THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08-026-06, DATED JUNE 02, 2006, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION AND NO ASTERISKS HAVE BEEN USED TO HIGHLIGHT REVISIONS.
THE StarSCAN(R) FLASH FILES FOR THIS BULLETIN MUST BE RETRIEVED FROM THE INTERNET.
StarSCAN(R) UPDATE CD 6.05 WAS THE LAST CD TO CONTAIN FLASH FILES.
SUBJECT:
Flash: Overhead Console Temperature Reading Inaccurate Or Dome Lamp Turns Off Too Soon

OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) with new software.

MODELS:
2006 (DRIDHID1) Ram Truck
NOTE :This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 30, 2006 (MDH 0530XX).

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The vehicle operator may notice that if a vehicle door is left open for longer than 20 seconds the illuminated interior (dome) lamps will turn off.
The vehicle operator may describe that the ambient temperature first displayed in the overhead console is not accurate (displays -40°C or -40°F), when the ignition switch is turned to the "On" position, then slowly updates to the outside ambient temperature as the vehicle is driven.
NOTE DO NOT reprogram the CCN if the overhead displayed temperature stays at the -40°C (-40°F) reading after driving the vehicle for MORE THAN 3 minutes and at speeds greater than 32 Km/h (20 mph). Check the system for an open circuit condition.

this may fix your problem

 

Fantastic!!
thanks Jamie

 

I have not experienced this but my truck says it was manufacture 5-06. Would i already have this flash?

 

seems like they only flash them if you ask for it....I really doubt they pulled it in off the lot to flash it.

 

im asking does "5-06" mean i would have or not have the flash installed from the factory?

 

Thanks for the TSB tip. Mine has done it twice and both times it reads -40F and does not change until I shut it down and restart the truck. Sounds like the open circuit situation. Open circuit?? Is that dangerous?
