Service Information

This service bulletin provides information related to a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) upgrade for 2007 Sorento (BL) 3.8L models.

Some 2007MY Sorento (BL) models with a 3.8L may exhibit Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination with the following Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stored in the PCM:

To correct this DTC occurrence, the PCM should be reprogrammed using the GDS download as described in this bulletin.

NOTE: Global Diagnostic System (GDS) users should access the "Notice" function from the GDS Main Screen for instructions regarding ECU upgrade events.
NOTE:
  • A fully charged battery is necessary before PCM upgrade can take place. DO NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during PCM upgrade. Make sure the blower motor is 'OFF' during PCM upgrade.
  • All PCM upgrades must be done with the ignition key in the 'ON' position.
  • Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or GDS during the PCM upgrade procedure.
  • DO NOT start the engine during PCM upgrade.
  • DO NOT turn the ignition key 'OFF' or interrupt the power supply during PCM upgrade.
  • When the PCM upgrade is completed, turn the ignition key 'OFF' and wait 20 seconds before starting the engine.
  • ONLY use approved PCM upgrade software designated for the correct model, year and engine size. Failure to do so may create other driveability issues due to the use of the incorrect PCM calibration.

Service Procedure

  1. Connect the power supply cable to the GDS tool.
    NOTE: If attempting to perform the PCM upgrade with the power supply cable disconnected from the GDS tool, be sure to check that the GDS tool is fully charged before PCM upgrade. If the GDS tool is not fully charged, failure to perform the PCM upgrade may occur. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the power supply connector be connected to the GDS tool.
  2. Connect the USB cable between the Vehicle Communications Interface (VCI) and the GDS tool.
    NOTE: When performing the PCM upgrade using the GDS tool, wireless communication between the VCI and GDS tool is not available. Therefore, be sure to connect the USB cable between the VCI and the GDS tool.
  3. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the VCI.
  4. Connect the Main 16-pin DLC cable (GHDM - 241000) to the OBD-II connector, located under the driver's side of the instrument panel.
