1. The wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application is the preferred method for flashing any Chrysler vehicle ECU. For more information, training tutorials
are available under the "HELP" tab in the wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application, under the 'Training Aids' link.
2. To use the StarMOBILE(R) in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE(R) is connected to the dealerships network via a wired or
wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode see the StarMOBILE(R) training tutorials
available on 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids' link, under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted.
4. Due to the PCM/ECM / TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs may cause the MIL to
illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown
on the list.
5. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 Volts during the flash process.
6. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) diagnostic tools fully support Internet connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network.
For help on setting up your StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) for the dealership's network, refer to the StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start
Networking Guide available on 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation', under the
download center.
7. The operating software in the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) must be programmed with the latest software release level. The software level is
visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Desktop Client screens. For instructions on how to update your scan
tool, refer to the StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Software Update guide available on 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R) and
StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation', under the download center.
PARTS REQUIRED
Pinion Factor Setting
PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of
equipment (final drive and tires) available. Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel.
2. Select the Transmission menu.
3. Select the Miscellaneous menu.
4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the instructions on the scan tool screen.
SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module (ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle.
2. Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back into the new WCM.
4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure Values into the WCM/SKREEM.
6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
