DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). This occurs after driving the vehicle a short
distance without engine reaching normal operating temperature. Examples: starting a vehicle and moving it to
wash it, engine stall due to mis-application of clutch then restart.
A cranks, no start condition may be caused either by flooded spark plugs or lower than normal compression due
to fuel flooding.
NOTE: Before attempting to recalibrate the PCM, make sure to check the VIN & production date of the vehicle.
Vehicles produced on or after 3/12/04 and VIN is JM1FE17**40135537 or later do not require an
updated calibration.
Because some early calibrations do not have the improvements to cold start performance, it is important to
update the vehicle’s PCM to prevent possible no start concerns. All vehicles that do not have the updated calibration
for no start concerns need to be updated. This includes vehicles coming to the dealer for repairs unrelated
to the no start concern, or normal scheduled maintenance.
NOTE: See STEP 9 of REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” - DECHOKE / ENGINE STARTING for calibration information.
NOTE: After repairs, provide customers with DE-CHOKING PROCEDURE WHEN ENGINE CRANKS BUT
DOES NOT START information on page 13 (for customers to try after a “CRANKS, NO START” condition,
before towing to dealership).
