18-040-17 REV. A2022-09-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM). Flash: 6.4L Powertrain Diagnostic and System Enhancements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with the latest available software. This bulletin fixes all vehicles listed and also contains an optional software path for situations where the customer is specifically complaining of a drone noise, shudder, pulsation, or vibration under light throttle applications, while vehicle is operating in Multi Displacement System/Economics (MDS/ECO)mode (optional software available for D2&DJ vehicles).There will be two separate software options displayed on the wiTECH flash tab. The software file released for this condition contains the verbiage ?MDS NOISE?. The other file is the standard software that does not contain improvements for the drone/shudder concern. If for some reason the customer finds this shudderimprovement objectionable, the PCM software may be returned/reflashed to the standard version.Both software versions will address the remaining conditions noted in the bulletin.A small number of customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find that the following DTCs have been set:P1404 - EGR Close Position Performance. P0404 - EGR Position Sensor Performance. P0405 - EGR Position Sensor Circuit Low. P0406 - EGR Position Sensor Circuit High. P2172 ? High Airflow/Vacuum leak detected. P0870 - OD Hydraulic Pressure Test (66RFE Only). This software update also includes the following enhancements:Reduced downhill gear hunting when using cruise control. Reduced drone noise at minimum converter clutch operating speed. Reduced low speed drone noise. Improved Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve control at maximum desired lift. This will help reduce, long crank/start time. Improvements to engine idle quality such as rough idle after high altitude start and stability of engine RPM at idle.

90030592022-08-08. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Park Assist Sensor 1) Active or Stored DTC of Signal Shape / Waveform Failure fault: B128E-25, B128F-25, B1290-25, B1291-25, B1292-25, B1293-25, B1295-25, B1296-25, B1297-25, and/or B1298-25, check for snow/mud/ice/obstruction and clean the Sensors, both front and back (behind bumper) of sensor. The snow/mud/ice can be behind the bumper, sensor retainer and/or the sensor which may cause customers to think they have an issue since they cleaned the front of the sensor/bumper, but not behind where dirt/mud/ice snow can accumulate. Once the Bumper and Sensors are completely cleaned and clear of snow, mud, ice, and/or obstruction, the sensors must activate in order for the faults to go STORED. After cleaning the Bumper and Sensors, turn off the engine, wait 10 seconds, turn on the engine and then place the vehicle in REVERSE so that the sensors activate. The faults will go STORED. 2) Active or Stored DTC code of Short to Ground fault: B128E-11, B128F-11, B1290-11, B1291-11, B1292-11, B1293-11, B1294-11, B1295-11, B1296-11, and/or B1298-11, or if you have an active or stored DTC code of Performance or Incorrect Operation fault: B128E-92, B128F-92, B1290-92, B1291-92, B1293-92, B1294-92, B1295-92, B1296-92, B1297-92, and/or B1298-92, then check the wiring behind the sensor. Specifically, ensure that the connector behind the park assist sensor is fully mounted. Ensure also, there is no dirt, corrosion, or damage in this connector behind the park assist sensor as this will also cause a Short to Ground fault. With potential wiring issues addressed, the sensors must activate in order for the faults to go STORED. After all sensors are properly connected (you will likely hear a click once the connector is fully seated on the sensor), turn off the engine, wait 10 seconds, turn on the engine and then place the vehicle in REVERSE so that the sensors activate. The faults will go STORED.
90036962022-08-08. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS. Door Hinge Assembly Side door hinge noisy. Only replace the door hinge with the integral check device. Do not replace the simple hinge if it is not damaged it is not the source of the noise. Replacing it unnecessary and is an over-repair.

90029772022-08-08. Service bulletin. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH. Door latch Before replacing this part please contact Kevin Murphree at Cell (248) 613-3417 or Samantha Kallman (248)-576-1532. If you are unable to get a response within 15 minutes, please continue with the repair.
90032162022-08-08. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR; VISIBILITY. Power Fold Rearview Mirror Prior to replacing this part for a loose mirror, please first follow this procedure to reset the pivot mechanism. Move the mirror to its full foward position and then to full retract position using the power fold mirror button located on drivers side door panel. Perform this procedure three times. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then repair as necessary.~ Note: 1- The looseness of power fold mirror does not necessary indicate a defective mirror, it may be caused by folding it manually rather than using the power fold feature. If the mirror is adjusted manually out of the proper detent, always use the button to adjust it back into sync.~ 2- The intended use of the power fold mirrors is by pushing the button to fold and unfold the mirror. Only manually fold the mirrors when absolutely necessary.~ 3- In the circumstance where the left hand mirror and right hand mirror are in different positions, it may take up to three cycles (bottom pushes) to re-sync the mirrors together.
