SUBJECT:
Electronic Throttle System Software - Upgrade.

REFERENCE:
TNN 149A

DESCRIPTION:

Beginning March 17th 2006 there will be an Electronic Throttle System (ETS) software upgrade available for the vehicles listed above. The software contains changes that will reduce driver disturbances by allowing the system to better differentiate between glitches or minor disturbances, and system faults. The upgraded software will also reduce driver disturbances due to idle oscillations caused by dirt build-up in the throttle. TNN 25-149A will be updated to guide service technicians on the changes. The fault tracing for each DTC in the TNN will give guidance on where it is appropriate to use the software as a solution for DTC's triggered in the vehicles current software. As the ETS software resides in both the Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM), both will receive new software with the upgrade.

When to download the Electronic throttle system upgrade:

^ The Electronic throttle system software upgrade should be installed into a customer's vehicle at the first service opportunity. Where the customer requests or consents to the upgrade.

1. If there are no ETS faults in the vehicle, and the customer requests or consents to their ETS being upgraded with the latest software, proceed to download the software as described in the "Service" section below.

2. Should the vehicle be brought in with an existent ETS fault:

Fault trace according to INN 25-149A, to best determine if the fault will be resolved by upgrading the software. A repair or service may be needed before upgrading the software.

Please check the TNN date to ensure the latest version is always being used.

Important Note:
Current VIDA fault tracing for ETS should not be followed unless indicated as part of a diagnosis for a DTC in TNN 25-149A.

If either ETM or ECM should need to be replaced, as part of fault tracing, both the ETM and the ECM will receive the upgraded software, when the new Module is downloaded. And the upgrade would not need to be made subsequently.

SERVICE:





Upgrade the ETS using the appropriate software part number in the table shown, for the vehicle being serviced.





If necessary the upgraded ETS software can be confirmed in a vehicle, by reading the software part numbers shown from the ECM and ETM using VIDA.

If you have a 5 cylinder non turbo where the ECM software is in the series 30785 (118xx - 128xx) and ETM software part # is 3078517 (8A-9A), the latest ETS software is in the vehicle.

For any other engine if the ECM software is in the series 30785 (203xx - 240xx) and the ETM software is 30785180A the latest ETS software is in the vehicle.

SW part #'s other than in the table above indicate that the upgrade has not been applied to the vehicle.
