MODEL: All models
SUBJECT:
REPROGRAMMING WITH THE MUT-III
PURPOSE
This bulletin contains general instructions for reprogramming a vehicle PCM using the MUT-Ill vehicle communication interface (VCI) unit. Before beginning reprogramming, you must first transfer the reprogramming data to a PC memory card adapter equipped with a compact flash memory chip. New data is transferred from a DVD to the PC hard drive, then to the PC memory card. After data is in the memory card, it can be downloaded to the VCI, then to the vehicle's PCM (ECU).
The MUT-III is capable of both automatic reprogramming (it automatically selects the appropriate database) and manual reprogramming (you select the database). Automatic reprogramming is recommended for most typical reprogramming situations. If automatic reprogramming is not successful, try manual reprogramming.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
All models capable of PCM reprogramming, except 1995-99 Eclipse 2.0L non-turbo (For 1995-99 Eclipse 2.0L non-turbo models, use M1T992000-A and refer to the applicable TSB.)
