the 07 is supposed to have a different operating system and proccesor and isent supposed to work in 05 06 I do not know 100% for sure though

if you just swap an 05 pcm into an 06 car or an 06 pcm into an 05 car the fuel guage will read backwards how you fix that it is you take your pcm to the dealer and have the correct vin and software package for your car flashed on it so the fuel guage reads correctly
