Reprogramming Procedure
REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURECONNECT 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 POST 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.
Connect the equipment as follows:
^ 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-III 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 vehicles data link connector.
^ Turn the VCI power switch ON. Verify that the indicator lamp in the upper right corner of the screen is green.
CAUTION
DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS COULD CAUSE THE CONTROL UNIT TO LOSE DATA OR PREVENT FUTURE REPROGRAMMING. IF THE USB CABLE IS DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE, A WARNING MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY.
ECM Reprogramming

ETV RELEARN PROCEDURE
1. Start the engine and let it warm up. Use the Data List under MFI on the MUT-III to confirm the engine coolant temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). The A/C switch should be OFF for this procedure.
2. Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the MUT-III.
3. Repeat the following steps 3 times:
^ Start the engine.
^ Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait at least 10 seconds.

The ETV Relearn Procedure is complete.
5. Drive the vehicle under the conditions described by the freeze frame data recorded in Step 1 of the Repair Procedure and confirm DTCs do not reset.
6. If misfire DTCs reset diagnose and repair as per the service manual.
