The technician may find the following Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) set in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory: ? U0140 - Lost Communication With Body Control Module. (3.6L engine only). NOTE: Attempting to clear this DTC will be unsuccessful. Some customers may experience any of the following: ? Continuous cycling of fuel pump relay when using remote start (3.6L engines) ? Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the Technician may find that P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit High has been set active or stored (3.6L engine) NOTE: MIL Illumination for P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit High affects only 2012 model year vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine (sales code ERB). ? 1 - 2 upshift clunk or bump (2.4L & 3.6L engines) ? 3 - 4 harsh upshift at closed throttle after a WOT stab in 1st or 2nd gear (2.4L & 3.6L engines) ? 4 - 5 upshift clunk or bump (2.4L & 3.6L engines) ? 5 - 6 upshift clunk or bump (3.6L engine) ? 6 - 5 downshift clunk or bump (3.6L engine) ? 6 - 4 downshift clunk or bump (3.6L engine) ?
