Service Procedure
C. Reprogram the ECM and TCM with the Latest Software
NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this recall. If the
reprogramming flash for the PCM or TCM is aborted or interrupted, repeat
the procedure.
CAUTION: Both the PCM and TCM software must be at the latest software
calibration level after completing this recall. Failure to do so may result in
undesirable transmission shift quality.
First the PCM must be
reprogrammed; second the TCM must be programmed.
NOTE: (PF) only, TCM software is not coordinated to PCM software, so
TCM software flash is not applicable to (PF) vehicles for this campaign.
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 MicroPod 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.

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”.
NOTE: (PF) only, TCM software is not coordinated to PCM software, so
TCM software flash is not applicable to (PF) vehicles for this campaign. For
(PF) vehicles skip to Step 25.
15. From the “Action Items” screen, select the “Topology” tab.
16. From the “Topology” tab, select the “TCM” module icon.

Page 30

Service Procedure [Continued]
a. Select the “Quick Learn” procedure then follow the on-screen instructions to
reset and learn the clutch adaptive values.
NOTE: If the “Quick Learn” option does not appear on wiTECH and both
the TCM and PCM were just updated, restart the wiTECH application
which should now be populated with the “Quick Learn” option.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the start/stop feature (sales code
XBU) it must be disabled prior to performing the quick learn procedure. To
disable, press the on/off switch located on the center switch bank near the
HVAC controls.

HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT EMISSIONS ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will
reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM)
with the latest software. In addition, your dealer will install a new catalyst. The estimated repair
time is 2 hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in,
preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is
important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your
inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The State of California requires the completion of emission recall repairs prior to vehicle
registration renewal. Your dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of
Correction Form after the Emission Recall service is performed. Be sure to save this form since
the California Department of Motor Vehicles may require that you supply it as proof that the
Emission Recall has been performed.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emissions warranty provisions, it is
recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could
be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle.

Get access to recall notifications, locate
your nearest dealer, and more through
this website or Mopar Owner’s
Companion App. You will be asked to
provide your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) to protect and verify
your identity. The last eight characters
of your VIN are provided above.
