B. Reprogram the TCM For 2005 Model Year Vehicles

NOTE:
Whenever a module is reprogrammed, the software in the DRBIII(R); must be programmed with revision level 63.10 or later. If this flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash process must be repeated.

d. When the DRBIII(R) reboots to the MAIN MENU, continue to Step # 2

2. Connect the DRBII to the vehicle.

3. With the ignition switch in the "RUN" position, determine the original part number of the ECM currently in the vehicle by performing the following steps:

a. Select "DRBIII� Stand Alone" at the main screen.

b. Then select "1998 - 2007 Diagnostics"

13. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. If the battery charger is timer controlled, set the battery charger to continuous charge. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash.

14. Connect the DRBIII(R) to the vehicle.

15. Download the TCM flash file from the DRBIII(R) to the vehicle. Using the DRBIII(R) select "VEHICLE FLASH".

NOTE:
Due to the TCM programming procedure, DTC(s) may be set in other modules (ECM, 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 DTC(s) in the ECM last. Erase DTC(s) in the other modules first.
