Flash Reprogramming Procedure
Flash reprogram the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
NOTE
The air conditioning amplifier flash reprogram is only performed one time if the air conditioning amplifier
has NOT been flash reprogrammed previously.
Follow the procedure outlined in Service Bulletin L-SB-0001-18, Techstream ECU Flash
Reprogramming Procedure and flash the air conditioning amplifier with the NEW calibration
file update.
NOTE
The battery diagnostic tool MUST be used in Power Supply Mode to maintain battery voltage above
11.4V while flash reprogramming the air conditioner amplifier.
NOTICE
 Damage to the air conditioning amplifier may occur if the correct battery charge mode setting
is NOT used.
 Power Supply Mode is used to maintain battery voltage at 13.5V while flash reprogramming.
 For details on how to use the battery diagnostic tool, refer to the
DCA-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool Instruction Manual located on TIS – Diagnostics – Tools &
Equipment –Battery Diagnostics.

Servo Cleaning Process Procedure
1. Clean the servos using the AC damper operation check tool.
A. Continue with the battery diagnostic tool connected using the
“Power Supply Mode” ONLY.
B. Confirm flash reprograming of the air
conditioning amplifier is complete
otherwise the AC damper servo
operation check tool will show the
corresponding error message.
Figure 1.
NOTE
The AC damper servo operation check
tool will ONLY function correctly with the
NEW calibration file update.
BEFORE using the AC damper servo operation check tool, manually set the front and rear
air conditioning to the following setting:
 MODE – Face
 Temperature – Max Cold
 Air Inlet – Recirculation
Download the AC damper servo operation check tool onto the Techstream desktop.
Select the following link to download the AC damper servo operation check tool
to Techstream:
AC damper servo operation check tool download
NOTE
Depending on browser and settings used, the file may not automatically save to the
Techstream desktop. If this is the case, locate the downloaded file and save it to the
Techstream desktop.
Confirm the ignition is in the IG-ON position and the Techstream is connected to the
DLC3 connector.
F. Confirm NO other programs on the Techstream are currently communicating
with the vehicle.
Double-click on the AC damper servo operation check tool from the Techstream desktop.

Servo Cleaning Process Procedure (continued)
Click on “NEXT” to start the AC damper
servo operation check tool and the
progress bar will show.
It will take between 8 – 14 minutes to
complete the cleaning process
depending on the condition of the
servos. The completion rate of the
progress bar will show between
50% – 100%.
Figure 2.
NOTE
If the connection between Techstream
and the vehicle is interrupted during the
cleaning process, the error message in
Figure 2 will also display. To reconnect,
turn OFF the Techstream unit and
disconnect it from the DLC3 connector,
reconnect Techstream and confirm
connections, and turn ON the Techstream
unit and restart the cleaning process.
When the cleaning process is completed, the DTC check result screen shown below will be
displayed. If any DTC is output, the servo related to it will require replacement
(Reference the Servo Location Guides on pages 20 – 25 for the servo motor location).
NOTE
If DTC B1497 or B149A is output, this bulletin does NOT apply. The communication from the air
conditioning amplifier to each servo has an error or a communication interruption. Complete sub
steps I and J and continue diagnosis using the applicable Repair Manual.
