PCM Question...

[BDR SRT-10]

I've noticed on my PCM that there's another bar-coded sticker labeled across the original one... It reads 'Authorized Software Update' and has two bar codes with the following: Module P/N P05029467AE and Module S/N TEM11848L4J0
Also has a Sequence #: 440700

I'm curious as to what this could be or mean??? I'll post actual pics of this ASAP, but figured I'd ask now to see if anyone else has this on theirs?? Mine's an '04 RC bought used with 19,xxx miles on her...

Thanx!!!

all it means is that a pcm flash was done by the dealer. that is an authorization sticker for the updated p/n.

The PCM on my SRT8 Charger has a similiar sticker....it only means the PCM was updated to the current program at the time....

 

[BDR SRT-10]

Ok cool... Wonder what all it updated and why??? This is not like a Stage II flash I would presume??

No....It is not something your dealer did...it came from the factory with that sticker...

 

[BDR SRT-10]

Hmmmm, The Mopar Connection just said it was something the dealer had done???

Just curious is all, maybe I'm not understanding something fully here???

 

[TheMoparConnection]

is it hand writing or printed?

 

[TNVIPER]

I will back up and say it is possible your dealer did something but we had this discussion on the LX forums and found that everyone's PCM had a similiar sticker...

 

[BDR SRT-10]

is it hand writing or printed?

No, nothing hand-written... All printed, looks OEM... Just a smaller label that's been placed over top the original label with these P/N's and verbage and such... I'll get a good pic of it in the AM and post...

 

[BDR SRT-10]

God, I haven't the time for anything anymore
I will try and get a good pic of the label either 2mrrw or Sunday...

I'm itching to find out what this really means... :dontknow:

Stay tuned!

 

[BDR SRT-10]

Ok guys, here's the pics of my PCM with the additional label over the original...

 

[TNVIPER]

Looks like the label on my PCM and others....put on at the factory..

 

[TNVIPER]

Here is a picture from a Charger..sticker was there when the car was delivered..same as most...

[BDR SRT-10]

Very well... wonder what the reason behind this is from DC??

 

[Brat]

my pcm from B&G has the same stickers.

 

[BDR SRT-10]

/\/\/\/\ Hmmm, interesting... Could this on mine be perhaps a 'mild' flash from the factory to work out a few bugs????

 

[TNVIPER]

If you buy a PCM it will probably have the sticker...the PCMs are just updated with current changes...

 

[BDR SRT-10]

Ok I'm understanding that reason, I'm just wondering what they changed or reprogrammed from the factory?? I mean where they ready to ship out the truck, or car in your case, and at the last minute found out something wasn't totally within the parameters, or could it have been warranty/recall work that needed to be addressed after they shipped 'em??

 

[TNVIPER]

Factory has TSBs all the time...the PCMs may have been produced months before being installed in a car..they will just update.......TCMs are the same...I know some SRT8 owners who purchased TCMs from their dealer and they had these update stickers due to a major TSB that came out late 2006..

I see... Sweet SRT-8 bro :top: There's one in town here that sounds insane when it passes by the office in the AM... And he's just cruising then!! I'd love to hear it WOT!!!! Maybe I'll run into him soon :burnout:
