ECU Upgrade - Driveability Improvement (Engine - 029)
(Updated 2007-03-12)
- Description
This service bulletin provides information regarding an ECU upgrade for Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) of 2005-2006 Amanti vehicles. This
upgrade will improve driveability while accelerating during cold engine
operation or after starting the engine.
To improve driveability under these conditions, an ECU upgrade should be performed using the Global Diagnostic System (GDS) tool as outlined 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.
*NOTICE
^
A fully charged battery is necessary before ECU upgrade can take place. DO NOT connect a battery charger to the vehicle during ECU upgrade.
Make sure the blower motor is "OFF" during ECU upgrade.
^
All ECU 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 ECU upgrade procedure.
^
DO NOT start the engine during ECU upgrade.
^
DO NOT turn the ignition key "OFF" or interrupt the power supply during ECU upgrade.
^
When the ECU upgrade is completed, turn the ignition key "OFF" and wait 20 seconds before starting the engine.
^
ONLY use approved ECU 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 ECM/PCM calibration.
