Service Procedure [Continued]
B. Update the PCM Software Level:
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.
1. Install a battery charger and 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.
NOTE: The PCM must be at the latest software calibration level after
completing this recall.
8. From the “Topology” tab, select the “PCM” module icon.

instructions page. Select “OK” to continue.
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. Cycle the ignition to the “OFF” position for 30 seconds then back to the
“RUN” position before clearing any DTCs that may have been set in any
module during the flash process. Click “View DTCs”, select “Clear All
DTCs”, click “Continue” and then click “Close”.

WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The Catalytic Converter on your vehicle [1] may exceed NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission
level standards due to loss of Catalytic Converter efficiency due to the combination of precious
metal usage, washcoat technology and sulfur levels in the fuel.

HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT EMISSIONS ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace
the Catalytic Converter and update the software level on the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and checkout during your visit. Your time is important to us; please be aware that these steps may require
more time. The estimated repair time is two hours. 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.
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you
may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [2]
Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within
60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement,
you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you
for your attention to this important matter.
