TCM Reprogramming
IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT 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).

HINT:


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

207. Connect the Vehicle Interface (VI) to the vehicle.
Make sure the VI is securly connected. If the VI connection is loose during
reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
208. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
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.
209. Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger, set to reflash mode or a similar setting,
to the vehicle battery.
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.
210. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within
range of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
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 TCM may be damaged.

107/147

211. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.


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

212. Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC,
blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
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 TCM may be damaged.
213. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure.
214. Start C-III plus.
215. If prompted, select USA/CANADA Dealers from the drop down menu, and then
select OK.
216. Login using your NNAnet credentials.
IMPORTANT: If not prompted to enter your username and password, the CONSULT
PC may not be connected to Wi-Fi. Close C-III plus, confirm the CONSULT PC is
connected to Wi-Fi, and then reopen C-III plus.
217. Wait for the VI to be recognized.
