SERVICE INFORMATION

NOTE: This bulletin supercedes TSB-10-13-009, issued September, 2010, to add affected vehicles.

PURPOSE

On some affected vehicles certified for California emissions, DTC P0145 may set in the ECM due to incorrect programming. In this case, the O2 sensor may not  be defective and should not  be replaced.

If DTC P0145 returns after reprogramming, diagnose according to the service manual.

This TSB describes the procedures to follow to reprogram the ECM to correct the condition.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2011 Lancer Sportback w/2.0L engine 

2011 Outlander Sport (RVR) w/2.0L engine 

REQUIRED OPERATIONS

The following equipment is needed to reprogram the ECM. 

If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated and DTCs other than described above are listed in the ECM memory (before reprogramming), follow diagnostic instructions for the applicable DTCs per the service manual information. Do not reprogram the ECM until the reason for other DTCs being set is corrected.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

  1. Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no Authorized Modification label previously installed to indicate this reprogramming has already been done. If a label is present and the "ROM ID #" on the label matches the "New S/W Part No." in the table on page 1 of this bulletin, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary.

    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 077  or higher.

    If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 077,  continue with the Reprogramming Procedure .

    If your MEDIC 3 update is below 077  update your MEDIC 3 as follows.

    G07743623
  3. Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click on "Updates."
    G07743624
  4. If the Medic Update screen advises updates are available, click the "Begin" button. After the updates are complete, GO TO  THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE .
    G07743625
  5. Standalone MUT-III Scan Tool Viewer (STV) ONLY (MEDIC 3 USERS go to  the Programming Procedure ). Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:
    1. From the MUT-III Main Page, confirm your MUT-III version is Ver 26.0  .
      1. If version 26.0  is displayed on your MUT-III, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure .
        G07743626
      2. If the version displayed on your MUT-III Main Page is lower than version 26  , locate the MUT-III Scan Tool Viewer CD (ver 26.0  ) and follow the instructions on the CD label to update your MUT-III.
        G07743627

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.
