Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
PDM Reprogramming
IMPORTANT: Before continuing, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.



All CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) software updates (if any) have been installed.



The CONSULT PC is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or cable).

To avoid vehicle damage, disconnect the Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE).
DO NOT charge the High Voltage (HV) lithium-ion battery during reprogramming.
NOTE: Check to see if the timer for either charging or climate control is ON. If ON,
turn it OFF and make sure to turn it back ON after reprogramming.



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



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