Page 1 of 9 Technical Service Bulletin SUBJECT: PCM REPROGRAMMING FOR DTC P2181 − COOLING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE No: TSB−13−13−004 DATE: February, 2013 MODEL: 2007 Raider CIRCULATE TO: [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE Some affected vehicles may display the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), with DTC P2181 − Cooling System Performance recorded in PCM memory. This TSB provides a procedure to correct this condition by reprogramming the PCM with new software. IMPORTANT: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated and DTCs other than those described above are listed in the PCM memory (before reprogramming), diagnose and repair those DTCs per the service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the PCM until the reason(s) for other DTCs being set is corrected. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2007 Raider with 3.7L V6 engine REQUIRED OPERATIONS Perform diagnosis and repairs for P2181 using procedures outlined in the service manual. When completed, reprogram the PCM. 1. Confirm MEDIC 3/MUT−III has been updated with 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. THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. D Battery Charger D Laptop computer − 520924 or MIT547708 D VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) − MB991824 D MUT−III main harness A (blue) − MB991910 D USB 2.0 cable − MB991827 D “Engine Compartment/Control Module” label − p/n MSSF024G00 D MEDIC 3 update at 171 or higher. OR Standalone MUT−III laptop with version 28.0 installed.

Page 2 of 9 TSB−13−13−004 REPAIR PROCEDURE NOTE: Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database includes all past and current reprogramming for TSBs on affected vehicles. 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 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 chart on page 1 of this bulletin, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary. 2. If there is an underhood label indicating a different TSB number, check the ECU part number using the MUT−III. D Turn the ignition to the ON position. Do not start the engine. D Open RAIDER STV. D Click System Select. D Click PCM (NGC 4 Engine). D Click ECU Information. D Confirm the ECU Part Number. D Turn the ignition to the OFF position. If the part number shown is listed in the Raider PCM (ECU) Reprogramming Chart shown on page 1, the PCM is already at the current level and this TSB does not apply. Disconnect the MUT−III and diagnose using the service manual. For MEDIC 3 users only: (Stand alone MUT−III users go to step 6) 3. Verify the MEDIC 3 is at update 171 or higher. If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 171, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. If your MEDIC 3 update is below 171, update your MEDIC 3 as follows. Update number Page 3 of 9 TSB−13−13−004 4. Select the MEDIC 3 “Admin” tab. Click on “Updates.” Click on Updates 5. If the MEDIC Updates screen advises updates are available, click the “Begin” button. After the updates are complete, GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4. Click on begin 6. Standalone MUT−III Scan Tool Viewer (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3 USERS go to the Programming Procedure on page 4). Verify that your MUT−III has the most current version of the reprogramming database: a. Confirm MUT−III (NOT Raider STV) is at Version 28.0. Ver. 28.0 Ver. 28.0 If MUT−III is at Version 28.0, close MUT−III and proceed to the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4. If MUT−III is NOT at Version 28.0, locate your MUT−III Version 28 programming disc and update you laptop. Page 4 of 9 TSB−13−13−004 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 the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure. Connect the equipment as follows: USB CABLE VCI − LAPTOP MEDIC−3 / 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. NOTE: If the USB cable is disconnected during this procedure, a warning message will display. Close the message display by clicking on the OK button and begin the reprogramming procedure from the start. Page 5 of 9 TSB−13−13−004 PCM Reprogramming 1.
