I am new to flashing and not tech savvy. On an '06 Dodge Dakota replaced the PCM and trying to reflash. I got a download successful message from the Chrysler website but when I go to the J2534 application and select my Snap On pass thru tool I get a message that no flash updates are present. Did I miss a step? I checked the downloaded file on my laptop and it's a pdf file - did I download the wrong file? If so, what does the correct file look like (what file format)?

Here's an informative you tube video .
If the used PCM has the same part number. I think with an old DS708 you had hit and miss capability to replace PCM copy info from old pcm then change pcm and write Vin#s and program keys without need of a j2534 and buying a sub.Last edited by Witsend; 04-22-2017, 10:32 AM. -
PDF file
Hi shookshop, a PDF file is a book type file, PDF stands for portable document file which is something you read.
So from what you wrote I am guessing you did get the wrong type of file.
As I personally have no experience ( as yet ) of reflashing any ecu I am therefore going to guess you would need a file that would end with the following :- .exe
But that is only my educated guess, I may need to find out more on this subject.Comment
