Is the AS flash the one that the 03/01/2009 and newer came with from the factory?

You mean the bootloader thing, then no. The AS is the latest flash that the 09 is up to. I have no idea if thats the same one as the 09 with the DOM after 03/04/09 has too. I have a DOM of 10/08 and had AQ , i think. I had them update it to the AS.

The bootloader is not a flash.

 

[mikeshauling]

Yes, i know but i thought he was asking if the AS flash was for the newer 09s. I was just saying that the early 09s were up to the AS flash and I figured any new truck would have that as well. I just dont know if the new bootloader ECM was on the same flash as the early ECMs ,,,, did that make sense any better ??

 

[firemansdiesel]

Yep... ... ... ... .....

Ok another flash ? I just got my Smarty this week and it wasnt working right. Bob and Marco said that there was a brand new Flash released and they are fixing their smarty to work with it. Anyone here know about the new flash ??

Whats the best way to see exactly what flash IS on my truck?

I have an OBD-II reader that attaches to a PC. The software there can read the "calibration" (I think that's what it's called) from the system. It reports back the full set of numbers, plus the last two letters that everybody uses as the flash. I got it from scantool.net; I don't know if the other readers will do this or not. It's a standard OBD-II command, so I guess others probably could do it.

Tsb 18-024-09

NUMBER: 18-024-09

GROUP: Vehicle Performance

DATE: August 6, 2009

Other system enhancements and improvements:

A. Stationary DeSoot is now available with this software. A separate Service Bulletin will address specific procedures for Stationary DeSoot.



B. Enhanced P2262 diagnostic strategy will no longer set this DTC for conditions where there are no adverse affects.



C. New Scan Tool enabled P2262 Fault Diagnosis test (Used Before Repair) with anew functional test of the turbocharger. As before, this test determines the correct repair direction when DTC P2262 is present. Refer to TSB 09-002-09 Rev A (or laterbulletin) for detail on using this test to diagnose and repair P2262 concerns.



D. New DTC P226B - Turbocharger Boost Pressure Too High - Mechanical - indicates

incorrect airflow and can be caused by the turbocharger, which should be cleaned if

it is the cause for this DTC. This DTC can also be caused by other air handling

system components. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics to properly diagnose and

resolve this concern.



E. New DTC added for P2563 - Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor

Performance. This DTC indicates diminished variable geometry turbocharger travel,

which is resolved by cleaning the turbocharger. Diagnosis and repair procedures for

the DTC have been published in DTC-Based Diagnostics in TechConnect.



DIAGNOSIS:

Using a Scan Tool with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in

TechCONNECT, verify all engine systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are

present other then the ones listed above record them on the repair order and repair as

necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin. If any of the above conditions/DTC's

are present, perform the Repair Procedure.



NOTE: This calibration addresses certain conditions for each of the faults listed, but

does not correct a mechanical failure.



NOTE: All other DTC's or symptoms MUST be addressed prior to returning the

vehicle to the customer.



PARTS REQUIRED:

Qty. Part No. Description

1 04275086AB Label, Authorized Modification









REPAIR PROCEDURE:



NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.

NOTE: Stationary DeSoot will not perform without a P1451 DTC. Updating the ECM

will automatically clear the P1451 DTC from the ECM's memory. If the soot

threshold is great enough where a Stationary DeSoot is required, it may be

necessary to drive the vehicle so that the P1451 DTC will reset.



1. Does this vehicle have a P2262 DTC either active or stored?

a. Yes >>> Refer to TSB 09-002-09 REV. A (or later bulletin) before proceeding with

this bulletin.



b. No >>> Proceed to Step #2.



2. If this vehicle is a 2007, verify Recall G30 has been properly performed. Bootloader

Software will be displayed on the Scan Tool as up-datable. If the recall has been

properly performed, updating Bootloader is NOT required, (even though the calibration

may be displayed as up-datable).



3. Reprogram the ECM with the latest software. Follow the detailed service procedures

available in DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT, Refer To Group 8 - Electrical > 8E -

Electronic Control Modules >MODULE, Engine Control, Diesel > Service Information >

Standard Procedure > PCM/ECM Programming - DIESEL. After PCM

reprogramming, the following must be performed:



a. Clear any DTC's that may have been set in other modules due to reprogramming.

The wiTECH application will automatically present all DTC's after the flash and

allow the tech to clear them.



4. Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Modification Label" and attach it

near the VECI label.

POLICY:

Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
