Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just had my tcm on my 2015 Ford focus replaced.
Do I still have to have it reprogrammed after
replacing it even though they said it was a
programmed tcm when I bought it?

Anything preprogrammed isn't programed to your specific vehicle, that has to be done after installing in your vehicle. You're actually programming the car's computer to the new TCM. And this will have to be done by a dealer or maybe a really good independent mechanic.
