Flash: 3.0L Powertrain Diagnostic And System Enhancements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with the latest available software. It also involves replacement of the Oxygen (O2) Sensor and cleaning or replacement of the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor 1/2 if necessary depending on Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that may have set. A small number of customers may experience an intermittent engine shudder or vibration which may not set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). In addition other customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination upon which the technician may find one or more of the following DTCs have been set: ? P20C2 - Reductant Heater 3 Control Circuit Performance. ? P204F - Reductant System Performance. ? P20E9 - Reductant Pressure Too High. ? P016A-00 - Excessive Time To Enter Closed Loop Air/Fuel Ratio Control. ? P2459-00 - Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency. ? P0133-00 - O2 Sensor 1/1 Slow Response. ?
