TCM Reprogramming
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).
1. Connect the plus Vehicle Interface (plus VI) to the vehicle.
CAUTION: Make sure the plus VI is securly connected. If the plus VI connection is
loose during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be
damaged.

2. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
CAUTION: 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.
3. Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger, set to reflash mode or a similar setting,
to the vehicle battery.
CAUTION: Be sure the battery maintainer or smart charger is connected securely to
the battery. Make sure the battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during
reprogramming. If the battery voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming,
the TCM may be damaged.
4. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range
of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
