REPROGRAM INTERRUPTION RECOVERY PROCEDURE

SERVICE INFORMATION

A complete step-by-step General Procedure for CONSULT-III (C-III) ECM Reprogram Interruption Recovery is now available by attachment in this bulletin.

While performing ECM (Engine Control Module) reprogramming, the reprogramming may stop (become interrupted) before it is 100% complete.

One of two messages may appear:

^ The VI probe is disconnected on USB, please check the connection of the probe.

^ Reprogramming fail, "Error code 0".

In many cases, reprogramming recovery is possible and the ECM may not need to be replaced if the complete ECM part number has been registered into the ECM before reprogramming stopped.

NOTE:
ECM is referred to as ECU in C-III.

The ECM Reprogram Interruption Recovery General Procedure applies to Technical Service Bulletins that include ECM reprogramming published in April 2010 and later.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING REPROGRAMMING
^ Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.

^ Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.

^ For ECM reprogramming, the C-III MUST be connected to the VI using the USB cable.

^ Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
