Pcm Reprogramming For Spark Knock / Engine Pinging / MFI DTCS / Delayed Shift (TSB-05-13-002)

PCM REPROGRAMMING FOR SPARK KNOCK / ENGINE PINGING / MFI DTCS / DELAYED SHIFT

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

PURPOSE

Due to incorrect parameters in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software, some vehicles may experience one or more of the following:

• Spark knock
• Engine pinging
• DTC P0171 (System Too Lean)
• DTC P0300 (Cold Engine Misfire)
• DTC P0133/P0153 (Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response)
• Delayed shift engagement from Park to Reverse, or Park to Drive

To eliminate these conditions, reprogram the PCM as described in this bulletin.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2004-05 Endeavor

PROCEDURE

1. Check the underside of the hood to verify that there is no label previously installed to indicate that this TSB reprogramming has already been done.
2. Verify that the vehicle's PCM part number is listed in the table in Step 10 of this bulletin.
   1. Verify whether the ROM ID is the same as the ROM ID listed in the table in Step 10. If the ROM ID is the same as or higher than the ROM ID in the table, the PCM has already been reprogrammed for this concern.
3. Use the MUT-III to erase all DTCs set in the PCM.
4. Verify that your MUT-III has the most current version of the reprogramming database:
   1. Select "Special Function", then select "ECU Reprogramming."
   2. Select "Database File Display". The database version is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Make sure the database version is N05021 or greater.
   3. If the database version is less than N05021, go to Step 5.
   4. If the database version is N05021 or greater, go to Step 8.
5. Turn the ignition key to OFF and disconnect the MUT-III.
6. Gather the following reprogramming equipment:
   • MUT-III / STV Reflash Update CD 3/05 or later
   • Memory Card 128 MByte Compact Flash MB991853
   • Memory Card Adapter PCMCIA MB991939
   • "Engine Compartment/Control Module" Labels p/n MSSF-024G-00
   Fig 1: Reprogramming PCM

   
7. Install Reflash Update CD 3/05 in the MUT-III laptop. Follow the CD installation instructions.
8. Transfer the reprogramming data from the laptop to the memory card.
9. Remove the memory card from the laptop and install it in the VCI. Connect the VCI to the vehicle. YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE MUT-III LAPTOP.
10. Reprogram the PCM, using automatic reprogramming. For reprogramming details, refer to TSB-03-00-015 .

    It will take up to 20 minutes to complete the reprogramming.

    NOTE: If the message "ECU at Current Level of VCI" appears, the PCM did not reprogram. Verify that the ROM ID is the same as the ROM ID listed in the table below.

    • If the ROM ID is the same as or higher than the ROM ID in the table, the PCM has been reprogrammed for this concern.
    • If it is not, verify that the correct database update is in the MUT-III and was transferred to the memory card, and that the memory card is properly installed in the VCI.
    CAUTION: DO NOT DISTURB THE HARNESS CABLES OR CONNECTIONS. INTERRUPTION DURING THE PROGRAMMING PROCESS COULD CAUSE THE PCM TO LOSE DATA OR PREVENT FUTURE PCM REPROGRAMMING.
    1. After reprogramming is completed, the new ENG ROM ID and new A/T ROM ID will display alternately with the message "Turn IG SW OFF" every four seconds. Note this information. Verify that the new PCM part number and ROM ID's are the same as those listed in the table below.

12. Carefully remove all dirt and oil from a vacant area near the VECI label on the underside of the hood, and affix the Engine Compartment label.
13. Affix the Control Module label to the PCM.
