SUBJECT:
ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR DTC P1320

THIS TSB SUPERCEDES TSB-08-13-006REVII, ISSUED MAY, 2008, TO REVISE THE REPROGRAMMING SOFTWARE FOR HIGH ALTITUDE INCIDENTS AND ADD AFFECTED VEHICLES. REVISED INFORMATION IS INDICATED BY <.

PURPOSE

Some customers of affected vehicles may experience illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with DTC P1320 stored in memory, or a drop in engine speed at idle. The Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) may learn an incorrect position when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position from the ON position without starting the engine.

If the vehicle is driven with this condition, the ETV mis-learns Idle Speed Control. As a result, the intake air volume is insufficient to achieve the initial idle speed target, causing DTC P1320 to be set, or engine idle speed to drop.

This Technical Service Bulletin advises the steps to reprogram the ECM with new parameters and to perform the ETV learning process.
