Campaign Description
Certain Palisade (LX2) vehicles equipped with 3.8L GDI Lambda II engines may not meet engine-out NOx
(Nitrogen Oxides) and Particulate Matter (PM) emission standards. The service procedure provides an update to
the emission logic within the Engine Control Module (ECM) to improve engine-out NOx and PM emissions, so
they are within permissible specifications. Additionally, improvements to reduce noise during engine start, and
enhanced thermostat logic, are also included in the updated ECM software.
The California Air Resources Board has determined that these vehicles may be releasing air pollutants which
exceed Federal and California standards.
