This bulletin supercedes TSB-15-13-001REV, issued July, 2015, to add a more detailed illustration of PCV hose connection, and update Warranty labor time. Revisions are italicized and indicated by .

PURPOSE

Due to a rich air fuel ratio, affected vehicles may experience engine stalling at low engine speed, just prior to stopping or during idling, when operated in high ambient temperature conditions, which may lead to PCV hose disconnection. If this condition were to occur, a stalled engine can immediately be restarted.

This TSB instructs dealers to reprogram the ECM with new software that optimizes the air fuel ratio.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2014 - 2015 Mirage vehicles equipped with a CVT and built before January 19, 2015

REQUIRED OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Reconnect PCV hose, if disconnected.
Confirm your MUT-III is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
Reprogram the ECM with the new software. Refer to the ECM Reprogramming Chart for new software information.

IMPORTANT: If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming, and DTCs are listed in the ECM memory, diagnose and repair those DTCs per the service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the ECM until the reason(s) for other DTCs being set is corrected.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE: Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database (i.e. N15021) includes all past and current reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the ECM for each previous TSB.

If the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) hose is detached at either end (usually at intake manifold end), and is not damaged, reconnect it (red hose in illustration). Only replace the hose if it is damaged.
Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no “Authorized Modification” label (see page 11 for example) previously installed to indicate this reprogramming has already been completed. If a label is present and the “ROM ID #” on the label matches the “New S/W Part No.” in the table above, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary. Conduct normal diagnosis for the described condition.

	For MEDIC 3/4 users only: (MUT-III users go to step 5) Verify the MEDIC 3/4 is at version 3.2 and at update 321 or higher. If your MEDIC 3/4 update is at least 321, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure on page 5. If your MEDIC 3/4 update is below 321, update your MEDIC as follows.
	Select the MEDIC 3/4 Admin tab and click on “Updates.”
	IF the MEDIC update screen advises updates are available, click the “Begin” button. After all updates are complete, GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 5.
	STANDALONE MUT-III SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3 USERS GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 5). Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database: From the MUT-III Main Page: - Select “Special Function” - Select “ECU Reprogramming” - Select :Database File Display-CAN” - Confirm the database number displayed at the top right of the chart is N15021 or higher If the database number displayed on your MUT-III is N15021 or greater, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure on page 5. If the reprogramming database number displayed on your MUT-III is lower than N15021, locate the reprogramming CD containing database N15021 and follow the instructions provided with the CD to update your MUT-III.

REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Caution!

CONNECT A BATTERY CHARGER TO THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE. DO NOT ALLOW THE BATTERY CHARGER TO TIME OUT. BATTERY VOLTAGE (AS MEASURED AT THE BATTERY POSTS WITHOUT ELECTRICAL LOAD) MUST BE KEPT AT 12.4V OR HIGHER IN ORDER TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. MEASURE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND CHARGE AS NECESSARY.

NOTE: VCI Stand-alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure.
