ECM LOGIC IMPROVEMENT & A/C TORQUE DEMAND
This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software logic of the Engine Control Module (ECM) system
on some 2021-2022MY K5 (DL3a) vehicles equipped with the Gamma 1.6L T-GDI engine produced from March
27, 2020 through January 10, 2022, which may exhibit an MIL ON with DTC P00B7 and/or RPM fluctuation
and possible stalling when turning A/C ‘OFF’ while vehicle is parked. Follow the procedure outlined in this
publication to apply the improved logic to the ‘Engine’ system using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as
described in this bulletin. For confirmation that the latest reflash has been applied to a vehicle you are working
on, verify the ROM ID using the table on page 3 of this bulletin.

•
All ECU upgrades must be performed with the ignition set to the ‘ON’ position unless otherwise
stated.
•
Damaged VCI II units should not be used and promptly replaced.
•
Be careful not to disconnect the VCI-II connected to the vehicle during the ECU upgrade
procedure.
•
DO NOT start the engine during ECU upgrade.
•
DO NOT turn the ignition key ‘OFF’ or interrupt the power supply during ECU upgrade.
•
When the ECU upgrade is completed, turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and wait 10 seconds before
starting the engine.

the ECU.

Before attempting an ECU upgrade on any Kia model, make sure to first determine whether the
applicable model is equipped with an immobilizer
security system. Failure to follow proper
procedures may cause the PCM to become inoperative after the upgrade and any claims associated
with this repair may be subject to chargeback.
