ACTION REQUIRED
Determine the Electronic Control Module (ECM) Personality Module Part Number. If the ECM Personality Module Part Number currently installed on the truck is not the same as the Part Number listed on SISWeb, the truck must be flashed with the correct ECM Personality Module Part Number. After determining the correct ECM software to be flashed, download the correct Personality Module Software from SISWeb and save the software file on your service tool computer. Using ET, connect to the engine ECM. Copy the current engine ECM Configuration. This will save the customer configuration and injector trim codes. Before copying the ECM Configuration, make sure the dashboard display in ET is disabled or the file may not copy injector trim files correctly. To shut the dashboard display off, toggle the dashboard display button in the lower right hand corner of the active diagnostics or ECM summary windows in ET. The service tool dashboard should be red when disabled. Disconnect ET from the engine ECM by clicking on the disconnect button at the top of the ET screen and then reconnect. In ET, click on the "Service" drop down menu and select "Configuration" then "Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement". Save this file to be used later in the procedure. Using the "Reset All" button, clear all Active Diagnostic Codes. Connect to the ECM with "WinFlash". Select the latest Personality Module Software Part Number for your rating, begin the flashing process. After the flash process is complete reconnect with ET. Review the "Configuration" to ensure Injector trim files and other configurable parameters are correct. Other configuration parameters can be restored by uploading the ECM replacement file saved earlier in this procedure if needed. Go to the parameter screen in ET and go to Exhaust Brake/Warm Up Enable option. Select parameter and change from Exhaust Brake to Warm Up Enable. If the service letter is being performed pro-actively, flashing and any additional repairs performed to correct new active codes caused by flashing the new software should be submitted to warranty using PD code 56. Run the truck to ensure proper operation. |
