SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
•
Most instructions for reprogramming with CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) are
displayed on the CONSULT PC screen.
•
If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link
you to the "CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) ECM Reprogramming" general procedure.
•
Take the vehicle for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following Idle Air Volume
Learn (IAVL) conditions:
¾ Engine coolant temperature: 70 -100°C
(158 - 212°F)
¾ Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
¾ Transmission: Warmed up
Figure A
•
After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve
Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC
erase.
CAUTION:
•
Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.
If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or above 15.5V during
reprogramming, the ECM may be damaged.
•
Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged.
•
Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.
•
Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within
range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within
range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may be
interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.

B. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM Part Number
column in Table A on page 5.
•
If there is a match, this bulletin applies. Continue with the reprogramming
procedure.
•
If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply. Close C-III plus and refer to
ASIST for further diagnostic information.
