Page 1 of 11 Technical Service Bulletin SUBJECT: ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR FALSE MIL (DTC P0420) No: TSB−12−13−005 DATE: November, 2012 MODEL: See below CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE Some affected vehicles may display an illuminated MIL with DTC P0420: Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold, recorded in the ECM. An incorrect parameter in the judgment criteria may cause a false MIL (mis−detection of a fault when an abnormal condition is not present). This TSB provides dealers with a procedure to reprogram the ECM with new software to correct the condition. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2008−2010 Outlander w/4B12 2.4L, CVT, 2WD/4WD 2009−2010 Lancer w/4B12 2.4L, CVT or M/T 2010 Lancer Sportback w/4B12 2.4L, CVT or M/T 2010 models: Applies to FEDERAL Emissions vehicles only. REQUIRED OPERATIONS IMPORTANT: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming and DTCs other than those 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 MUT−III software contains the latest reprogramming database 2. Reprogram the ECM with new software per the Reprogramming Procedure. 3. Perform “Erase and Read All DTCs.” 4. 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.

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 ECM Reprogramming Chart above, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary. Conduct normal diagnosis for the subject DTCs. 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 155 or higher. If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 155, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. Version & Update numbers If your MEDIC 3 update is below 155, update your MEDIC 3 as follows. Page 3 of 11 TSB−12−13−005 3. Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click “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” N12091 N12091 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: 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 N12091 or higher. (1) If the database number displayed on your MUT−III is N12091 or higher, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. (2) If the database number displayed on your MUT−III is lower than N12091, locate the Yellow MUT−III Reflash CD 02/12 and follow the instructions on the CD label to update your MUT−III. Page 4 of 11 TSB−12−13−005 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 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 with the blue DLC connection 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 that 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. IF THE USB CABLE IS DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE, A WARNING MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY. Page 5 of 11 TSB−12−13−005 ECM Reprogramming 1. Conduct the following steps to reprogram the ECM. a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the vehicle is equipped with the F.A.S.T. System, the transmitter must remain in the vehicle for the entire procedure. b.
