DRB III Release Notes 55.1

Release 55.1 / ISIS 2117

General

MY2003 Initial Support was on release ISIS 2111/55.0. This release ISIS 2117/55.1

continues to build on that support. Additional items of interest include:

BODY

2003 RS - Additional DTCs added for Power Liftgate

2002 2003 DR "Defrost", "Panel" and "Floor" actuators have been added for DR. These
actually send commands for Mode 1 and Mode 2 actuators together to direct air to the appropriate
duct. Other actuators on 2 mode systems only send one actuator at a time, and may or may not
actually send air out of the appropriate duct depending on the position of the other actuator.

PL MIC "Fuel Level Sensor" in Sensors corrected.

SKIM - Miscellaneous - PCM Replaced: The inability to write the VIN into the SKIM during the
SKIM Replaced routine has been rectified.

2003 WJ BCM Read DTCs - The following DTC have been added for WJ BCM: Rain Sensor
Messages Not Received, Evap Temp Sensor Open, Evap Sensor Shorted and Rain Sensor Fault

2003 ZB BCM - Miscellaneous - DRL Enable: DRL Enable has been added.

TRANS

2003 PT Turbo TCM - Miscellaneous - Pinion Factor: Pinion Factor added.

TCM - Miscellaneous - Pinion Factor: Added user message that if the PCM VIN is missing
that it must be programmed into the PCM prior to selecting pinion factor.

 ENGINE

2001-2002 Cummins - Fixed Freeze Frame data values reading wrong locations

1998-2002 Cummins - Fixed Transfer Pump Actuator Test not displayed.

NGC
2002 2003 - Added RPM System test that can be used on all applications, this test includes the
following features:
Set to Minimum RPM value
Set to Maximum RPM value
Run wiggle test
Increase / Decrease to any fixed RPM value in range
Release RPM control

2003 - Added 2.4 RS MDS2 support.

2002 - Added NVLD system test to LH and AN w/4.7L
2003 - Added APP Position percentage for 5.7 Hemi application
2003 - Added ETC data to Monitor screens for 5.7 Hemi application
2002 2003 - Cleaned up data in both engine and cruise control Freeze Frames for all
applications, this data would always return 0.

2002 2003 - Fixed Fuel Cutout reason for all applications

2002 2003 - Fixed MAP in SCW data scalar changed to show correct data on all applications

2002 2003 - Fixed cruise control data on 4 position switch applications (JR & PT)

Known Problems for this release ( ISIS 2117 / 55.1 )

2003 JR ABS - Actuators: The actuators are non-operational. Fix for this issue planned for CD
2120.

Overhead Console - Module Display: The part number is reading incorrect on all overhead
console modules. Fix for this issue planned for CD 2120.

2002 2003 4.7L NGC AN/DN TCM - System Tests - Duty Cycle and Pump Test: The
Duty Cycle and Pump Test are non- operational.

2003 DR with 5.7L engine ABS - Attempting to communicate to the Kelsey Hayes ABS units
(both the EBC-325 and EBC-125) on all 5.7L DRs will result in a No Response from the ABS
controller. This will be corrected in the next release of DRBIII software due on CD 2120.

 FLASH

2003 DR - Diesel ECM (CM845) flash reprogramming support has been added.

2003 PL EMIC flash reprogramming support has been added.

2002 AN - Fixes a problem with some vehicles during PCM flash. This problem actually

displayed two different error messages depending on certain conditions.

- The first was a "... 1622 FLPROG..." error message.

- The second was a "Did not see key ON ..." error message.

2003 DR - Automatic Diesel JTEC+ companion modules flash reprogramming support has been

added.

2002 KJ BCM - Added a full EEPROM reset after flash reprogramming.

2002 WG EVIC - flash reprogramming support has been added.

2002 DR FCM - flash reprogramming support has been added.

2003 JR - Added logic to handle the different communication configurations. While flashing

some 2003 JR vehicles, which employ hybrid wiring of the DLC, the flash process will fail to

bootstrap the EATX3B TCM controller. When this happens, the DRB III will indicate this failure

as a screen message and prompt the user to please wait (for approximately 2 - 4 seconds), after

which it will again attempt to bootstrap the EATX3B using the hybrid wiring configuration (of the

DLC) and the flash will proceed normally.

 LH/WJ EVIC - Reduced flash reprogramming time by over 50%.

The actual reprogramming time now takes less than (<) 10 minutes.

NOTE: The MDS2 may display a message stating that "There was an error communicating with

the DRB III. Please monitor the DRB III screen to see if operation completed successfully...".

Disregard this message because it does not affect the DRB III and its operation while

reprogramming the EVIC.

2002 LH BCM Police calibration - flash reprogramming support has been added.

2002 - 2003 DR 5.9L TD - Changes were made to properly ID the Cummins ECM.
