".
The digits that appear on the screen at this time will be the strategy.
Copy it down exactly as it appears and send it in the Mike.
Its that easy....

The "strategy" is the make up of the PCM from the factory..
