    PCM is Powertrain Control Module as opposed to ECU as it controls both the engine AND gearbox.
    Under the dash is a BCM (body control module) for things like security, wiper dwell, door locks, power windows, lights off etc depending on luxury level and the one in the drivers side has me stumped because the only other two I can think of is air bag (under the seat) and ABS which is in the engine bay.
