Some vehicles may experience a lack of power and the check engine light on with DTC P61B:00 stored in the PCM memory when driving in high temperatures at high elevations. DTC P061B:00 - [PCM] Internal control module torque calculation performance problem.This concern may be caused by improper PCM control logic. The engine torque calculation error may increase in high temperatures at high elevations. To eliminate this concern, the PCM software has been modified.
MT-014-172017-08-10. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM); ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Whenever you are reprogramming a PCM or any other module, always use the GR8 Battery Charger in the Power Supply mode to prevent the battery from discharging.
SA-060-172017-08-10. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM); ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ENGINE.

If the PCM is reprogrammed with any software number included in the attached file and the throttle valve has too much carbon build up, the engine air amount calculation by the problem software may not be accurate. Perform the following Repair Procedure to correct this issue. NOTE Current version of IDS is 106.02.
05-002-15-3019F2017-06-08. Service bulletin. ENGINE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE WARNING LIGHT ON WITH ONE OR MORE OF THESE DTCS STORED IN THE TCM MEMORY (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738). • P0842:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 1 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH B) STUCK ON • P0847:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 2 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A) STUCK ON • P0872:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 3 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A) STUCK ON • P0877:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 4 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH B) STUCK ON • P0780:00 - GEAR SHIFTING MALFUNCTION • P1738:00 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE INTERNAL MALFUNCTION THIS IS CAUSED BY THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A AND/OR B AT THE CONTROL VALVE BODY TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY GETTING STUCK DUE TO CONTAMINATION ENTERING THE PASSAGE. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SOME MASS PRODUCTION CHANGES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION AND IMPROVE THE DTC DIAGNOSTIC LOGIC. NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A DELAYED ENGAGEMENT CONCERN, THIS TSB IS NOT APPLICABLE. REFER TO MS3 ONLINE INSTRUCTIONS OR WORKSHOP MANUAL FOR PROPER DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR PROCEDURE.
05-007-15-31152017-06-08. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN “P” POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF NORMALLY, THE IGNITION MAY STAY ON (IN ACCESSORY MODE). THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY A WORN SWITCH UNIT. TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN, THE SWITCH UNIT MATERIAL HAS BEEN CHANGED TO IMPROVE WEAR RESISTANCE. MODIFIED SWITCH UNITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS NEW SERVICE PARTS.
05-001-15-31042017-06-08. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL). SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS: • SOMETIMES THE SHIFTER MAY JUMP OUT OF 3RD GEAR OVER A ROAD BUMP WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER DECELERATION AT 25-40 MPH (40-65 KM/H) • HARD TO SHIFT INTO 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, AND/OR 6TH GEAR • SHIFT LEVER VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR THIS IS CAUSED BY INAPPROPRIATE TRANSMISSION INTERNAL PARTS.

SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN OF A WHINING NOISE FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE WHEN DRIVING AT 10 MPH AND ABOVE. THE NOISE: • DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE’S SPEED ONLY (THE MORE SPEED, THE MORE NOISE) • OCCURS WITH ALL TYPES OF DRIVING (ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, STEADY SPEED) • DOES NOT DEPEND ON RPM, GEAR, OR ATF TEMPERATURE. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DAMAGED BEARING IN THE TRANSAXLE DUE TO IMPROPER CONFIGURATION OF THE TRANSAXLE CASE. A MODIFICATION HAS NOW BEEN IMPLEMENTED ON AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLES WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER 3TR1111680 AND HIGHER OR 3TD1104906 AND HIGHER. THE SERIAL NUMBER CAN BE FOUND ON TOP OF THE TRANSAXLE CASE NEAR THE MANUAL SHAFT LEVER.
