Technical Bulletin (Update Programming of ECM for Concerns of a Bump Sensation after Coming to a Stop): Current ECM programming may cause a bump after coming to a stop, which may be felt through the chassis of the vehicle. This concern is caused by the engine torque being slightly high when the transmission goes into Neutral Control. Neutral Control is designed to reduce load on the engine during idle, in order to decrease emissions. The production solution to this issue was improved software for smoother stopping.

Technical Bulletin (Sunroof / Sunshade, Will Not Open): The sunroof's "Basic Setting" has been unintentionally initiated by the customer. When the sunroof is closed and the rotary switch is pressed down in the closed direction for longer than 10 seconds, the basic setting program of the sunroof motor is initiated, and previous sunroof travel limits are lost. If the basic setting is not fully restored (by continuing to hold the rotary switch in the down position until the sunroof has completed its full open/closed travel), fault codes (panoramic sunroof only) will set and the sunroof can no longer be opened. This document discusses the "Fault Codes" necessary to diagnosis, and potential remedy of the issue. The fault codes for checking warranty coverage for servicing the vehicle are also available.

Be aware that fuel lines are color coded on vehicles with return fuel pressure lines. The black line is for fuel pressure supply and the blue line is for fuel pressure return. To verify correct line installation, remove the metal cover exposing the fuel pump flange assembly (generally under the rear seat). Refer to the ELSA Repair Manual for specific location. Check for raised arrows on the flange housing. The black line (Fuel Pressure Supply) attaches to the connection with the arrow pointing away from it. The blue line (fuel return) attaches to the connection with arrow pointing to it.

When diagnosing a generator charging concern, it is recommended to verify operation of the one way clutch located in the generator pulley (if equipped) before replacing generator assembly. To check the one way clutch, remove the belt from the generator pulley and use a trim removal tool to hold fan blades inside generator, as shown below. When attempting to turn pulley by hand with fan blades held, pulley should spin freely in only one direction. If pulley spins freely in both directions, the one way clutch has failed and should be replaced before continuing diagnosis.
