MODEL: See below
SUBJECT:
ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR DTC P0016 or P0017:
CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT POSITION
This bulletin supercedes TSB-11-13-008REVII, issued November; 2011, to clarify REQUIRED / OPERATIONS and change their order. Changes are noted by asterisks.
PURPOSE
Some affected vehicles may display an illuminated MIL with DTC P0016 Crankshaft/Camshaft Intake Position or P0017 - Crankshaft/Camshaft Exhaust Position Sensor Phase Problem recorded in the ECM. An incorrect parameter in the judgment criteria may cause mis-detection of a fault without there being an abnormal condition.
This TSB provides dealers with a procedure to reprogram the ECM with new software to correct the condition.
IMPORTANT:
If an affected vehicle has a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated and DTCs other than those described above are listed in the ECM memory (before reprogramming) diagnose and repair those DTCs per the service manual before reprogramming. DO NOT reprogram the ECM until the reason(s) for other DTCs being set is corrected.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2010-2011 Lancer Evolution built before January 27, 2011.
2010-2011 Lancer/Lancer Sportback RAE built before January 27, 2011.
2010-2011 Lancer/Lancer Sportback built before January 27, 2011.
2010-2011 Outlander w/2.4L engine built before January 27, 2011.
2011 Outlander Sport (RVR) built before January 27, 2011.
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
*NOTE:
This revision affects only written procedures in the OVERVIEW that follow Affected Vehicles that were previously reprogrammed for this condition DO NOT require additional reprogramming, but may require additional inspections and repairs if they were not previously completed.*
OVERVIEW
NOTE:
MIL illumination may return if ALL steps of this procedure are not performed.
1. Confirm MUT-III software contains the latest reprogramming database.
2. Reprogram the ECM with new software per the Reprogramming Procedure.
*3. Reset the Timing Chain Learned Value as described in Group 00 - General - Timing Chain Maintenance, of the service manual. *
4. Perform "Erase and Read All DTCs."
5. Perform a test drive to confirm DTCs do not return.
6. Correct any fault found during diagnosis including:
* a. Remove the MiVEC oil control valve(s) and inspect for foreign material. *
* b. Remove the valve cover and check if the timing chain is out of position on the sprocket.*
For affected Lancer Evolution, Lancer RAE and Lancer Sportback RAE vehicles only.
Pay special attention to visually check timing chain elongation (stretch) using procedures described
in Group 11A - Engine - Timing Chain Elongation visual check. If the timing chain is stretched, replace it and the oil pump chain using procedures described in Group 11A - Engine, of the service manual.
The following equipment is needed to reprogram the ECM.
^ MEDIC laptop computer with A/C power adaptor - 520924, or M1T547708.
^ VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) - MB991824.

^ Reprogramming Database N11101 or higher
^ MEDIC 3 update at 085 or higher.
o Standalone MUT-III laptop with Reprogramming CD 2/11 installed.
ECM REPROGRAMMING CHART
REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Reprogramming the ECM with the latest database (i.e. 11101) includes all past and current reprogramming for TSBs of affected vehicles. You do not need to reprogram the ECM for each TSB.
1. Check the underside of the hood to verify there is no "Authorized Modification" label (see example at the end of bulletin) previously installed to indicate this reprogramming has already been completed. If a label is present and the "ROM ID #" on the label matches the "New 51W Part No." in the table above, the ECM is at the latest level and reprogramming is not necessary. Conduct normal diagnosis for the subject DTCs.
For MEDIC 3 users only : (MUT-III users go to step 5)
2. Verify the MEDIC 3 is at version 3.1 and at update 085 or higher.
If your MEDIC 3 update is at least 085, continue with the Reprogramming Procedure.
If your MEDIC 3 updated is below 085, update is below 085, update your MEDIC 3 as follows.
3. Select the MEDIC 3 Admin tab and click on "Updates."
4. If the MEDIC update screen advises updates are available, click the "Begin" button. After all updates are complete, GO TO THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE.
5. Standalone MUT-III Scan Tool Viewer (STV) ONLY: (MEDIC 3 USERS go to the Programming Procedure. Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:
a. From the MUT-III Main Page:
^ Select "Special Function"
^ Select "ECU Reprogramming"
^ Select "Database File Display-CAN"
^ Confirm the database number displayed at the top right of the chart is N11101.
1. If the database number displayed on your MUT-III is N11101 or greater, continue to the Reprogramming Procedure.
2. If the database number displayed on your MUT-III is lower than N11101, locate the Yellow MUT-III Reflash CD 02/11 and follow the instructions on the CD label to update your MUT-III.
REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
CONNECT A BATTERY CHARGER TO THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE. DO NOT ALLOW THE BATTERY CHARGER TO TIME OUT. BATTERY VOLTAGE (AS MEASURED AT THE BATTERY POSTS WITHOUT ELECTRICAL LOAD) MUST BE KEPT AT 12.4V OR HIGHER IN ORDER TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. MEASURE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND CHARGE AS NECESSARY.
NOTE:
VCI Stand-alone reprogramming is not available for this procedure. The laptop and the VCI must remain connected for the entire procedure.
^ Turn the laptop computer on. If you're running on battery power and the charge indicator in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show a full charge, it is recommended that either the laptop battery be charged prior to beginning, or that reprogramming be completed with the A/C power adaptor connected to the laptop.
^ Connect the USB cable to the VCI.
^ When the laptop displays the MUT-Ill main screen, connect the USB cable to the laptop.
^ Connect the MUT-III main harness with the blue DLC connection to the VCI.
^ Connect the blue connector of the MUT-III main harness to the vehicle's data link connector.
^ Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.
ECM Reprogramming
