All involved vehicle owners known to FCA are being notified of the service requirement by first class mail. They are requested to schedule appointments for this service with their dealers. A generic copy of the owner letter is attached.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this Safety Recall. The wiTECH software is required to be at the latest release level before performing this procedure.
NOTE: For ALL model year vehicles, the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) and Auxiliary Hybrid Control Processor (AHCP), Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and Transmission Control Module (TCM) must be updated to the latest available software calibration level at the completion of this recall.
NOTE: If this software update flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.
NOTE: It is normal for the high voltage charging lamp on the dash to flash like there is a charging system failure while performing software updates.
- Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.
- Connect the wiTECH MDP to the vehicle data link connector
- Place the ignition in the “RUN” position.
- Open the wiTECH 2.0 website.
