SERVICE PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Do not interrupt the software update process in any way once it has begun. It may cause
permanent damage to the PCM which will require replacement. It is highly recommended to have a new

allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to
continuous charge.
NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently
accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading
is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to
lower the voltage.
