*****Dealer Announcement*****
Nissan is conducting a dealer inventory service action to update Electronic Control Module
(ECM) software on 3,195 specific 2016 Rogue vehicles identified in Service Comm. On the
affected vehicles, the ECM ROM (Read Only Memory) contains an error that prevents the
MIL from illuminating if the tumble control valve position sensor fails. Emissions and vehicle
drivability are not affected by this error, but the vehicles are non-compliant with On-Board
Diagnostics regulations.
These vehicles are either currently in dealer inventory or assigned and in transit to the
dealer.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should not sell or trade any affected 2016 Rogue vehicles in
dealer inventory subject to this service action until the ECM software has been
updated.
*****What Dealers Should Do*****
PLEASE FOLLOW THE ATTACHED REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Verify if vehicles currently in dealer inventory are affected by this inventory
inspection using Service Comm I.D. PC404.
2. Use the attached procedure to install the updated software.
3. The service department should submit the applicable warranty claim for the action
performed so it can be closed on Service Comm and release the vehicle.
***** Dealer Responsibility *****
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm using the appropriate campaign I.D
for the inspection status on each affected vehicle currently in inventory. Nissan requests
dealers to perform this repair on vehicles in inventory prior to being retailed to ensure
compliance.

Reprogramming Procedure


Vehicles Conditioning for ECM Reprogramming
 Engine coolant temperature: 70 – 100°C
(158 – 212°F)
 Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
 Transmission: Warmed up

NOTE:


After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed
Position, Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL), Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase.



The above conditions are required for the IAVL to complete.

1. Connect the plus Vehicle Interface (plus VI) to the vehicle.


Make sure to use the correct VI for C-III plus (plus VI).
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 ECM 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 ECM may be damaged.

3. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery:
For Conventional Vehicles


Set the battery charger at a low charge rate.
NOTE: The GR-8 (Battery and Electrical Diagnostic Station) set to “Power Supply” mode is
recommended.
CAUTION: Be sure the battery 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 ECM 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.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn off all external Bluetooth® devices. If Bluetooth® signal
waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted, and the ECM may be damaged.
5. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF or “not ready”.


The engine must not start or run during the reprogramming procedure.

6. Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC, blower, rear
defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. 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 ECM may be damaged.

7. Turn ON the CONSULT PC.

8. Select CONSULT-III plus (open C-III plus).

9. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized / connected.


Serial number will display when the plus VI is recognized / connected.
