This bulletin supersedes TSB-14-13-003, issued July, 2014 to expand the Affected Vehicles to
include additional models. For affected 2011 - 2013 models, linear air-fuel sensor (LAFS)
replacement is required. Revisions are not indicated as this bulletin has been completely
re-written.
PURPOSE
This TSB provides a field fix procedure to address false MIL illumination with OTC P2097 (Rear Oxygen
Sensor Feedback Control System Monitoring) stored in the ECM. To minimize false MIL illumination, this
software update optimizes the target A/F ratio adjustment condition when the accelerator pedal is depressed and released suddenly. For affected 2011 - 2013 models, the linear air-fuel sensor (LAFS) must
also be replaced.
BACKGROUND
During rear oxygen sensor feedback control system monitoring, if the accelerator pedal is depressed and
released suddenly, it may cause false MIL illumination due to an improper target A/F ratio adjustment setting.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2011 - 2014 Lancer/Lancer Sportback equipped with 4B11 (2.0L) or 4B12 (2.4L) engine (non-turbo)
- built before the end of May, 2014
2011 - 2013 Outlander equipped with 4B12 (2.4L) engine
2011 - 2014 Outlander Sport/RVR equipped with 4B11 (2.0L) engine
- CVT equipped vehicles built before approximately June 13, 2014
(first VIN 4A4AR3AU3EE032036)
- 5 MIT equipped vehicles built before the end of June, 2014
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1.
Confirm your M UT -111 is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2.
For affected 2011 - 2013 models, replace the linear air-fuel sensor.
3.
Diagnose (and repair if necessary) the failure condition using the applicable service manual.
4.
Reprogram the ECM with the new software. Refer to the ECM Reprogramming Chart for new software
information.
IMPORTANT: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming. and DTCs other than described above are listed in ECM memory, diagnose and repair those DTCs
per the applicable service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the ECM until the reason(s)
for other DTCs being set is corrected.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE: Reprogramming the ECM using the latest database (i.e. N15021) includes all past and current
reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the ECM for each
previous 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 described condition.
2.
If the affected vehicle is a 2011 - 2013 model, replace the linear air-fuel sensor. Refer to the
applicable service manual, Group 15: Intake and Exhaust> Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler
(2.0L Engine Non-turbo, 2.4L Engine) > Removal and Installation.
3.
Before beginning this reprogramming procedure, disconnect the negative(-) battery terminal
for 60 seconds or more to erase the learned value. Then reconnect it.
For MEDIC 3/4 users only: (MUT-111 users go to step 5)
4.
Verify the MEDIC 3/4 is at version 3.2 and at update
321 or higher.
If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 321, continue with
the Reprogramming Procedure on page 5.
If your MEDIC 3 update is below 321, update your
MEDIC 3/4 as follows.
Page 4 of 12
TSB-15-13-002
5.
Select the MEDIC 3/4 Admin tab and click on "Updates."
6.
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 5.
7.
STANDALONE MUT-111 SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV)
ONLY: (MEDIC 3/4 USERS GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 5). Verify that
your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:
a.
From the MUT-III Main Page:
•
Select "Special Function"
•
Select "ECU Reprogramming"
•
Select : Database File Display-CAN"
•
Confirm the database number displayed at the
top right of the chart is N 15021 or higher
(1) If the database number displayed on your
MUT-III is N15021 or greater, continue to the
Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
(2) If the reprogramming database number displayed on your MUT-III is lower than N15021,
locate the reprogramming CD containing
database N 15021 and follow the instructions
provided with the CD to update your MUT-II1.

REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
I& CAUTION I
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:
MEDIC-II/ MUT-III
MAIN HARNESS
II
I
USB CABLE
VCI - LAPTOP
0=========Q
/
~~ ~
VCI or
VCI-Lite
MEDIC/ MUT-111 COMPUTER
•
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.
•
Connect the USB cable to the VCI (or VCI-LITE).
•
When the laptop displays the MUT-III main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop.
•
Connect the M UT -111 main harness (blue DLC connector) to the VCI.
•
Connect the blue connector of the M UT -111 main harness to the vehicle' s data link connector.
•
Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.
