Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The controller is programmed with generic software during manufacturing to facilitate testing. The controller must be programed with vehicle-specific calibrations to properly control the transmission. The check for generic software is made when the ignition is turned on. If generic software is detected, the MIL will light immediately and stay on even if the fault is cleared until the proper software is installed.
