Pcm Reprogramming With Mut-III For Throttle Icing (TSB-04-13-005)

PCM REPROGRAMMING WITH MUT-III FOR THROTTLE ICING

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

PURPOSE

Safety Recall Bulletin SR-03-001 , issued January 2003, describes PCM reprogramming with the MUT-II scan tool for possible throttle icing condition in low ambient temperatures. Reprogramming data is now available for the MUT-III scan tool for this campaign. This bulletin describes PCM reprogramming for this recall campaign using the MUT-III scan tool.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2003 Outlander models produced before 1/30/03

REQUIRED OPERATIONS

Before starting this campaign procedure, CHECK THE WARRANTY SUPERSCREEN to verify that the vehicle is an affected VIN for this campaign and that this campaign procedure has not already been completed.

1. Check the underside of the hood to verify that there is no label previously installed to indicate that this TSB reprogramming has already been done.
2. Verify that the vehicle's PCM part number is listed in the table in Step 10 of this bulletin.
   1. Verify whether the ROM ID is the same as the ROM ID listed in Step 10. If the ROM ID is the same as or higher than the ROM ID in Step 10, the PCM has already been reprogrammed for this concern.
3. Use the MUT-III to erase all DTC's set in the PCM.
4. Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database.
   1. Select "Special Function", then select "ECU Reprogramming."
   2. Select "Database File Display". The database version is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Make sure the database version is N04031 or greater.
   3. If the database version is less than N04031, go to Step 5.
   4. If the database version is N04031 or greater, go to Step 8.
5. Turn the ignition key to OFF and disconnect the MUT-III.
6. Gather the following reprogramming equipment:
   • MUT-III / STV Reflash Update CD 3/04 or later
   • Memory Card 128 MByte Compact Flash MB991853
   • Memory Card Adapter PCMCIA MB991939
   • "Engine Compartment/Control Module" Labels p/n MSSF-024G-00
   Fig 1: Reprogramming PCM

   
7. Install Update CD 3/04 in the MUT-III laptop. Follow the CD installation instructions.
8. Transfer the reprogramming data from the laptop to the memory card.
9. Remove the memory card from the laptop and install it in the VCI. Connect the VCI to the vehicle.
10. Reprogram the PCM, using automatic reprogramming. For reprogramming details, refer to TSB-03-00-015 .

    It will take up to 20 minutes to complete the reprogramming.

    NOTE: If the message "ECU at Current Level of VCI" appears, the PCM did not reprogram. Verify that the ROM ID is the same as the ROM ID listed below.

    • If the ROM ID is the same as or higher than the ROM ID listed below, the PCM has been reprogrammed for this concern.
    • If it is not, verify that the correct database update is in the MUT-III and was transferred to the memory card, and that the memory card is properly installed in the VCI.
    CAUTION: DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING THE PROGRAMMING PROCESS COULD CAUSE THE PCM TO LOSE DATA OR PREVENT FUTURE PCM REPROGRAMMING.
    1. After reprogramming is completed, the new ROM ID will display alternately with the message "Turn IG SW OFF" every four seconds. Note this information. Verify that the new PCM part number and ROM ID's are the same as those listed below.
