This bulletin supersedes TSB−14−13−003, issued July, 2014 to expand the Affected Vehicles to
include additional models. For affected 2011 − 2013 models, linear air−fuel sensor (LAFS)
replacement is required. Revisions are not indicated as this bulletin has been completely
re−written.
PURPOSE
This TSB provides a field fix procedure to address false MIL illumination with DTC P2097 (Rear Oxygen
Sensor Feedback Control System Monitoring) stored in the ECM. To minimize false MIL illumination, this
software update optimizes the target A/F ratio adjustment condition when the accelerator pedal is depressed and released suddenly. For affected 2011 − 2013 models, the linear air−fuel sensor (LAFS) must
also be replaced.
BACKGROUND
During rear oxygen sensor feedback control system monitoring, if the accelerator pedal is depressed and
released suddenly, it may cause false MIL illumination due to an improper target A/F ratio adjustment setting.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2011 − 2014 Lancer/Lancer Sportback equipped with 4B1 1 (2.0L) or 4B12 (2.4L) engine (non−turbo)
− built before the end of May, 2014
2011 − 2013 Outlander equipped with 4B12 (2.4L) engine
2011 − 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
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1. Confirm your MUT−III is updated with the latest reprogramming database.
2. For affected 2011 − 2013 models, replace the linear air−fuel sensor .
3. Diagnose (and repair if necessary) the failure condition using the applicable service manual.
4. 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 ECM memory, diagnose and repair those DTCs
per the applicable 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 using 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. 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.
2. If the affected vehicle is a 2011 − 2013 model, replace the linear air−fuel sensor. Refer to the
applicable service manual, Group 15: Intake and Exhaust > Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler
(2.0L Engine Non−turbo, 2.4L Engine) > Removal and Installation.
3. Before beginning this reprogramming procedure, disconnect the negative (—) battery terminal
for 60 seconds or more to erase the learned value. Then reconnect it.
