Service Procedure

NOTE:
Only StarMOBILE can be used to perform this recall. Attempting to use the StarSCAN will cause an error message indicating "This ECU cannot be flashed by StarSCAN. Please flash this ECU with StarMOBILE."

This procedure must be performed with software at the latest release. If this WIN flash is aborted or interrupted, repeat the procedure.

1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.2 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger voltmeter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

2. Connect the StarMOBILE scan tool to the vehicle data link connector located under the steering column and place the ignition to the "RUN" position.

3. Power ON the StarMOBILE scan tool.

4. Connect the CH9410 StarMOBILE scan tool ethernet cable to the StarMOBILE and the dealer's network drop.

5. From the desktop, launch the "StarMOBILE Desktop Client" software.

6. Establish a connection with the StarMOBILE scan tool.

7. Select "ECU View".

8. Select "WCM Wireless Control".

9. Select "More Options".

10. Select "ECU Flash".

11. Select "Browse for New File".

12. Enter your ID and password.

13. Compare the highlighted software part number with the software part number displayed at the top of the screen.

> If the part numbers are the same, the module is up to date and reprogramming is not required. Continue to Step 20.

> If the software part numbers are different, continue with Step 14 to reprogram the module.

14. Highlight the required flash file and select "Download to Client".

15. Click the "Close" button and then the "Back" button.

16. Highlight the desired file.

17. Select "Update Controller," press the select button and follow the on-screen instructions.

18. Resynchronize each Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (also known as a FOBIK) using the following procedure:

a. Remove the "Start" button cover, insert the RKE transmitter into the ignition switch and start the engine.

b. Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 5 seconds.

c. Turn off the vehicle and remove the RKE transmitter from the vehicle.

d. Verify the function of the RKE transmitter to ensure proper operation.

e. Repeat Steps 18a through 18d for all additional RKE transmitters.

f. Install the "Start" button cover.

NOTE:
If the customer did not bring both RKE transmitters, be sure to explain the synchronization process to them so that he/she can synchronize their other RKE transmitter(s).

19. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) as follows:

NOTE:
Due to the WIN programming procedure, DTC(s) may be set in other modules (PCM, TCM, ABS, BCM, MIC, WCM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so equipped. Some DTC's may cause the MIL to illuminate.

a. From the "Standalone Home" screen highlight "All DTC's" and then press the select button.

b. Highlight "Clear All Stored" and then press the select button.

c. Follow the screen prompts on the StarMOBILE screen.

20. Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position and remove the StarMOBILE unit, StarMOBILE cable, and battery charger from the vehicle.
