Some 2013 model year FR-S vehicles may exhibit a MIL "ON" condition with one of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): P0017 or P0019 ("Cam Sensor Correlation"). The Engine Control Module/ECM (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module PCM) logic has been revised to address this condition. Use the following repair procedure to determine if ECM (PCM) replacement or reprogramming is required.

Required Tools & Equipment

Repair Procedure

1. Confirm DTC P0017 or P0019 is set.





2. Using the Techstream Utility "VVT Initial Position Learning Value Display" confirm the VVT Ex Initial Position Learning Value # 1 and # 2 are within the range.





3. Is the value within range?

^ YES - Proceed to step 4 (Reprogram the ECM).

^ NO - Proceed to step 5 (Replace the ECM).

4. Reprogram the ECM.





A. Check for the Authorized Modifications Label affixed to the vehicle in the location shown in Figure 2. Confirm if the ECM (PCM) calibration has been updated. If the calibration ID listed is NOT the latest ECM (PCM) calibration - go to step 4.B.

B. Flash reprogram the ECM (PCM).

NOTE

^ The GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station MUST be used in Power Supply Mode to maintain battery voltage at 13.5 volts while flash reprogramming the vehicle.

^ For details on how to use the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station, refer to the GR8 Instruction Manual located on the Technical Information System (TIS), Diagnostics - Tools & Equipment - Battery Diagnostics.

Follow the procedures outlined in Service Bulletin No. T-SB-0064-10, "Techstream ECU Flash Reprogramming Procedure", and flash the ECM (PCM) with the NEW calibration file update.

C. Install the Authorized Modifications Label.

(1) Using a permanent marker enter the following information on the label:

^ ECM part number [Refer to the Parts Information section for the CURRENT PART NUMBER]

^ Calibration ID(s) [Refer to the Calibration Identification Chart for the NEW CALIBRATION ID]

^ Dealer Code

^ Repair Date

^ Change Authority [This bulletin number]

(2) Affix the Authorized Modifications Label to the vehicle at the location shown in Figure 2. The Authorized Modifications Label is available through the MDC, P/N 00451-00001-LBL.

D. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature and test drive to confirm proper vehicle operation.

5. Replace the ECM (PCM).
