(248) 260-0583 or Tim Kraft at cell (248) 766-5826 ~ IMPORTANT - do not reset the HFM, clear codes or perform a battery reset before calling. Engineering is currently root causing this issue and your assistance is greatly appreciated. Seeking vehicles with HFM in a locked state, inoperative, or offline. If unable to reach this person within 15 minutes, then proceed with the necessary repair.

PRNDM occur, it may appear that the PRNDM will not light up the first time the shifter is woken up via CAN. Please wait 2 minutes 15 seconds for the PRNDM lights to come back on. This is due to a software update feature of the Shifter lower (04670682A$). During PRNDM software update, the shifter will not be functional. NOTE 2: If Shifter is awake on CAN while disconnecting PRNDM from Shifter (04670682A$), U114C-00 will activate. This is by design and does not require replacement of PRNDM. NOTE 3: PRNDM supply Voltage from Shifter will be deactivated after 3 seconds if PRNDM is disconnected from Shifter while Shifter is awake via CAN and U114C-00 will activate. Power to Shifter will have to be removed for approx.. 20 seconds after PRNDM is connected to reset power to PRNDM from the Shifter. Power can be reset by removing battery power or disconnecting the shifter main connector. This is due to a safety feature built into the Shifter that will cut power to the PRNDM if a communication error is observed between the Shifter and PRNDM. NOTE 4: If Shifter is not responsive after Dead Battery condition, Charge Battery, and once complete disconnect battery terminals for 30 seconds and reconnect. Check Shifter functionality. Please return parts back to FCA Engineering if PRNDM is deemed non-functional after performing this TECHtip. ~

All Promaster (VF) 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the transmission bracket to the transmission case fasteners are removed during servicing, the fasteners (Part Number 06511385A$) are one-time usage. Vehicles built prior to 10/23/2015 requires Service Kit PN 68461214AA; includes Transmission Isolator PN 68264483AA, and Adaptation Bracket 68264479AA and Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA Vehicles built after on or after 10/23/2015 will require only the Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA. 2. All 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate or failed pump bushing inspect and confirm that both (2) dowel pins are present in the engine block, which align the transmission center line to the crank shaft centerline and visually inspect the dowel alignment holes in the transmission case. If the holes are damaged or elongated the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate or pump bushing due to the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair. 3. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If pump bushing is scored or damaged and the dowel pin alignment holes are ok, replace the pump assembly as opposed to complete transmission. 4. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If vehicle is jerking/slipping with MIL code(s) P0740 or P2764, check TCC Solenoid operation. If TCC Solenoid is ok, the codes are indicative of a torque converter failure. Replace the torque converter.

A low frequency moan is heard during the first brake apply when in reverse while the vehicle is cold or has been parked for several hours. An audio sound file of the moan can be found in DealerCONNECT> TechCONNECT under: Service Info> 05 - Brakes> 05 - Brakes, Base> Diagnosis and Testing. If the low frequency moan can be verified, the addition of the anti-vibration bracket may correct the condition.

Front of Vehicle or DTC C1266 ACC Sensor Blinded, please verify that there is no blockage in front of the sensor. Blockage can occur from mud, ice, snow, front end damage, bracket damage, the sensor not attached to the bracket properly or an aftermarket fascia installed. This fault can occur intermittently in muddy or icy/snowy conditions and is considered normal operation. Under some circumstances, a misaligned sensor can also cause the C1266 DTC, please complete an alignment procedure. No replacement is required.~ 2) If you are replacing this part due to the cluster displaying ?ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required?, please check the DTC fault codes. This will indicate which module needs to be serviced (TCM, PCM, ESP/ABS, etc). This fault is not due to the ACC Sensor. No sensor replacement is required.~ 3) If you have fault code DTC C125E ACC Sensor Adjustment Required, please verify that the radar sensor is fully seated in the clips and there is no damage (if clips are damaged on a 2013 or earlier vehicle, order P/N 68085813A$, otherwise please replace the module), please verify there is no blockage to the sensor due to mud, ice, snow, front end damage, bracket damage or the sensor not attached to the bracket properly. Perform the Vertical Alignment and the Electronic Horizontal Alignments procedure as stated in the service manual. Please note, if the horizontal alignment procedure will not complete, check the vertical alignment and confirm that the sensor is seated properly. Rerun the horizontal alignment procedure. No sensor replacement is required. **Hints for running Horizontal Alignment procedure: A) Verify speed is between 45 and 75 mph, B) verify the road is relatively straight with signs, poles, guard rails, etc C) Do not tail a vehicle too closely this inhibits the learning procedure
