Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start Condition
No: TSB-08-13-004
DATE: April, 2008
MODEL: 2008-09 Lancer
SUBJECT:
ECM REPROGRAMMING FOR NO START OR HARD TO START
PURPOSE
Customers of some affected vehicles may complain that the engine cranks for a long time but does not start. Some customers may state that the vehicle
will start if they then depress the accelerator pedal slightly while cranking. The condition is due to an incorrect parameter in the ECM that closes the
Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) during start-up and doesn't allow sufficient air flow.
This TSB advises technicians to reprogram the ECM with new software to correct the parameters controlling the ETV.
AFFECTED VEHICLE(S)
