SUBJECT:
Blue Smoke From Exhaust On Initial Start-up When Parked Facing Uphill On An Incline
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) with new software and installing a revised engine oil pan.
MODELS:
2011-2014
(WK)
Grand Cherokee
2011-2014
(WO)
Durango
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine (sales code
EZH) built on or before October 1, 2013 (MOH 1001XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
A small number of customers may experience blue smoke from the exhaust tailpipe when
engine is initially started after an extended cold soak period and vehicle has been parked
facing uphill on a significant incline. This condition is typically the result of oil pull over on
the rear cylinder walls. The revised oil pan incorporates an improved windage tray/oil ·
scraper that helps reduce the condition. The associated PCM software update
incorporates a reduced engine vacuum feature that is enabled under these conditions
which lessens the effect of oil pull over.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in
TechCONNECT, verify all engine systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are
present record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further
with this bulletin.
If the customer describes the symptom/condition, perform the Repair Procedure.
