DATA COLLECTION: EXTRACT CALIFORNIA
EMISSIONS DATA FROM ECU (DC26)

 NOTICE
This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this
bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area.
This bulletin provides information related to extracting “in use monitoring performance tracking” emissions
data from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of certain vehicles sold in California. The California Air Resources
Board (CARB) requires the emissions data from vehicles with a minimum of 3,000 accumulated miles
without reprogramming or resetting. To facilitate collection of this data at the dealer level, KDS screenshots
will allow the capture of relevant parameters. Note that a “Web Based” KDS IUMPR Data Collection
procedure is outlined. Reference TSB SST064.

 NOTICE
If the vehicle meets the criteria below, California dealers must perform this data collection on
vehicles whenever an affected vehicle is in the shop and prior to any campaign, maintenance, or
repair-related activities.
This data collection DOES NOT apply to vehicles or dealers operating outside of California.
Once sufficient data is collected, individual line items per model may be closed without updates to
the TSB. Once a line item is closed on Dealer Communication System (DCS), no further data
collection is required. Data collections initiated after a line item is closed are subject to chargeback.
For vehicles listed on DCS as requiring this procedure, follow the instructions in this bulletin after confirming
that the following criteria are met:
•

KDealer+ shows this as an open Data Collection code DC26XXXX (depending on model; see table on
page 7) for the vehicle.

•

Vehicle has more than 3,000 accumulated miles on its odometer.

•

Vehicle repair history does not show battery replacement/disconnection/reset or an ECU update done
in the last 3,000 miles, because IUMPR (In Use Monitor Performance Ratio) data would have been
cleared by such an event.

•

Vehicle does not have a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ON.

A printed copy is for reference only; publication information can be updated at any time.
