SUBJECT:
FLASH: Clicking Sound From Rear of Vehicle After Accelerating From A Stop
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software.
MODELS:
2005 - 2006 (LX) 300/Magnum
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to 2006 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine (sales code EGG) and a 42RLE transmission (sales code DG6) built on or before
July 29, 2005 (MDH 0729XX) and 2005 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L or 3.5L engine (sales code EER or EGG) and a 42RLE transmission (sales
code DG6).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The new PCM software corrects a customer complaint of a click sound, coming from the rear of the vehicle, immediately after accelerating the vehicle
from a stop. This sound may be verified by driving the vehicle and allowing the transmission to shift into 4th gear then allowing the vehicle to coastdown
to a stop, without tipping into the accelerator pedal before the complete stop. The sound will be heard immediately after launching the vehicle and will
seem to be coming from the rear of the vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (StarSCAN) with TechCONNECT and the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures, verify all engine and transmission systems are
functioning as designed. If DTCs are present, record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this service bulletin.
If the vehicle operator experiences the Symptom/Condition perform the Repair Procedure.

There are two methods to download flash files to StarSCAN. The first method (preferred) is to download the flash files to the StarSCAN from the
