TIN NO. TIN-18-13-001

PURPOSE Some dealers have reported customer stated concerns of a lack of throttle response at initial start-up with CEL (Check Engine light) illumination when ambient temperatures are extremely cold. These vehicles have been repaired in various ways including replacement of the throttle body assembly or the TAC (Throttle Actuator Control) relay and finally, just allowing the vehicle to sit in the shop/garage for a period of time. MMNA is suggesting that dealers replace the TAC relay (8627A049) in order to address this concern. Replacing any other components is unnecessary. Please follow the guidelines below when addressing this type of concern.

1) Customer states vehicle lacks throttle response upon initial start-up and has the CEL illuminated.
2) Dealer confirms the presence of CEL illumination and retrieves DTC(s).
3) DTC(s) active/stored in ECM is P0657 (other DTCs may be present at the time of inspection)
4) Replace TAC relay with part number 8627A049
5) Perform “Read and Erase” function in the Scan Tool and return the vehicle to the customer.

No: TSB-18-13-003
SUBJECT:ENGINE DOES NOT RESTART AND/OR FAILSAFE MODE OCCURS DUE TO FROZEN RELAYS

PURPOSE In extremely cold conditions, the Check Engine light may illuminate and vehicle speed will not increase (failsafe mode), or the engine does not restart after driving a short distance and stopping the engine for a few minutes. This may be caused by relays in the fuse box not operating due to being frozen.
This TSB instructs dealers to confirm a list of specific DTCs are present along with the symptoms described above. Then once symptoms and DTCs are confirmed, dealers should replace the following relays with anti-freezing types: ETV, A/T (CVT), injector, and starter.

NOTE: If all DTCs are NOT present, the root causes for the symptoms may not be frozen relays.
