PURPOSE
For some vehicles, normal Electric Throttle Valve (ETV) fluctuations may cause actual torque to exceed
Permitted Torque at low engine speeds. An improper Permitted Torque threshold may then cause false
MIL illumination. A software update optimizes the Permitted Torque threshold value to minimize false MIL
illumination.
This Service Campaign Bulletin provides field fix procedures for reprogramming the ECM with new
software to address false MIL illumination with torque monitor P1241 (2008−2010 models) or P061A
(2011−2014 models) stored in memory.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles with 4B11 turbocharged engines
S 2008−2014 Lancer Evolution equipped with 5 M/T built before September 23, 2013
S 2008−2014 Lancer Evolution equipped with TC−SST built before September 25, 2013
S 2009−2014 Lancer RAE built before September 25, 2013
S 2009−2011 Lancer Sportback RAE
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1. Confirm your MUT−III is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2. Reprogram the ECM with the new software. See the ECM Reprogramming Chart for new software
information.
IMPORTANT: Before a vehicle is reprogrammed, you must always FIRST explain to the customer
what the reprogram will do and get customer permission to reprogram the ECM. If an affected
vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming and DTCs other than
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.
EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is needed to reprogram the ECM.
D
VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) − MB991824 or
VCI LITE − MB992744

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE: Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database (i.e.N13112) includes all past and current
reprogramming for TSBs of 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 (see page 12 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
subject condition.
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 235
or higher.
If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 235, continue with
the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
If your MEDIC 3 update is below 235, update your
MEDIC 3 as follows.
Ver. and Update
numbers
3. Select the MEDIC 3 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 ON PAGE 5.
Click “Begin”
N13112
5. STANDALONE MUT−III SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV)
ONLY:
(MEDIC 3 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:
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 N13112 or higher
(1) If the database number displayed on your
MUT−III is N13112 or greater, continue to the
Reprogramming Procedure on page 5.
(2) If the reprogramming database number
displayed on your MUT−III is lower than
N13112, locate the
reprogramming CD
containing database N13112 and follow the
instructions on the CD label to update your
MUT−III.

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−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 (or VCI−LITE).
D
When the laptop displays the MUT−III main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop.
D
Connect the MUT−III main harness (blue DLC connector) 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 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 DISONNECTED DURING THIS
PROCEDURE, A WARNING MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY.
