ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR MIL ILLUMINATES,
DTC P1241 OR P061A STORED IN ECM

PURPOSE
For some vehicles, normal Electric Throttle Valve (ETV) fluctuations may cause actual torque to exceed
Permitted Torque at low engine speeds. An improper Permitted Torque threshold may then cause false
MIL illumination. A software update optimizes the Permitted Torque threshold value to minimize false MIL
illumination.
This Service Campaign Bulletin provides field fix procedures for reprogramming the ECM with new
software to address false MIL illumination with torque monitor P1241 (2008−2010 models) or P061A
(2011−2014 models) stored in memory.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles with 4B11 turbocharged engines
S 2008−2014 Lancer Evolution equipped with 5 M/T built before September 23, 2013
S 2008−2014 Lancer Evolution equipped with TC−SST built before September 25, 2013
S 2009−2014 Lancer RAE built before September 25, 2013
S 2009−2011 Lancer Sportback RAE
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1. Confirm your MUT−III is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2. Reprogram the ECM with the new software. See the ECM Reprogramming Chart for new software
information.
IMPORTANT: Before a vehicle is reprogrammed, you must always FIRST explain to the customer
what the reprogram will do and get customer permission to reprogram the ECM. If an affected
vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated before reprogramming and DTCs other than
described above 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.N13112) includes all past and current
reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. You do not need to reprogram the ECM for each
TSB.
1. Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no “Authorized Modification” label (see page 12 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
subject condition.
For MEDIC 3 users only: (MUT−III users go to step 5)
2. Verify the MEDIC 3 is at version 3.1 and at update 235
or higher.
If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 235, continue with
the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
If your MEDIC 3 update is below 235, update your
MEDIC 3 as follows.
