Reprogramming Procedure

REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

BATTERY VOLTAGE MUST BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN 13.2 AND 13.5 VOLTS. CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE BATTERY AND CHARGE IT IF NECESSARY. CONNECT A BATTERY CHARGER SET TO CONTINUOUS CHARGE TO THE BATTERY. DO NOT ALLOW THE CHARGER TO 'TIME OUT' DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS. DO NOT ALLOW THE CHARGING VOLTAGE TO EXCEED 13.5 VOLTS DURING THE PROCESS.

1. Connect the equipment as follows:

a. Start the laptop computer.

b. Connect the USB cable to the VCI.

c. Connect the USB cable to the laptop.

d. Connect the blue MUT-III main harness to the VCI.

e. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

f. Connect the other end of the blue MUT-III main harness to the vehicle's data link connector.

g. Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.

NOTE:
If the USB cable is disconnected during this procedure, a warning message will display. Close the message display by clicking on the OK button.

2. Refer to the "Raider ECU Part Number & ECU Calibration" chart, located on the Mitsubishi Dealer Link under the Service Tech Resources page, to identify the appropriate calibration for this programming. Close the message display by clicking on the OK button.





3. From the Raider main menu, select Special Function.





4. Select ECU Reprogramming.





5. Select Automatic Reprogramming.

6. Select PCM.

Then click on the check mark at the bottom of the screen.





7. This window will pop up advising that the program will "Automatic search the data." Click on the check mark to continue.





8. Select the programming database (calibration) listed in the "New ECU P/N" that matches the New Part # column from the chart shown at the beginning of this TSB.

Then click on the check mark at the bottom of the screen.





9. Click on the check mark to continue with reprogramming. It will take up to 10 minutes to complete reprogramming.

DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING PROGRAMMING REQUIRES THE PROCESS TO BE RESTARTED.

DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE RAIDER STV PROGRAM AT THIS POINT. ECU DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.





FOLLOW THE MUT-III SCREEN DISPLAY MESSAGES TO RESTART THE PROGRAMMING PROCESS.

13. Click the "UP" arrow at the bottom left of the screen to return to the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS menu.

14. Turn off the ignition key and disconnect the MUT-III.

15. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle.

16. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal to clear the automatic transmission Variable Line Pressure (VLP) counters in the PCM. Wait 1 minute and then reconnect the terminal.
