If this is encountered, reprogram the ECM with the latest calibrations and re-evaluate the concern.
Important: With the ignition is OFF, apply the parking brake to disable the daytime running lights (DRL) prior to starting the reprogramming procedures. On models equipped with an "Auto Headlamp Feature", the headlamps must be turned off prior to reprogramming.
