Looks like from what they said, they DID leave the Tazer in. That's good news. I will be leaving mine plugged in when I decide to get this done.2 Weeks ago (as mentioned several posts ago), I took my Jeep in for the recall. 3 times they said it was fixed, and 3 times I got on the highway, and "service transmission" popped up, and into limp mode. .... ugh
Well this last time I think they fixed it. I took my Jeep for a test drive for about 40 mins on both highway and slower roads, and the first time since they did the recall "fix", everything worked!!!!!!
I'm not 100% sure of this, but I believe they left the Tazer married with correct tire settings. (35s, stock gears) Then they did their resets, and then the key new piece from the failed attempts, they had to do something in 6th gear to calibrate everything (which was mentioned by someone in this thread). I've attached what I believe is the STAR case that describes this. (I'm waiting on confirmation from the Dealership that this is the correct STAR case.)
Below is what my receipt from the dealership says:
![]()
The "105" comes from Circumference = 2*Pi*R = 2*R*Pi. In my case 2*R = 35" tires. If you approximate Pi to 3, then you get 35*3 = 105. It bothers me that they didn't use 3.14 for Pi, but if 3 works, I guess I won't complain
![]()
.
I want to drive my Jeep around a few more days before I'm convinced it's fixed, but this is the first time things are pointing in the right direction.
I still am hesitant. 93k miles and it feels and functions perfectly. I don't want them to screw it up.
But not having the gear/tire size correction will certainly cause things to go wonky.
