Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using one of the following procedures:

1. Verify customer concern.








2. Check vehicle VIN range as shown.

4. Program the PCM using WDS (Version B22 or later), verify the correct calibration from the table shown.

SPECIAL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

02 Protege & Protege5

Due to current WDS B24.* software issues, to reprogram 2002 model year vehicles to the required calibration, you will need to select 2001 MY in the WDS "Select Vehicle Specification" screen.

NOTE:
If a 2002 vehicle was reprogrammed with the 2002 MY selected in the "Vehicle Specification" screen, it will not have the correct calibration and will need to be reprogrammed again using the special programming instructions noted above.

03 Protege & Protege5

For 2003 Protege & Protege5 with VIN RANGE: JM1BJ2***3*l0000l to JM1BJ2***3*143365, proceed to 2003 Protege & Protege5 Reprogramming Instructions shown.

5. Install revised PCM calibration sticker (9999-95-AMDC 97 available through MStore) in appropriate position (next to vehicle emissions label) with the calibration P/N provided in the table above.

6. Verify repair.





PART(S) INFORMATION





WARRANTY INFORMATION

NOTE:
This information applies to verified customer complaints on vehicles covered under normal warranty. Refer to the SRT microfiche for warranty term information.

2003 Protege & Protege5 Reprogramming Instructions

VIN RANGE: JM1BJ2***3*100001 to JM1BJ2***3*143365

NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during PCM reprogramming when the WDS screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the PCM terminals and cause the PCM to be blanked or you may receive error messages during the WDS reprogramming procedure.

^ WDS shows the calibration part number after programming the PCM.

^ Please be aware that PCM calibration part numbers and file names listed in any Service Bulletin may change due to future releases of WDS software and additional revisions made to those calibrations for service related concerns. When reprogramming a PCM, WDS 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, if the WDS PTU is not docked and connected to 115V-120V, 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 will damage the WDS PTU.

1. Confirm that the vehicle is within the VIN range as noted above.

NOTE:
DO NOT Perform this procedure on vehicles out of this range.
