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.
- VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) - MB991824.
- Laptop computer with A/C power adaptor - 520924, or MIT547708.
- MUT-III main harness 'A' (blue connector at the DLC end) - MB991910.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
- 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 )
- 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.
- Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click on "Updates."
- If the Medic Update screen advises updates are available, click the "Begin" button. After the updates are complete, GO TO
THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE .
- 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:
- From the MUT-III Main Page, confirm your MUT-III version is Ver 26.0
.
- If version 26.0
is displayed on your MUT-III, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure .
- 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.
- If version 26.0
is displayed on your MUT-III, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure .
- From the MUT-III Main Page, confirm your MUT-III version is Ver 26.0
.
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.
Connect the equipment as follows:
- Turn the laptop computer on. If you're running on battery power and the charge indicator in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the laptop battery be charged prior to beginning, or that reprogramming be completed with the A/C power adaptor connected to the laptop.
- Connect the USB cable to the VCI.
- When the laptop displays the MUT-III main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop.
- Connect the MUT-III main harness with the blue DLC connection to the VCI.
- Connect the blue connector of the MUT-III main harness to the vehicle's data link connector.
- Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.CAUTION: DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS COULD CAUSE THE CONTROL UNIT TO LOSE DATA OR PREVENT FUTURE REPROGRAMMING. IF THE USB CABLE IS DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE, A WARNING MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY.
ECM Reprogramming
- Conduct the following steps to reprogram the ECM.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T. System, the transmitter must remain in the vehicle for the entire procedure.
For vehicles equipped with OSS, press the START/STOP button without applying the brake.
- If using MEDIC 3, from the main page, click the MUT-III STV icon at the top center of the screen.
- Select "Special Function."
- Select "ECU reprogramming."

- n. Click on the check mark to begin reprogramming.
It will take up to 5 minutes for reprogramming to complete.
CAUTION: The Daytime Running Lights and both the engine and condenser fans will automatically be turned on during reprogramming. Care should be taken to insure nothing gets caught in the moving blades. The radio will be turned off and you will also hear a chime in the interior for a short period of time. These are normal conditions. - o. This message will display when ECM reprogramming is successfully completed. Confirm the "New S/W P/N" displayed matches the table on page 1 of this TSB.
- p. You will be prompted to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, wait at least 8 seconds, then turn it back on.
- q. Click the check mark and you will be returned to the "ECU Reprogramming" page.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

- Using the MUT-III, check and erase ALL DTCs from all systems as follows.
- Select "Special Function."
- Select "All DTCS," then select ERASE AND READ ALL DTCS.
- The list on the left side of the screen will have all selections checked. Do not change these selections. DTCs may be set if the vehicle is equipped with options that are unchecked.NOTE: The list on the RH side of the screen (indicated) appears Outlander Sport (RVR) and Lancer based vehicles. For those models, the check mark at the bottom of the page is not highlighted (inactive) at this time.
- If the check mark at the bottom of the screen is highlighted, click it to proceed. If not proceed to step e.
- In the left column, scroll to and click FAST/IMMOB/KEYLESS/TPMS. In the right column, check the correct option code (VF#) from the Loading Options Setup list. This will activate the check mark at the bottom of the page.
- Select "Special Function."
- A window will pop up asking you to confirm DTC erasing. Click the check mark for DTC erasing and reading to begin.
- When DTC erasing is completed, a window will pop up.
- Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the MUT-III. Turn off and disconnect the battery charger.
- Test drive the vehicle to confirm proper operation and that the MIL does not illuminate.
- Using a ball-point pen, enter the appropriate Engine Control Module (ECM) part number, Software Part Number (ROM ID#), this Technical Service Bulletin number (TSB-11-13-009), your dealer code, and the current date on the Engine Compartment / Control Module Label (p/n MSSF024G00). The Vendor Code is not applicable. The label is available from your facing PDC.
The Control Module Label is NOT used for this reflash. It should be discarded.
- Carefully remove all dirt and oil from a vacant area near the VECI label on the underside of the hood, and affix the Engine Compartment Label (LH side, above) to that area.
