Update Programming ECM to Eliminate DTC 03366 Stored in Brake Electronics Fault Memory
Customers may complain of a Brake Warning Light ON in the instrument cluster.
Tip:
This software update is designed to re-program both the ECM and TCM with new software. The re-programming
itself should carry out the updates without technician intervention. Please ensure both ECM and TCM software has
been updated after the flash is completed.

The following fault code may be stored in the Brake Electronics Fault Memory:

DTC

Description

03366

Brake electronics - (03366) Vacuum Sensor -G608 Implausible Signal

Note:
DO NOT diagnose or replace components due to 03366 fault before performing the update function as explained
in this bulletin.

Technical Bulletin
Technical Background
If vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, TCM must be reprogrammed along with the ECM. If
vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, TCM reprogramming is not possible.
This condition occurs due to an incorrect sampling rate between the ECM and the G608 Vacuum Sensor. The
symptom as described will store the fault 03366 in the Brake Electronics Fault Memory. This fault will cause the
Brake Warning Light to display in the instrument cluster
DO NOT replace any parts for this condition.
The condition as described does not affect vehicle braking performance or operation.

Production Solution
Improved ECM software was introduced in production.

Service
Update-Programming Procedure:

Tip:
To Update-Programming using SVM, review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin Instance 2014603
“Software Version Management”.
The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A
warranty claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim.

Note:
Prior to launching the VAS-PC and ODIS service diagnostic applications and starting control module update
process, confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment Service Information Circular # VVT-12-02. Failure to do so may result in the tester entering power save mode
during data transfer, and subsequent control module failure.
When using a VAS 6150/5051B or VAS 5052A tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head
for a flash procedure, please connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Failure to do so
may lead to errors during the flash procedure.
VAS tools must only be used with their power adapters plugged in. Under no circumstances should they be used
on battery power alone during the programming procedure.

Technical Bulletin
Critical Warning: The Midtronics Battery Charger must be connected to the vehicle battery for the duration of the
programming, to ensure the battery state of charge remains above 12.5 volts during the update process. If the
battery drops below 12.5 volts, the programming could fail which may result in damage to the control module.
Control modules damaged by inadequate voltage will not be covered under the warranty policy. The technician
should verify the vehicle voltage prior to starting the update process, and should monitor the voltage for the
duration of the update.
