NISSAN DEALER ACTION
PC441 Titan XD ECM Reprogram
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
ECM Reprogramming:
NOTE:


Most instructions for reprogramming with CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) are
displayed on the CONSULT PC screen.



For the Titan XD Diesel, the GR8 set to ECM power supply mode can be attached to
either 12 volt battery.

CAUTION:


Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and set to ECM power supply mode.
If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or above 15.5V during
reprogramming, the ECM may be damaged.



Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged.



Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.



Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within
range of the CONSULT PC and the plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may
be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.
