• **Improved troubleshooting and repair accuracy for air handling components through APT test available in WiTECH.**
• Reduce the occurrence of false faults Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0300 and P0315.
• DTC P1451 re-tune to reduce false faults.
• Improvements to allow DTC P2509 faults to be cleared with wiTECH.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) software fix to prevent cruise control dropouts.
• Engine stumble fix for improved drivability.
• Engine stall detection allowing DTC P032F to clear after a power cycle.
• Allow multiple PROXI rewrites.
• Enable cold re-prime (DTC P208B improvement). This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the Engine Control Module (ECM/PCM) with the latest available software
