WARNING:
THIS MODIFICATION IS AUTHORIZED ONLY FOR THE LISTED ENGINE. PERFORMING THIS MODIFICATION ON OTHER ENGINE
CALIBRATIONS IS UNAUTHORIZED AND COULD CREATE LIABILITY UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR LOCAL LAWS.
The calibrations listed are current level calibrations, previous level calibrations are also included.
ISSUE:
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0176 may be stored in memory. There will be no
driveability concerns present. This may be caused by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calibration being too sensitive to certain engine conditions,
illuminating the MIL lamp falsely.
ACTION:
Reprogram the PCM. The revised calibration will delay the MIL lamp from illuminating prematurely. Refer to the following PCM Application Chart for
correct calibrations.
Obtain an Authorized Modification Decal (FPS 8262 - obtainable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of
modifications performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized
Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.
