Navigation - Erratic Time Displays With Radio In CD Mode
Bulletin No: 09-028/09
Last Issued: 06/19/2009
Subject:
NAVIGATION RADIO - WHEN ON IN C/D MODE THE TIME DISPLAYS TWICE IN THE FDIM
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2009 Tribute Hybrid
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles equipped with Navigation radio, may exhibit a concern when turning on the audio unit in C/D mode. The time will display twice in the
Front Display Interface Module (FDIM), both in the center and in the upper right hand corner. Normal operation should be the time displaying in the
center of the FDIM when the Navigation unit is off and in the upper right hand corner of the FDIM when the Navigation unit is on.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
2. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
3. Using IDS 61.04 or later software (the VCM 2009.5 DVD did not include this calibration file), reprogram the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)
to the latest calibration (refer to "Calibration Information" table) by following the "Module Reprogramming" procedure.
NOTE:
^ Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration file for FDIM reprogramming.
^ It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during FDIM reprogramming when the IDS screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop
power to one of the FDIM terminals and cause the FDIM to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure.
^ IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the FDIM.
^ Please be aware that FDIM calibration part numbers and file names listed in any Service Bulletin
may change due to future releases of IDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations
for service related concerns.
^ When reprogramming a FDIM, IDS will always display the "latest" calibration P/N available for that vehicle. If any calibration has been
revised/updated to contain new information for a new service concern/issue, it will also contain all previously released calibrations.
^ When performing this procedure, we recommend that a battery charger be installed on the vehicle battery and turned ON to a maximum charge of no
more than 20 AMPS to keep the vehicle battery up to capacity. If you exceed 20 AMPS, it could damage the VCM.
4. Verify repair.
