A small number of customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the Technician may find one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) set in the PCM: ? U0140 - Lost Communication With Body Control Module (BCM) (RT Vehicles Only). ? P0456 - Evap System Small Leak. Transmission Enhancements are also included with this software release. These changes include the following: ? Garage shift engagements into D may be harsh at times after shutdowns of 10-30 minute duration. ? 5/6 Upshift timing adjusted to improve top speed performance (markets where speeds in excess of 161 kph (100 mph) are permitted). NOTE: The Transmission Enhancements only apply to vehicles equipped with the 3.6L engine (sales code ERB).

Repeated filings are grouped only when make, bulletin number, publication date and complete summary agree. Original record numbers are retained. Older publications remain available, and an explicit later version is shown when established. Pre-1994 vehicle associations are separated from default results; an unspecified year does not mean all model years apply.
