This bulletin applies to 2012 Dodge Durango models. Customers may indicate that the MIL is illuminated and/or the transmission went into limp-in mode. Upon further investigation, DTC P0730 (incorrect gear ratio) is either active or stored in PCM memory.
If the customer describes the condition, inspect the transmission fluid for level and contamination. If level was incorrect or you find fluid contamination, repair as necessary. If not, perform the following reflash procedure.
Install a battery charger to ensure that battery voltage does not drop below 13.2 volts or climb above 13.5 volts during the flash process.
1. Reprogram the TCM with the latest software.
a. Connect the wiTECH VCI pod to the vehicle data link connector under the steering column.
b. Place the ignition in the RUN position.
c. Open the wiTECH diagnostic application.
d. Starting at the “Select Tool” screen, select the row/tool for the wiPOD device you are using.
