ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR DTC P1320

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): TSB-08-13-006REVIII, Date of Issue: October, 2008

MITSUBISHI:

2008-09 Lancer Evolution w/5 speed manual trans, 2008-09 Lancer Evolution w/TC-SST; 2009 Lancer RALLIART w/TC-SST

Superceded Bulletin(s): TSB-08-13-006REVII, Date of Issue: May, 2008

NOTE: This TSB supercedes TSB-08-13-006REVII, issued May, 2008, to revise the reprogramming software for high altitude incidents and add Affected Vehicles. Revised information is italicized and indicated by .

PURPOSE

Some customers of affected vehicles may experience illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with DTC P1320 stored in memory, or a drop in engine speed at idle. The Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) may learn an incorrect position when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position from the ON position without starting the engine.

If the vehicle is driven with this condition, the ETV mis-learns Idle Speed Control. As a result, the intake air volume is insufficient to achieve the initial idle speed target, causing DTC P1320 to be set, or engine idle speed to drop.

This Technical Service Bulletin advises the steps to reprogram the ECM with new parameters and to perform the ETV learning process .

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 547708
MUT-III main harness 'A' (blue connector at the DLC end) - MB991910
USB 2.0 cable - MB991827
"Engine Compartment/Control Module" labels - p/n MSSF024G00
MEDIC-II Download at M254 or higher.

If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated and DTCs 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 DTCs being set is corrected.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

Check the underside of the hood to verify that there is no label previously installed to indicate that 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 at the end of this bulletin, the ECM is to the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary.
For MEDIC II users only: (MUT-III users go to step 5)
Verify that the MEDIC-II is at version 5.0 and at download M254 or higher.
If your MEDIC-II Download is below M254 , update your MEDIC-II as follows.

Fig 1: MEDIC-II Screen - Version And Download Numbers
On the MEDIC-II main screen, click on "Maintenance".

Fig 2: MEDIC-II Screen - Click On "Maintenance"
Click on "Download". After the download completes, click on "Cancel" to exit the "Maintenance" window.
GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4.

Fig 3: MEDIC-II Screen - Click On Download And Cancel
Scan Tool Viewer (STV) ONLY (MEDIC-II USERS go to the Programming Procedure on page 4).
Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:

Select "Special Function", then select "ECU Reprogramming."
Select "Database File Display." The database version is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Make sure the database version is N08101 or greater.
If the database version is N08101 or greater , reprogram the ECM as described in the Programming Procedure beginning on page 4.
If the database version is less than N08101 , you must transfer the new reprogramming data from the Reflash Update CD 10/08 to the MUT-III hard drive as follows:

Install Reflash Update CD 10/08 into the PC's DVDROM drive.
Follow the instructions on the screen. The system will automatically transfer the reprogramming data onto the PC's hard drive.
Continue to the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.

REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

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. A BATTERY CHARGER SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE. DO NOT ALLOW THE BATTERY CHARGER TO TIME OUT

NOTE: VCI Stand-alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure.

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 recharging 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.
1. Turn the ignition key or knob (F.A.S.T. equipped) to the ON position. If the vehicle is equipped with the F.A.S.T. System, the fob must remain in the vehicle for the entire procedure.

Disconnect the MUT-III and the battery charger.

ETV RELEARN PROCEDURE

Start the engine and let it warm up. Use the MUT-III to confirm that the engine coolant temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). The A/C switch should be OFF for this procedure.
Repeat the following steps 3 times:
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait at least 10 seconds.
- Restart the engine.
- Leave the engine running after the third start.
