SUBJECT: CIRCULATE TO: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES OR ENGINE MALFUNCTION POWER REDUCED SERVICE NOW WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS WHILE IDLING OR DRIVING [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR No: TSB-22-13-001 DATE: January 2022 MODEL: 2022 Outlander [ ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ X ] SALES MANAGER PURPOSE This reflash is to correct the ECU software. The check engine light illuminates or an engine malfunction power reduced service now warning may appear while idling or driving. DTC P0401, P0404 or others may be set. Please perform this reflash first, then proceed to diagnosing other codes if they persist. Please reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECU) with countermeasure software to correct the issue for any affected vehicles that come in for service (with customer approval) and any in dealer inventory. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2022 Outlander - built prior to December 16, 2021 REPAIR PROCEDURE • • • • • • Confirm your MUT-III SE is updated with the latest reprogramming database. Write down all the electrical device settings such as A/C and radio before reprogramming. The settings should be restored after reprogramming. Turn off all electrical devices to minimize the vehicle's electrical load. Also use an external power source to ensure that the vehicle battery maintains the specified voltage during reprogramming. Make sure the USB cable and MUT-III SE main harness are not damaged. Connect the MUT-III SE to an AC power source to prevent internal battery discharge. Stay away from the under hood area during reprogramming. If the connection between the engine ECU and ETACS is lost, the cooling fan operates as fail-safe. NOTE: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming, and DTCs are listed in the ECU memory, save the ALL-DTC results and then erase the codes prior to reprogramming. If hard codes are present that are applicable to the target ECU and won’t clear, diagnose and repair these codes first and then proceed with reprogramming. IMPORTANT To maximize customer satisfaction with the quality of their vehicle, affected new or used inventory vehicles should be remedied before the vehicle is delivered.

Verify that the ECU has not already been updated to the latest S/W number in the tale above. If the Engine ECU is at the latest level, reprogramming is not necessary. NOTE: Reprogramming the Engine ECU with the latest database (e.g., N211201) includes all past and current reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the ECU for each previous TSB. For MEDIC 3.5/4 users only: (MUT-III SEV users go to step 5) 2. Verify the MEDIC 3.5/4 is at version 3.5 and at update 720 or higher. If your MEDIC 3.5/4 update is at least 720, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure. If your MEDIC 3.5/4 update is below 720, update your MEDIC as follows. 1/7/2022 Page 2 of 9 (5166) 3. Select the MEDIC 3.5/4 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. 5. STANDALONE MUT-III SE SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3.5 USERS – GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE). Verify that your MUT3-SE has the most current version of the reprogramming database from the MUT3-SE Main Page. 1/7/2022 Page 3 of 9 (5166) a. Click “STV”. b. Click the “ECU Reprogramming” button. c. Click “SDB Data List, select the reprogramming data system and press the OK button”. d. Confirm that the database number displayed in the upper right above the chart is N211201 or higher i. If the database number displayed on your MUT3-SE is N211201 or greater, continue to the next section. ii. If the reprogramming database number displayed on your MUT3-SE is lower than N211201, then the MUT3-SE database needs to be updated. e. Once the database number is confirmed, hit the Home button to go back to the System Select screen. 1/7/2022 Page 4 of 9 (5166) REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ! CAUTION To ensure that the vehicle battery maintains 12V during the procedure, hookup a battery charger to the vehicle during the procedure. NOTE: VCI Stand−alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop/tablet and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure. 1. Connect the equipment as follows: NOTE: VCI Lite and MEDIC 4.0 Toughpad shown for illustration purposes only. Data Link Connector (Blue End) MUT−III SE Main Harness • Turn the MEDIC PC/tablet on. If the battery indicator in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the battery be charged prior to beginning or be used with the A/C power adaptor connected. • Connect the USB cable to the VCI/VCI Lite. When the laptop/tablet displays the MUT-III SE main screen, connect the USB cable to the device. • Connect the MUT-III SE main harness with the blue DLC connection to the VCI/VCI Lite. Connect the blue connection of the MUT-III SE main harness to the vehicle's data link connector. • For VCI only (p/n MB991824): Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green. USB Cable Toughpad (back) VCI Lite ! CAUTION DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS AS IT COULD CAUSE THE CONTROL UNIT TO LOSE DATA. IF THE USB CABLE IS DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE, A WARNING MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY. NOTE: Due to limited space it may be easiest to connect cable onto negative ground post and ground strap as shown below. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. 1/7/2022 Page 5 of 9 (5166) 3. Using MEDIC, from the main page, click the “MUT3-SE” icon at the top center of the screen. 4. The System Select screen opens and populates with some basic information from the vehicle. Look at the label on the passenger side B pillar to identify the appropriate class. (See B pillar label below; class is labeled as “model”). If necessary, select the correct class from the drop-down list. 5. Verify that the ECU has not already been updated to the latest S/W number shown in the “ECU Reprogramming Chart” in this TSB. If the ECU is at the latest level, reprogramming is not necessary.
