Repair/Claim Coding
Causal Part:
RECALEM
Condition Code: 04
Service Procedure
1. Perform a "Self-Test", running PCM CMDTC only and pulling Snapshot/Freeze Frame data using the latest
software level of the FDRS. Check Snapshot data for the ECT PID when P0300:00 triggered. Is the ECT PID
between 60-75 degrees C (140-167 degrees F) when DTC P0300:00 triggered?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 2.
(2). No - refer to WSM, Section 303-07 Engine Ignition for normal diagnostics outside of this article. Repair is
complete.
2. Connect a battery charger such as Rotunda GRX-3590 or DCA-8000 to the 12-volt battery. If the 12-volt battery is
discharged, charge the battery. Refer to WSM, Section 414-01, Diagnosis and Testing.
NOTE: To prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle, make sure the negative cable of the
charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12-volt battery negative terminal. Do not have
the vehicle plugged into the high voltage battery charger during programming. This can cause incorrect
module programming. Make sure only the 12-volt battery charger is installed.
3. Reprogram the PCM using the FDRS scan tool.
NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which
allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and improve shift quality. When
the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may
result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.
4. Refer to the WSM for normal diagnostics of all DTCs documented in Step 1, not including P0300:00 and/or
P0316:00. Repair as necessary outside of this article.
