based TSB, diagnose, perform repairs, and erase DTCs before continuing.
l For conventional and hybrid vehicles ; if reprogramming the ECM, take the vehicle
for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following conditions:
l Hybrid only: Li-ion battery charging status: 50% or more
l Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100°C (158 - 212°F)
l Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
l Transmission: Warmed up

2. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
NOTE: l After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform
Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL),
Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase.
l The above conditions are required for the IAVL to complete.
CAUTION: Make sure the plus VI is securly connected. If the plus VI
connection is loose during reprogramming, the process will be
interrupted and the ECM/TCM may be damaged.

3. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery:
For Conventional Vehicles
l Set the battery charger at a low charge rate.
For Hybrid Vehicles
l Use the GR-8 - Battery and Electrical Diagnostic Station.
4. Turn off all external Bluetooth? devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
5. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF or "not ready".
l The engine must not start or run during the reprogramming procedure.
l For Hybrid vehicles, make sure the dash warning lights are ON and:
l The "READY" light is OFF (not illuminated).
OR
l The ready to drive indicator light is OFF (not illuminated).
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery
voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be
interrupted and the ECM/TCM may be damaged.
NOTE: The GR-8 (Battery and Electrical Diagnostic Station) set to "Power
Supply" mode is recommended.
CAUTION: Be sure the battery charger is connected securely to the
battery. Make sure the battery voltage stays between 12.0V
and 15.5V during reprogramming. If the battery voltage goes
out of this range during reprogramming, the ECM/TCM may
be damaged.
CAUTION: DO NOT use a standard battery charger for Hybrid vehicles. Make
sure to connect the GR-8 securely to the 12V battery. Make sure
the battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during
reprogramming. If the battery voltage goes out of this range
during reprogramming, the ECM/TCM may be damaged.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn off all external Bluetooth? devices. If Bluetooth?
signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI
during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and
the ECM/TCM may be damaged.
