The MIL illumination will typically be accompanied by one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| P0032 | O2 - Sensor 1/1 Heater Circuit High |
| P0038 | O2 - Sensor 1/2 Heater Circuit High |
| P0052 | O2 - Sensor 2/1 Heater Circuit High |
| P0058 | O2 - Sensor 2/2 Heater Circuit High |

| P0152 | O2 Sensor 2/1 Circuit High |
| P0158 | O2 Sensor 2/2 Circuit High |
| P2504 | Charging System Output High |
| P0563 | System Voltage High |
Diagnosis / Trigger Conditions
Diagnosis for these issues involves verifying the presence of a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination and one or more of the listed DTCs. Technicians will use a Scan Tool (wiTECH) to confirm related systems are functioning correctly. If any symptoms or DTCs not covered by this bulletin are present, they should be addressed first.
Repair Procedure Summary
This Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 18-050-24 REV. A involves updating the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software. The procedure is as follows:
- Verify if the vehicle's VIN is on the Rapid Service Update (RSU) list. If so, proceed with the update. If not, but the vehicle exhibits the symptoms, the update should still be performed.
- Check if the PCM already has the latest software installed. If it does, the bulletin is complete.
- Reprogram the PCM with the latest available software using the wiTECH Diagnostic Application. If issues arise during flashing, a ticket should be submitted to the Helpdesk.
- After reprogramming, check if any of the O2 sensor DTCs (P0032, P0052, P0058, P0038) return. If they do, further DTC diagnostics and repair procedures are required.
- Clear all DTCs that may have been set in any module due to the reprogramming process. The wiTECH application will automatically present and allow clearing of these codes.
This bulletin supersedes previous versions, TSB 18-050-24 dated May 21, 2024, and TSB 08-142-24 dated June 19, 2024. This update has also been released as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 24-109.
Required Tools or Parts
To perform this 2024 Jeep Wrangler PCM update, a wiTECH scan tool or equivalent diagnostic equipment is required.
