PURPOSE
After replacing the ETACS ECU in vehicles without KOS, a “Key Error” message will be displayed on
MUT-III SE when re-registration of the immobilizer ID fails.
This TSB provides dealers a revised procedure to re-register the immobilizer ID after replacing the
ETACS ECU.
BACKGROUND
The failure of the ID re-registration may be caused by the Secret Key Code (SKC) value of the engine
ECU being rewritten unexpectedly by the ETACS ECU. This results in unmatching SKC values between
the engine ECU and ETACS ECU, which in turn causes failure of the ID re-registration of the
immobilizer.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2014-2016 Outlander vehicles without KOS, built before July 2016.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is needed to re-register the immobilizer ID after replacing an
ETACS ECU.
