Service Procedure
A. Reprogram the ECM with the Latest Available Software
NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this recall. If the
reprogramming flash for the PCM is aborted or interrupted, repeat the
procedure.
CAUTION: the PCM software must be at the latest software calibration
level after completing this recall.
1. Open the hood and install a battery charger. Verify that the charging rate
provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the
flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous
charge.
NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt
meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified
range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply
an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC
blower motor to lower the voltage.
2. Connect the wiTECH micro pod II to the vehicle data link connector.
3. Place the ignition in the “RUN” position.
4. Open the wiTECH 2.0 website.
5. Enter your “User id” and “Password” and your “Dealer Code”, then select
“Sign In” at the bottom of the screen. Click “Accept”.
6. From the “Vehicle Selection” screen, select the vehicle to be updated.
7. From the “Action Items” screen, select the “Topology” tab.

Service Procedure [Continued]
8. From the “Topology” tab, select the “PCM” module icon.
9. From the “Flash” tab, compare the “Current Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Part Number” with the “New ECU Part Number” listed.
 If the “Current ECU part Number” is the same as the “New Part
Number”, proceed to Step 15.
 If the “Current ECU part Number” is NOT the same as the “New Part
Number”, continue with Step 10.
10. From the PCM tab, select the PCM flash part number. Read the flash special
instructions page. Select “OK” to continue.
NOTE: 2015 model year vehicles only will receive updated software for the
TCM while flashing the PCM as a combined flash. It will not be necessary
to flash the TCM separately, follow the screen instructions to complete the
flash.
11. From the flash ECU agreement page, agree to terms by checking the box.
12. Select “Flash ECU” and then follow the wiTECH screen instructions to
complete the flash.
13. Confirm the software is at the latest available calibration level.
14. Click “View DTCs”, select “Clear All DTCs”, click “Continue” and then
click “Close”.
15. Place the ignition in the “OFF” position and then remove the wiTECH micro
pod II device from the vehicle.
16. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle.
17. Proceed to Section B. Replace Catalytic Converters.

Service Procedure [Continued]
B. Replace Catalytic Converters
1. Make sure ignition switch is in “OFF” position and all accessories are turned
OFF.
2. Remove the rear compartment floor, trim panel to gain access to the battery.

3. Loosen the M6 captive nut (1)
securing the battery negative
cable clamp to the battery
negative post (Figure 1).
NOTE: Do not remove the
M6 captive nut, doing so will
cause the M6 stud on IBS
pole clamp to break.

4. Disconnect the Intelligent
Battery Sensor (IBS) electrical
connector (1) (Figure 2).

6. Remove the battery negative
cable eyelet (2) from the IBS
M8 stud (Figure 4).

Service Procedure [Continued]
8. Saturate all exhaust bolts and nuts with Mopar® Rust Penetrant. Allow five
minutes for penetration.
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Therefore, never attempt to service any part of the exhaust
system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken when working near
the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high
level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION:
When
disconnecting the oxygen
sensor electrical connector,
do not pull directly on the
wire going into the sensor.
The sensor wiring can be
damaged resulting in sensor
failure.
9. Disconnect the oxygen sensor
wire harness connector (1) and
remove the harness from the
retainer (2) (Figure 5).

Figure 5 – Oxygen Sensors

10. Remove the oxygen sensor (3)
from the exhaust manifold
(Figure 5).

11. Disconnect the oxygen sensor
wire harness connector (2) and
remove the harness from the
retainer (Figure 6).

Service Procedure [Continued]
12. Remove the catalytic converter
to manifold flange nuts (2) and
separate
the
catalytic
converters (1) from the
exhaust manifolds (Figure 7).

Figure 7 – Flange Nuts

13. Loosen the front exhaust pipe
to muffler and resonator
assembly band clamps (1)
(Figure 8).

Figure 8 – Band Clamps

Service Procedure [Continued]
14. Separate the muffler and
resonator assembly from the
catalytic converters.
15. Remove the left (1) and/or
right (2) catalytic converters
(Figure 9).
16. Position the left (1) and/or
right (2) catalytic converter
onto the exhaust manifold
flange, and install the flange
nuts finger tight (Figure 9).
Figure 9 – Catalytic Converters
17. Insert the
muffler
and
resonator assembly onto the
front exhaust pipe, without
tightening the band clamps (1) at this time (Figure 8).

18. Tighten the catalytic converter (1) to exhaust manifold flange nuts (2) to
30 N·m (22 ft. lbs.) (Figure 7).
NOTE: Inspect to ensure that the exhaust is fully inserted before tightening
the clamp. Not fully inserting the exhaust will affect the exhaust tip
alignment at the rear fascia.
19. Tighten the band clamps to 50 N·m (37 ft. lbs.) (Figure 8).
NOTE: The threads of the new oxygen sensors are factory coated with
anti-seize compound to aid in removal. Do not add any additional anti-seize
compound to threads of a new oxygen sensor.
20. Install the oxygen sensor (3) into the exhaust manifold and tighten to 52 N·m
(38 ft. lbs.) (Figure 5).
21. Connect the oxygen sensor wire harness connector (1) and secure the wire
harness in the retainer (2) (Figure 5).
