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.



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 VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC or VI during reprogramming, reprogramming
may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.

In some cases, more than one new P/N for reprogramming is available.
 If more than one new P/N is available, the screen in Figure 167 displays.
 Select and use the reprogramming option that does not have the message
“Caution! Use ONLY with NTBXX-XXX”.



If you get this screen and it is blank (no reprogramming listed), it means there is
