Bulletin No.: 01-015/19
Condition
A
Last Issued: 08/12/2019
Condition Description
When cranking is interrupted (likely occurs when
the brake pedal is released during cranking)
B
When accelerating from 1300-1600
rpm with wide open throttle
Due to an improper control logic of the PCM, the engine torque calculation error detection is too sensitive.
To eliminate this concern, the PCM software has been modified.
Explain to the customer:
This is not an actual failure of the engine, but a false detection of the failure caused by the improper
engine control software. With the false failure, the engine control computer turned on the Fail Safe
mode, resulting in reduced engine rpm. To avoid the false detection in the future, the engine control
software has been updated.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Were any MAF sensor and/or IAT sensor DTC(s) were stored?
- Yes: This TSB does not apply. Diagnose DTC(s) according to the instructions on MGSS online.
- No: Proceed to Step 3.
3. Check the FFD. WasDTC P061B:00 stored during engine cranking or when accelerating from 1300-1600
rpm with wide open throttle?
- Yes: Proceed to Step 4.
- No: This TSB does not apply. Diagnose DTC according to the instructions on MGSS online.
4. Refer to the table below and determine if PCM reprogramming is applicable to the subject vehicle.

PCM REPROGRAMMING:
ATTENTION: READ ALL CAUTIONS AND NOTES BEFORE AND AFTER REPROGRAMMING PCM!
CAUTION:
• IF IDS DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT BATTERY POWER, THE REPROGRAMMING WILL FAIL.
• PCM DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF THE CORRECT BATTERY CHARGER SETTING IS NOT USED.
• SET THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO "POWER SUPPLY MODE" DURING PCM
REPROGRAMMING.
• POWER SUPPLY MODE will maintain proper battery voltages during PCM reprogramming.
• If a different charger is used, MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT EXCEED 20 AMPS. IF IT EXCEEDS 20
AMPS, IT COULD DAMAGE THE PCM.
• The charger MUST be connected directly to the vehicle battery.
• It is NOT necessary to remove any fuses or relays during PCM reprogramming when the IDS screen
prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the PCM terminals and CAUSE THE PCM
TO BE BLANKED, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure.
• Start/Stop button vehicles: DO NOT press the start/stop button during the reprogramming process.
BEFORE REPROGRAMMING PCM:
NOTE:
• Verify the current PCM file name in the vehicle by log view screen. If it's the same as shown in the
chart(s) below (or a later one), you do not need to reprogram the PCM.
• Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration file
for PCM reprogramming.
• If the vehicle exhibits any trouble codes or driveability symptoms, diagnose and repair using MGSS
BEFORE attempting to reprogram the PCM.
• When reprogramming a PCM, IDS will always display the “latest” calibration P/N available for that vehicle.
If any calibration has been revised/updated to contain new information for a new service concern, it will also
contain all previously released calibrations.
• Confirm the DLC cable is in good condition before attempting to reprogram the PCM.
PCM REPROGRAMMING:
1. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
2. Using the latest IDS Software available, reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration (refer to “Calibration
Information” table) by following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.
3. Verify the file name matches with the Calibration chart(s) below.
4. Clear all DTCs.
5. Start the engine and confirm that no warning lights stay on.
6. Record the customers radio presets from the infotainment system.
7. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 30 seconds to reset the fuel control learning data.
8. Re-connect the negative battery cable.
9. Re-enter the customers presets into the infotainment system.

• IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the PCM.
• If any DTCs should remain after performing DTC erase, diagnose the DTC0 using MGSS online
instructions and submit a warranty claim according to the normal warranty procedure.
• Be aware that PCM calibration part numbers and file names listed in any Service Bulletin may change due
to future releases of IDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations for service related
concerns.
