Condition

Some customers may comment on an intermittent engine stall while coming to a stop or when entering a turn during extreme high ambient temperatures. Typically, this occurs when the engine is under a heavy load (A/C on, brakes applied, etc.).

The engine will restart and no DTCs will be present.

Correction

A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram the ECM with the latest Engine Operation calibrations available. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to the SPS procedures in SI.

When using a Tech 2(R) or a multiple diagnostic interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software version.

During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15 volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550 Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.
