SUBJECT:

This bulletin supercedes TSB−15−13−001, issued March, 2015, to add PCV hose disconnection
details. Revisions are italicized and indicated by A.

PURPOSE

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
1. Reconnect PCV hose, if disconnected.

"

2. Confirm your MUT−III is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
3. 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.

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.

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.
1. If the PCV 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.

2. 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)
3. 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.

Confirm the database number displayed at the
top right of the chart is N15021 or higher

(1) If the database number displayed on your
MUT−III is N15021 or greater, continue to the
Reprogramming Procedure on page 5.
(2) 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.
