INTRODUCTION

VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2014-2017 VERSA NOTE; ECM REPROGRAM 

Nissan is conducting this voluntary service campaign on certain specific model year 2014-2017 Versa Note vehicles that are currently registered in the states of Arizona or Nevada. The Engine Control Module (ECM) software will be reprogrammed. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number PM827 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign that enter the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties, vehicles presented by transient (tourists) owners, and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
NOTE:
  • Most instructions for reprogramming with C-III plus are displayed on the CONSULT PC screen.
  • If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link you to the "CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) ECM Reprogramming" general procedure.
  • Take the vehicle for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL) conditions:
    G12068157
    • Engine coolant temperature: 70-100°C (158 - 212°F)
    • Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
    • Transmission: Warmed up
  • After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Idle Air Volume Learn. The above condition are required for Idle Air Volume Learn to complete.
CAUTION:
  • Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and select ECM Power Supply Mode.

    If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V  during reprogramming, the ECM may be damaged. 

  • Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.

    If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged. 

  • Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.

    If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. 

  • Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the CONSULT PC and the plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and plus VI during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. 
  1. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure.
  2. Start C-III plus.
  3. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized/connected.
    • The serial number will display when the plus VI is recognized/connected.
  4. Select Re/programming, Configuration. 
    G12068158
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions and navigate the C-III plus to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page.
  6. When you get to the screen shown in Figure 2, confirm this bulletin applies as follows.
    1. Find the ECM Part Number  and write it on the repair order.
      NOTE: This is the current  ECM Part Number (P/N).
      G12068159
    2. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM Part Number  column in Table A  on the next page.
      • If there is a match,  continue with the reprogramming procedure.
      • If there is not a match,  reprogramming is not needed. Proceed to CLAIMS INFORMATION , "Reprogramming Not Needed".
