The main issue with the power control module (PCM) in a 2008 Ford Explorer is that it may cause the vehicle to misfire. When the PCM fails to interpret the engine's activity correctly, it can result in an incorrect mixture of fuel and air being sent, leading to rough running of the truck. If the PCM is malfunctioning, you are likely to see a check engine light on your dashboard as the engine control unit (ECU) cannot communicate with it. Another indication of PCM trouble is a sudden decrease in fuel efficiency; if you find yourself refueling more frequently than usual, it's wise to have the PCM checked.
