DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (DRBIII®) and the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures,
verify all engine
systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are present record them on the
repair order
and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this service
bulletin.
If the vehicle is in for service perform the Repair Procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED:
Qty. Part No. Description
1 04275086AB Label, Authorized Modification
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NPN Battery Charger
CH2002 General Purpose Interface Bus Cable Assembly
CH6000A Scan Tool (DRBIII®)
CH7000A/7001A J1962 Cable with red DRBIII® connector
TechCONNECT Workstation
ITIL/ISIS PC
NOTE: An updated J1962 cable has been released. This cable has a red colored
connector at the DRBIII® connection. Use this cable whenever a flash is
being performed.
REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR DOMESTIC VEHICLES USING DRBIII®:
NOTE: Whenever a controller is programmed, the software in the DRBIII®; must
be
programmed with the latest revision level available.
NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be
restarted and
then follow the directions on the DRBIII®.
1. Before beginning the reprogramming procedure, remove any old flash
reprogramming
files from the DRBIII® memory. To clear the memory from the MAIN MENU:
a. Simultaneously press the "MORE" and "YES" keys.
b. A screen will appear requesting a "COLD BOOT".
c. Follow the on screen instructions by selecting the "F4" key.
d. When the DRBIII® reboots to the MAIN MENU, proceed to Step #2
2. With the ignition switch in the "RUN" position, determine the original
part number of the
ECM currently in the vehicle. Using the DRBIII® select:
a. "DRBIII® Standalone"
b. "1998 - 2005 Diagnostics"
c. "All (Except Below)"
d. "Engine"
e. "Module Display"
f. Record the "ECM part #" on the repair order for later reference.

3. Connect the DRBIII® to TechCONNECT. Open TechTOOLS and verify that the
"DRBIII® Status: Connected" message is in the upper right corner of the
TechTOOLS
screen.
4. Enter the "ECM part #" recorded in Step #2 in the "Parts Criteria" area
and select
"Show Updates". TechTOOLS will populate the available updates.
5. Select the calibration.
6. Select the "DRBIII" radio button which is next to the "Download/Update"
button.
7. Select the "Download/Update" button.
8. Monitor the "Flash Download/Update Progress" window on the TechCONNECT
and
follow the instructions on TechCONNECT. When the flash process is complete,
proceed to Step #9.
9. Disconnect the DRBIII® from TechCONNECT.
10. Open the hood, install a battery charger and verify that charging rate
provides
approximately 13.5 volts.
11. Connect the DRBIII® to the vehicle.
12. Turn the ignition switch to the "Run" position (engine not running).
13. Reprogram the ECM by downloading the flash from the DRBIII® to the
vehicle. Using
the DRBIII® select:
a. "Vehicle Flash"
b. Follow the directions on the DRBIII® screen. When the flash process is
complete,
proceed to the next step.
NOTE: Due to the ECM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other
modules
(TCM, BCM, MIC, SKIM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so equipped. Some DTC's
may cause the MIL to illuminate. Check all modules using "Module Scan",
record the DTC's, and erase these DTC's prior to returning the vehicle to
the
customer. Erase any DTC's in the ECM only after all other modules have had
their DTC's erased.
NOTE: The following step is required by law.
14. Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Modification Label"
p/n
04275086AB and attach near the VECI label (Fig. 1).
