PURPOSE
After driving in cold, snowy conditions (below 32° F / 0° C), vapor from melted snow enters the air cleaner
assembly and forms frost when the vehicle is parked. When driving after the vehicle has been parked for
several hours, this frost sticks to the AFS, causes false MIL illumination and the vehicle goes into safety
mode.
This TSB provides a field fix procedure to address false MIL illumination with DTC P061A (Internal Control
Module Torque Performance) or P0068 (MAP-MAF Throttle Position Correlation) stored in the ECM. To
minimize the false MIL illumination, this software update optimizes the malfunction judgment time.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
2014 Outlander Sport/RVR equipped with 4B11 (2.0L) engine
− CVT equipped vehicles built before approximately June, 13 2014 (first VIN 4A4AR3AU3EE032036)
− 5 M/T equipped vehicles built before the end of June, 2014
Use MUT−III to read the software ID, then compare it to the reprogramming chart on page 2 to confirm
if a vehicle requires reprogramming.

REQUIRED OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1. Confirm your MUT−III software is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2. 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 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.

VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) − MB991824 or
VCI LITE − MB992744

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE: Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database (i.e. N14051) includes all past and current
reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. It is not necessary to reprogram the ECM for each
previous TSB.
1. 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 users only: (MUT−III users go to step 5)
2. Verify the MEDIC 3 is at version 3.1 and at update 266
or higher.
If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 266, continue with
the Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
If your MEDIC 3 update is below 266, update your
MEDIC 3 as follows.

Ver. and Update
numbers

3. Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click on “Updates.”

available, click the “Begin” button. After all updates are
complete, GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING
PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4.

Click “Begin”

N14051

5. STANDALONE MUT−III SCAN TOOL VIEWER (STV)
ONLY:
(MEDIC 3 USERS GO TO THE
REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 4).
Verify that your MUT−III has the most current version
of the reprogramming database:
a. From the MUT−III Main Page:
D

Select “Special Function”

D

Select “ECU Reprogramming”

D

Select :Database File Display−CAN”

D

Confirm the database number displayed at the
top right of the chart is N14051 or higher

(1) If the database number displayed on your
MUT−III is N14051 or greater, continue to the
Reprogramming Procedure on page 4.
(2) If the reprogramming database number
displayed on your MUT−III is lower than
N14051, locate the
reprogramming CD
containing database N14051 and follow the
instructions provided with the CD to update
your MUT−III.

REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
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.

Connect the equipment as follows:
USB CABLE
VCI − LAPTOP

MEDIC−II / MUT−III

VCI−Lite

MEDIC / MUT−III COMPUTER

D

Turn the laptop computer on. If you’re running on battery power and the charge indicator in the lower
right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the laptop
battery be charged prior to beginning, or that reprogramming be completed with the A/C power adaptor connected to the laptop.

D

Connect the USB cable to the VCI (or VCI−LITE).

D

When the laptop displays the MUT−III main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop.

D

Connect the MUT−III main harness (blue DLC connector) to the VCI.

D

Connect the blue connector of the MUT−III main harness to the vehicle’s data link connector.

D

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