A/T Controls - Service Required Message/Failsafe Mode: Overview
No: TSB-07-23-006DATE: July, 2007
MODEL: 2007 Outlander
SUBJECT:
TCM REPROGRAMMING FOR DTC P0712, P0713 & "SERVICE REQUIRED" DISPLAYED WITH NO MIL
PURPOSE
Affected vehicles may exhibit a condition where the customer notices Service Required displayed on the Multi-Information Display in the center of the instrument panel. They may also notice that the transmission is locked into fail-safe mode (2nd 3rd or 4th gear) but the MIL is not illuminated. During diagnosis the technician will not find a DTC.
^ DTC P0731 (1st Gear Incorrect ratio) may not be stored in the TCM and the MIL may not turn on even if a gear synchronizing failure occurs during first gear operation.
Affected vehicles may display an incorrect DTC for the A/T fluid temperature sensor circuit. This may cause the technician to attempt to diagnose the incorrect condition due to the descriptions being reversed.
^ DTC P0712 (short circuit) will store in place of P0713 (open circuit) and vice versa.
Reprogram the TCM as described in this bulletin. See the chart under AFFECTED VEHICLES below to assist in determining if the vehicle requires reprogramming. Then refer to the attachment shown in this TSB for information on software part numbers for confirmation of to which level the control unit is programmed.
IMPORTANT!!!
When conducting reprogramming on vehicles with separate Engine and Transmission Control Modules, it is important to check the current software levels on both the ECM and TCM prior to any reprogramming. Conduct any reprogramming necessary to bring both control modules to the most current levels available. See the charts in attachment 1 shown in this TSB for assistance in determining if programming is available for both control modules.

2007 Outlander - See chart shown for specific vehicle production dates.
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
1. The following equipment is needed to reprogram the TCM.
^ VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) - MB991824
^ Laptop computer - 520924 or 528535
^ MUT-III main harness 'A' (blue connector at the DLC end) - MB991910
^ USB 2.0 cable - MB991827
^ "Engine Compartment/Control Module" labels - p/n MSSF-024G-00
^ MEDIC II Download at M160 or higher.
2. Check the underside of the hood to verify that there is no label previously installed to indicate that this reprogramming has already been done.
3. If an affected vehicle has a Service Engine Soon (SES) lamp illuminated and DTCs listed in the TCM memory (before reprogramming the TCM) follow diagnostic instructions for the applicable DTCs per the service manual information. Using the MUT III scan for and record any DTCs set in the TCM. Record the freeze frame data then follow diagnostic instructions to resolve any DTCs prior to reprogramming.
Do not reprogram the TCM until the reason for any DTCs being set is corrected.
For MEDIC II users only: (MUT III users go to step 4)
a. Verify that the MEDIC II is at download M160 or higher.
^ If your MEDIC II Down-load is below M160, update your MEDIC II as follows.
b. On the MEDIC-II main screen click on "Maintenance".
c. Click on "Download". After the download completes click on "Cancel" to exit the "Maintenance" window.
^ GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE.
4. Scan Tool Viewer (STV) ONLY (MEDIC-II USERS go to the Programming Procedure. Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:
a. Select "Special Function" then select "ECU Reprogramming."
b. Select "Database File Display." The database version is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Make sure the database version is N07061 or greater.
c. If the database version is N07061 or greater, reprogram the PCM as described in the Programming Procedure below.
d. If the database version is less than N07061, you must transfer the new reprogramming data from the Reflash Update CD 08/07 to the MUT-III hard drive as follows:
i. Install Reflash Update CD 08/07 into the PC's DVD-ROM drive.
ii. Follow the instructions on the screen. The system will automatically transfer the reprogramming data onto the PC's hard drive.
iii. Continue to the Programming Procedure below.
