# Service bulletin 18\-019\-15 REV C A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned. - Type: Service bulletin - NHTSA id: 10160014 - Published by NHTSA: 2019\-05\-20 - Manufacturer's number: 18\-019\-15 REV C - Manufacturer's date: 2015\-12\-02 - NHTSA component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL; SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; STRUCTURE ## NHTSA's summary Flash: 3.0L Powertrain Diagnostic And System Enhancements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module \(PCM\) with the latest available software. A small number of customers may experience bucking under hard acceleration. In addition other customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp \(MIL\) illumination. Upon further investigation a technician may find one of more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes \(DTCs\) set in the PCM memory: ? P1296\-00 \- EGR Slow Response \- Increasing Flow. ? P249C\-00 \- Excessive Time To Enter Closed Loop Reductant Injection Timing Control. ? P20C2\-00 \- Reductant Heater 3 Control Circuit Performance. ? P24A4\-00 \- Particulate Filter Restriction \- Soot Accumulation Too High. ? P24D1\-00 \- Particulate Matter Sensor Regeneration Incomplete. ? P1288\-00 \- NOX Sensor 1/2 Zero Offset Too High. ? P1289\-00 \- NOx Sensor 1/2 Zero Offset Too Low. ? P2463\-00 \- Diesel Particulate Filter \- Soot Accumlation . ? U0422\-00 \- Implausible Data Received From Body Control Module. ?
