DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY RECALL H29 - REPROGRAM WIRELESS IGNITION NODE
MODELS:
2008 - 2009 (LC) Dodge Challenger
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and "Keyless Go" option (sales code GX4) built through August 19, 2008 (MDH 081914).
^ The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters on about 740 of the above vehicles can be removed from the vehicle when the transmission gear selector has not been placed in the "Park" position. If the driver turns the engine off but does not place the gear selector in the "Park" position, the vehicle could move inadvertently and cause a crash without warning. As a result, these vehicles do not comply with the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) No. 114.
^ To correct this condition, the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) must be reprogrammed and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters must be resynchronized to the vehicle. After this repair, the engine will only turn off when the transmission gear selector has been placed in the "Park" position.
The new software will also correct an intermittent RKE condition and add a time-out feature to prevent draining the battery if the vehicle remains in the "Accessory" or "Run" mode for more than 30 minutes with the engine off.
NOTE:
The reprogramming procedure can only be performed with the StarMOBILE.
