NOTE: Soot related codes noted above with an asterisk (*) may be the result of other
system(s) and must be validated as described on the Diesel Diagnostic
Worksheet, Section 4D. Vehicles that DO NOT pass the Validation Test
require further diagnosis to determine the cause of excess soot build up.

DIAGNOSIS:
Complete a Diesel Diagnostic Worksheet per instructions in Service Bulletin 18-045-11
Dated October 19, 2011 and U. S. Warranty Bulletin D-11-55 Dated October, 2011. All
DTC's need to be recorded on the WRO and DTC's other than the ones listed above may
require additional diagnosis and repair after completing this Bulletin.
Vehicles that exhibit ANY DTC('s) (Stored or Active), pertaining to Oxygen Sensors or
Oxygen Sensor related components must have this Repair Procedure completed BEFORE
any parts are replaced.
SPECIAL TOOLS / EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NPN

Soldering Iron

NPN

Splice bands (05073034AA / bag of 50 pieces) (Dealer
Inventory) (1 pkg will service more than 4 vehicles)
Dealer Allotment $2.15 per vehicle

NOTE: Prior to replacing any parts, (Oxygen Sensors, Oxygen Sensor Module,
Transmission Wiring Harness or PCM) perform the Repair Procedure below
and also perform an Oxygen Sensor Verification test drive also described
below.
NOTE: Vehicles experiencing P013X or P014X DTC’s must have the Aftertreatment
Validation Test (Section 4D of the Diesel Diagnostic Worksheet) performed to
ensure excess soot is not causing the DTC(s). IF excess soot is found during
Aftertreatment Validation Test, perform appropriate repairs to eliminate soot
accumulation. The repair procedure below should be performed regardless
of outcome or repairs performed for other issues.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
Both Oxygen Sensor connectors should be removed and new connectors with pigtails
installed. The pigtail splice points should be staggered to eliminate bulk in the harness.

Open hood.
Disconnect and isolate both negative battery cables.
Raise and support vehicle on a suitable hoist.
Disconnect the Front Oxygen Sensor Connector and remove the protective tape and
plastic convoluted tubing near the sensor connector.
5. Replace the front Oxygen Sensor Connector;

a. Cut and splice each wire, (one at a time) in a staggered manner to prevent excess
bulk accumulation in the harness.
b. Using Mopar splice band tool and heat shrink with glue, splice and seal each wire
individually. Refer to DealerCONNECT > TechCONNECT > 29 - Non-DTC
Diagnostics > Circuit Testing Procedures > Standard Procedure > WIRE SPLICING.
Tape wires together then install and tape the removed convolute adjacent to the
connector body.
Clean (with shop air) Oxygen Sensor connector and secure connector to the vehicle
harness.
Secure all wiring to proper anchors
Repeat Step #4 through Step #8 for the Rear Oxygen Sensor Connector.
Lower vehicle, reconnect batteries.
Perform Verification below.

Verification:
Verification will ensure Oxygen Sensors are properly “relearned” and functioning as
desired.
1. Ensure PCM software is current. If software is not current, please update software
using appropriate Service Bulletin.
2. Connect WiTECH to vehicle if not already connected.
3. Operate the vehicle until warm and then drive the vehicle at 50 MPH. Perform a zero
fueling event (deceleration condition for 10 seconds, with foot off of accelerator pedal).
Repeat 3-5 times.
4. Monitor Oxygen Sensor percent in WiTECH, Data Display; percent should not vary
more than 4.0% from each other during any of the drive events. Variance of greater
than 4% will result in MIL illumination.
5. Further diagnosis will be required if variance is exceeded. Refer to TechCONNECT for
DTC(s) set during verification.
POLICY:
