Dakota 2WD V8-4.7L VIN J (2005)
GRS provides involved dealers with an updated VIN list of their incomplete vehicles. The owner's name, address and phone number are listed if known.
Completed vehicles are removed from GRS within several days of repair claim submission.
To use this system, click on the "Service" tab and then click on "Global Recall System." Your dealer's VIN list for each recall displayed can be sorted
by: those vehicles that were unsold at recall launch, those with a phone number, city, zip code, or VIN sequence.
Dealers should perform this repair on all unsold vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also use the VIN list to follow up with all owners to
schedule appointments for this repair.
VIN lists may contain confidential, restricted owner name and address information that was obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles of various
states. Use of this information is permitted for this notification only and is strictly prohibited from all other use.

Information
Use one of the two scan tools shown to perform this service procedure.
A. Reprogram the ORC Using WiTECH
NOTE:
The 2007 model year Occupant Restraint Controller module (ORC) is not "abort - recovery" supported. If the flash fails or is aborted the ORC must
be replaced. It is recommended that the WiPOD VCI devise be connected via USB cable to the Personal Computer (PC) to provide the most reliable
network connection.
1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.2 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.
NOTE:
Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger voltmeter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will
cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor
to lower the voltage.
2. Connect the wiPOD to the vehicle data link connector.
3. Place the ignition key in the "RUN" position.
4. Launch the wiTECH diagnostic application.
5. Select "ORC" from the vehicle view screen.
6. Select the "FLASH" tab.
7. Select the flash file from the list.
8. Select the "UPDATE ECU" button and follow the screen prompts.
NOTE:
On 2007 model year vehicles, if the flash was interrupted or failed the ORC module must be replaced. Continue to Section C. ORC Module
Replacement.
9. Clear all DTC's.
NOTE:
Due to the ORC programming procedure, DTC(s) may be set in other modules (PCM, TCM, ABS, BCM, MIC, WCM, etc.) within the vehicle, if so
equipped. Some DTC's may cause the MIL to illuminate.
10. Place the ignition in the "OFF" position, remove the wiPOD from the data link connector and disconnect the battery charger.
B.Reprogram the ORC Using StarMOBILE
CAUTION:
The StarMOBILE operating software must be at release 10.02 or higher to perform this service procedure.
