TCM Reprogramming
G.

IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus)
Diagnostic result reporting function-Setting be turned ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) be
performed. If not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
 ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
 All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
 The CONSULT PC is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or cable).
NOTE:


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



If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link
you to the "CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure.

CAUTION:


Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V
during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.



Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the TCM 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 TCM 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 or plus VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
