| 1807022 | 2022-12-19. Service bulletin. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates RAM 1500 PickupThis bulletin applies to vehicles within the following markets/countries: North America, APAC, EMEA and LATAM. This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 3.6L V6 24V VVT Etorque Engine Upgrade I (Sales Code ERG). Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find one or more ofthe following DTCs have been set: P0607 - ECU Internal Performance. P04FC - Crankcase ventilation system performance. U1817 - Lost Communication With Hybrid Powertrain Control Module On D-PT. U0074 - Dedicated Powertrain D-PT Can Bus Off. P0456 - EVAP System Small Leak.If DTC P0456 is present use the wiTECH Small Leak Verification Test (SLVT) to determine ifa leak is present in the system. P06EF - Engine Restart Performance. P0175 - Fuel System 2/1 Rich. P258B - Electronic Vacuum Pump Performance. P0128 - Thermostat Rationality. C0062 - Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor. In addition, customers may experience one or more of the following concerns: A 2-3 kmh (1-2 mph) difference between cruise set speed and the actualvehicle speed (APAC, EMEA and LATAM Only). An inability to tap up cruise control in kph/mph increments. A rough idle during engine warm-up condition. A hesitation during aggressive accelerations after an Electronic Stop/Start(ESS) event and the engine is not fully at warm operational temperature. Engine RPM erratic and or bucking, when accelerating after slowing down. Occasional engine shut off while shifting from 4WD low to 2WD. Improvements to the vacuum pump cycle time. Rough idle after cold start. |
