PURPOSE
Affected vehicles may exhibit a condition where the engine is hard to re-start if engine coolant
temperature is low. Due to inappropriate programming in the engine ECM, if the coolant temperature is
between 32 - 68 °F (0 - 20 °C), a hard to re-start condition may occur.
This TSB instructs dealers to reprogram the ECM with new software that will resolve this concern.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
•
2014 and 2015 Outlander vehicles (US and Canada) equipped with 6B31 V6 3.0L engines
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
1.
Confirm your MUT -Ill is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2.
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 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.
EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is needed to reprogram the ECM.
•
VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) or VCI Lite - MB991824 or MB992744.
•
MEDIC Laptop/Tablet with A/C power adapter - 520924, or FZG1 MK2.
•
MUT-III main harness 'A' (blue connector at the DLC end) - MB991910 or MB992745.
•
USB 2.0 cable - MB991827 or MB992747.
•
"Engine Compartment/Control Module" label - p/n MSSF024G00.
•
MEDIC 3/4 update at 357 or higher.
•
For Standalone MUT -Ill units, MUT -Ill Reprogramming Database N15112 or higher.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
1.
Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database (e.g., N15112) includes all past and current
reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the ECM for each previous
TSB.
Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no "Authorized Modification" label (see step 19 in
the Reprogramming Procedure 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.
For MEDIC 3/4 users only: (MUT -Ill users go to step 5)
2.
Verify the MEDIC 3/4 is at version 3.5 and at update 357
or higher.
If your MEDIC 3/4 update is at least 357, continue
with the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
If your MEDIC 3/4 update is below 357, update your
MEDIC as follows.

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.
