Page 1 of 11 SB-10052273-9193 Technical Service Bulletin SUBJECT: ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR FALSE MIL (P2100) OR HARD TO START WITH ENGINE COLD − REV. No: TSB−13−13−005REV DATE: May, 2013 MODEL: 2010−2012 Outlander CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ ] SALES MANAGER This bulletin supercedes TSB−13−13−005, issued March, 2013 to update the MUT−III Standalone software CD number. Changes are italicized and indicated by A. PURPOSE Some affected vehicles may display an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp or be hard to start after being parked during sub−freezing weather. Nearby residual EGR gas freezes the Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) at cold ambient temperatures (approximately 23o F / −5o C). The frozen throttle valve causes MIL illumination for P2100 detection. This TSB provides field fix information on hard−to−start engine conditions or DTC P2100 detection (P2100: Disconnection on throttle valve control servo circuit). New ECM software modifies the EGR intake air activation temperature to avoid freezing the ETV and false P2100 detection. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2010−2012 Outlander w/6G31 3.0L, AT, 2WD/4WD REQUIRED OPERATIONS IMPORTANT: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming and DTCs other than described above are listed in the ECM memory, diagnose and repair those DTCs per the service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the ECM until the reason(s) for other DTCs being set is corrected. OVERVIEW 1. Confirm your MUT−III is updated with the latest reprogramming database. 2. Diagnose (and repair if necessary) the failure condition using the service manual. 3. If diagnosis determines a component must be repaired or replaced, DO NOT reprogram the ECM. REPROGRAM THE ECM ONLY IF THE CONDITION MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING SUB−FREEZING WEATHER AND YOU DO NOT FIND A REPAIRABLE CAUSE (E.G. FAULTY PART OR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, ADJUSTMENT, ETC.). 4. Perform “Erase and Read All DTCs.” 5. Perform a test drive to confirm DTCs do not return. EQUIPMENT The following equipment is needed to reprogram the ECM. D MEDIC laptop computer with A/C power adaptor − 520924, or MIT547708. D VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) − MB991824. D MUT−III main harness ’A’ (blue DLC connector) − MB991910. D USB 2.0 cable − MB991827. D “Engine Compartment/Control Module” label − p/n MSSF024G00.

You do not need to reprogram the ECM for each TSB. 1. Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no “Authorized Modification” label (see page 11 for example) previously installed to indicate this reprogramming has already been completed. If a label is present and the “ROM ID #” on the label matches the “New S/W Part No.” in the table above, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary. Conduct normal diagnosis for the subject condition. For MEDIC 3 users only: (MUT−III users go to step 5) 2. Verify the MEDIC 3 is at version 3.1 and at update 176 or higher. If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 176, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. Version & Update numbers If your MEDIC 3 update is below 176, update your MEDIC 3 as follows. " D Page 3 of 11 TSB−13−13−005REV 3. Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click on “Updates.” Admin Click on Updates 4. If the MEDIC update screen advises updates are available, click the “Begin” button. After all updates are complete, GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4. Click “Begin” N13021 a. From the MUT−III Main Page: D Select “Special Function” D Select “ECU Reprogramming” D Select “Database File Display−CAN” D Confirm the database number displayed at the top right of the chart is N13021 or higher. (1) If the database number displayed on your MUT−III is N13021 or greater, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. (2) If the database number displayed on your MUT−III is lower than N13021, locate the MUT−III Version 28 (or higher) CD and follow the instructions on the CD label to update your MUT−III. " N13021 5. STANDALONE MUT−III SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3 USERS GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4). Verify that your MUT−III has the most current version of the reprogramming database: Page 4 of 11 TSB−13−13−005REV REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE CONNECT A BATTERY CHARGER TO THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE. DO NOT ALLOW THE BATTERY CHARGER TO TIME OUT. BATTERY VOLTAGE (AS MEASURED AT THE BATTERY POSTS WITHOUT ELECTRICAL LOAD) MUST BE KEPT AT 12.4V OR HIGHER IN ORDER TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. MEASURE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND CHARGE AS NECESSARY. NOTE: VCI Stand−alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure. Connect the equipment as follows: USB CABLE VCI − LAPTOP MEDIC−II / MUT−III MAIN HARNESS BLUE END VCI MEDIC 3 / MUT−III LAPTOP D Turn the laptop computer on. If you’re running on battery power and the charge indicator in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the laptop battery be charged prior to beginning, or that reprogramming be completed with the A/C power adaptor connected to the laptop. D Connect the USB cable to the VCI. D When the laptop displays the MUT−III main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop. D Connect the MUT−III main harness (blue DLC connector) to the VCI. D Connect the blue connector of the MUT−III main harness to the vehicle’s data link connector. D Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green. CAUTION DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS COULD CAUSE THE CONTROL UNIT TO LOSE DATA OR PREVENT FUTURE REPROGRAMMING.
