CALIBRATION:
5-38D-R00, 5-38D-R05,

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.
ISSUE:
Insufficient air flow within the diverter valve/hoses may cause the MIL to illuminate and set Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0411. This may be due to
moisture being trapped in the diverter valve/hoses which freezes, and then does not allow for sufficient air flow.
ACTION:
Use the following Service Procedure to determine if reprogramming or replacing the PCM with a revised calibration/PCM is required.
NOTE:
DEALERS WITH SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (SBDS) ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN REGIONAL APPROVAL WHEN IT IS
NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Perform the diagnostic procedure in the 1996 Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Car/Truck Service Manual. Service as required.
2.
Reprogram or replace the PCM. Dealers with SBDS are required to reprogram the PCM with the appropriate calibration per the Application Chart
using the latest calibration update 1996 CD-ROM or later. Dealers without SBDS, refer to the Application Chart to determine the correct PCM.
