PURPOSE
Some affected vehicles may experience any or all of the following DTCs after the vehicle has been operated in very cold weather (approximately -5o F (-20oC) or colder) after a short drive (5 – 10 minute) followed by a 15 – 20 minute cold soak.
| DTC | Relay | Description |
|---|---|---|
| P0657 | ETV | Throttle Actuator Motor Relay Circuit Malfunction |
| P1590 | A/T | TCM to ECM Communication Error in Torque Reduction Request (CVT) |
| U0101 | A/T | CVT ECU Timeout (CVT) |
| P0201 – P0206 | Injector | Injector Circuit, Cyl. 1 – 6 |
The customer may also complain of a no-start condition, however, dealers may find it difficult to recreate. The condition is caused by condensation freezing inside the relay, rendering it inoperative. Should you suspect very cold weather has caused either or both of theses conditions in an affected vehicle, follow the procedures below and replace four (4) relays with a modified type.
Affected Vehicles:
2007 – 2008 Outlander (2.4L 4 cyl & 3.0L V6) built prior to November 20, 2007.
2008 Lancer built prior to November 13, 2007.
