Claim Information
Dealer Program Responsibility - All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers possession and subject to this program must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this program
bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this program at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time
forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the
dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in
this bulletin. Program follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, you must take the
steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Service Procedure
Notice:
Before reprogramming; please check the battery condition to prevent a reprogramming error of any of the modules due to battery discharge. Battery
voltage must be between 12 and 16 volts during reprogramming. If the vehicle battery is not fully charged, use jumper cables from an additional
battery. Be sure to turn off or disable any system that may put a load on the battery; such as automatic headlamps, daytime running lights, interior
lights, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, radio, engine cooling fan, etc. A programming failure or control module damage
may occur if battery voltage guidelines are not observed.
The ignition switch must be in the proper position. The Service Programming System (SPS) application prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with the
engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the programming procedure, unless instructed to do so.
Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits:
^
The RS-232 communication cable port
^
The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
^
The voltage supply circuits
DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming procedure, programming failure or control
module damage may occur.
DO NOT turn OFF the ignition if the programming procedure is interrupted or unsuccessful. Ensure that all control module and DLC connections are
secure and the TIS terminal operating software is up to date.
Verify that there is a battery charge of 12 to 16 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Use an additional jump battery
if necessary. Only use approved Midtronics charger or Jumper Packs, etc. to maintain proper battery voltage during programming.
