In an attempt to resolve this what is your latest software issue. Is it 3.61 or 5.02. I did some investigating. Yes if you press the compass and music note on your steering wheel for tens seconds and than scroll up and down you can see your software load. Mine says "CCN Latest SW Info, 2/25/04 v 3.54, pn 04839559AI." Now this is fine but I have had three SW upgrades since 2/25/04. Bought my car in 5/04. Had 4.6 put on last summer, 5.01 done in 9/04, and 5.02 done at the end of December 2004.
So I talked to my Chrysler machanic budy. He told me my upgrades are for the Power Control Module (PCM) and the only way you can check your SW version there is with Starscan at the dealer. What comes up on the screen on your car is probably the Body Control Module that was installed when your car was new. I did not have time to ask more questions. IE Does different SW versions control different things in your car?
I can tell you my problems have been idle / lurching / transmission / engine issues. And they updated my PCM SW and the only way to do that is with Starscan at the dealer. My car is performing much better. I will see if I can find out more info.
