I searched to no avail. Just a quick question. I am a little concerned that welding might do something to the PCM. What do I have to make sure it disconnected or whatever in the car before welding? Anything? Tia

I've never had a problem as long as I have a good electrical connection on the welding clamp, but I would pull a lead from the battery and unplug the PCM. I've only welded on older cars to date, but for the literally 4 min it takes to undo a battery lead and undo the PCM it's worth not having a problem. Remember you are sending a lot of volts through the body when MIG welding.
