But what exactly does the reflash do? I mean is this just some sort of weird glitch that this new software fixes? I mean it has to be doing it for some reason right??!!
I was told that there is a programming error in a "timing" in the 4wd system , the same message kept popping up on my 06 right after I got it. The dealer did the TSB (re-flashed it) and i haven't seen it since. and they do it for FREE!
Mine's going in the shop tomorrow for some other things...I'm going to see if they can do this too....Doubt they'll do it for free but I'm sure going to ask.
I may have to go to the dealer and get mine flashed. This pops up ALL the time for me and its pretty annoying when I'm driving @ interstate speeds and it BINGS really loud...
my 06 used to do it alot and i had the dealer flash the computer. went away for probably 3 years and is now coming back on intermittently. it will come on if i drive too fast over railroad tracks or if i'm turning into a drive that has a steeper grade than the road. it is annoying. it's back off everytime i restart the jeep though.
The FDCM detects the Front Differential Solenoid Control is shorted low.
Possible Causes:
- FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SOLENOID
- (T306) FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
- (T306) FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
- (T301) SWITCHED BATTERY SOLENIOD SUPPLY OPEN/SHORTED TO GROUND
- FDCM failure
I had that problem for awhile they said it was a sensor or something. I havnt had it since. Now whenever I hit a pothole my airbag light goes on. My jeep dash lights up like a jet with warning light errors.
C1417 is "Front Differential Control Circuit Low." it could be front control module, differential solenoid, drive control nodule, or maybe a messed up wire.
Just got the Jeep back. They replaced the final drive control module but it didn't fix it so it was free. They found the actuator-axle locker in front was bad and charged me for it.
I drove threw puddles really fast one time for like 30 mins straight and I got this light and I think the same code, after about 2 days when everything dryed up it went away on its own. It was a wheel speed sensor messing up, did they check that>?
I don't know if they checked those or not but the light is off now with the above two parts added. If it does it again they'll have it back on their dime. Under warranty for 12 months/12K miles.
