SERVICE INFORMATION

All Models; Software Updates 

When performing a software update to a TCM or an ECM, the gearshift position selector must be in park. If you try to perform an update with the gearshift in the neutral position you will get an error message that reads" PRE CONDITIONS NOT MET / IMMOBILIZER IS NOT ENABLED". To resolve this concern, be sure you have the vehicle in park and attempt the procedure again.
