   12. Click on the check mark to begin reprogramming.
       NOTE: It will take up to 5 minutes to complete the reprogramming.
       CAUTION:

       The Daytime Running Lights and both the engine and condenser fans will automatically be turned on during reprogramming. Care should be taken to insure nothing gets caught in the moving blades. The radio will be turned off and you will also hear a chime in the interior for a short period of time. These are normal conditions. 

   13. This message will display when the ECM reprogramming is successfully completed. Record the S/W (Software) Part No. displayed and compare it to the "New S/W Part No." in the table in ATTACHMENT 1  at the end of this TSB.
