Page 1 of 12 SUBJECT: ENGINE STALLING IN COLD CONDITIONS WITH SPECIFIC OPERATIONS No: TSB-19-13-002 DATE: February 2019 MODEL: 2018-2019 Eclipse Cross CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE In cases where a gas tank is filled with winter blend fuel, engine stalling may occur in cold weather conditions, after the specific operations below: 1. Cold engine start 2. Turn key off 3. Engine restart 4. Shift to D (Drive) range 5. Tap acceleration pedal This may be due to inappropriate fuel correction data after engine restart, where the Air/Fuel (A/F) ratio becomes rich, resulting in the engine stalling. This TSB instructs dealers to reprogram the Engine ECU with updated software to correct the issue. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2018 - 2019 Eclipse Cross vehicles, produced before December 5, 2018 REQUIRED OPERATIONS 1. 2. Confirm your MUT-III is updated with the latest reprogramming database. Reprogram the Engine ECU with the new software. Refer to the “Engine ECU 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 Engine ECU memory, diagnose and repair those DTCs per the service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the Engine ECU until the reason(s) for other DTCs being set is corrected. EQUIPMENT The following equipment is needed to reprogram the Engine ECU.

Verify that the Engine ECU has not already been updated to the latest S/W number in the table above. If the Engine ECU is at the latest level, reprogramming is not necessary. NOTE: Reprogramming the Engine ECU with the latest database (e.g., N190101 ) includes all past and current reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the Engine ECU for each previous TSB. For MEDIC 3.5/4 users only: (MUT-III STV users go to step 5) 2. Verify the MEDIC 3.5/4 is at version 3.5 and at update 581 or higher. If your MEDIC 3.5/4 update is at least 581, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure. Version and Update numbers If your MEDIC 3.5/4 update is below 581, update your MEDIC as follows. Page 3 of 12 TSB-19-13-002 3. Select the MEDIC 3.5/4 Admin tab and 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. 5. STANDALONE MUT-III SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3.5 USERS - GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE). Verify that your MUT3-SE has the most current version of the reprogramming database: From the MUT3-SE Main Page: Admin Click on Updates Click “Begin” a. Click “STV.” Page 4 of 12 TSB-19-13-002 b. Click the “ECU Reprogramming” button. c. Click “SDB Data List.” d. Confirm that the database number displayed in the upper right above the chart is N190101 or higher N190101 e. D If the database number displayed on your MUT3-SE is N190101 or higher, continue to the next section. D If the reprogramming database number displayed on your MUT3-SE is lower than N190101, then the MUT3-SE database needs to be updated. Once database number is confirmed, hit the Home button to go back to the System Select screen. Page 5 of 12 TSB-19-13-002 REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ! CAUTION To ensure that the vehicle battery maintains 12V during the procedure, hookup a battery charger to the vehicle during the procedure. NOTE: VCI Stand-alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop/tablet and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure. 1. Connect the equipment as follows: NOTE: VCI Lite and MEDIC 4.0 Toughpad shown for illustration purposes only. D Turn the MEDIC PC/tablet on. If the battery indicator in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the battery be charged prior to beginning, or be used with the A/C power adaptor connected. D Connect the USB cable to the VCI/VCI Lite. D When the laptop/tablet displays the MUT-III main screen, connect the USB cable to the device. D Connect the MUT-III main harness with the blue DLC connection to the VCI/VCI Lite. D Connect the blue connection of the MUT-III main harness to the vehicle's data link connector. D For VCI only (p/n MB991824): Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.
