| 1813122 | 2023-01-17. Service bulletin. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates This bulletin involves reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software. Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find that one or more of the following DTCs have been set: P064F - Unauthorized Software/Calibration Detected. P229F - Aftertreatment NOx Sensor Circuit Performance - Bank 1 Sensor 2. P207F - Reductant Quality Performance. P249E - Closed Loop Scr Reductant Injection Control At Limit - Flow Too High. P2509 - PCM/PCM Power Input Signal Intermittent. P0128 - Thermostat Rationality. P2201 - Aftertreatment NOx Sensor Circuit Performance - Bank 1 Sensor 1. In addition, the following software enhancements are also available:Scan Tool Fan Actuation Test fix. Enabling DTC P208B - Reductant Pump 1 Control Performance. Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Out Of Range (OOR) low calibration. Idle based misfire retune. Abort timer for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Out NOx Sensor missing change to 70 seconds. Map SCR missing DTC/Fault (P1C54) to tampering inducement. Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor False Fault Improvement. CC inner loop used up faults. Ultrasonic Flow Meter (UFM) test results fix. Engine run state idle unstable software fix. Ability to write Engine Serial Number (ESN) through wiTECH. Add Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/Reagent type as a readable value in wiTECH. Fan actuation test. SCR missing tuning capability improvement. Smart tampering improvement. |

| 18-036-20 | 2020-05-26. Service bulletin. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates This bulletin involves reprogramming the 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 (optionalsoftware 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 shudder improvementobjectionable, the PCM software may be returned/reflashed to the standard version.Both software versions will address the remaining conditions noted in the bulletin.The customer may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):P3402 - Cylinder 1 Deactivation Control Performance. P3426 - Cylinder 4 Deactivation Control Performance. P3442 - Cylinder 6 Deactivation Control Performance. P3450 - Cylinder 7 Deactivation Control Performance. P0128 - Thermostat Rationality. Customers may also describe the following condition:Heater not warming cabin sufficiently and engine slow to warm up. This condition could be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat which is not associated with an HVAC issue. |
