SummaryVehicle System Interface Module Unresponsive This bulletin involves reprogramming the Vehicle System Interface Module (VSIM) with the latest available software. Customers may notice uplift components connected to the VSIM inoperative at times. This is caused by a condition where as the VSIM locks up and becomes unresponsive. No DTCs will be reported for loss of communication between the VSIM and Central Body Controller (CBC). This can be corrected by updating the VSIM with the latest available software. SYMPTOM ONLY FOR 2013 DD AND DP with Power Take Off Prep (Sales Code LBN) Customers may experience after 30 minutes of operation the PTO may shut off. The PTO will start working again after the ignition is cycled.

Several software improvements are available for vehicles equipped with a Cummins 6.7L turbo Diesel. WARNING:There will be a choice between 2 calibrations. One for vehicles that utilize an ammonia sensor and one for vehicles that have had the ammonia sensor removed. Be sure to select the correct software based on vehicle configuration. Prevent Or Reduce Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illumination When No Defect is Present For The Following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). These Faults Have Been Changed From A One Trip Fault To A Two Trip Fault: P0201 - P0206 - Fuel Injector X Circuit/Open Fault Codes. P049D - EGR Control Position Exceeding Learning Limit. Improvements To Prevent Or Reduce Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illumination When No Defect Is Present For: ? P205E - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent (setting when the block heater is plugged in). ? P20E8 - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Pressure Too Low. ? U110E - Lost Ambient Temperature Message. ? U3017 - Control Module Timer/Clock Performance. ? P0087 - Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low. ? P0544 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit - Sensor 1/1. ?
