ISSUE
Some 2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle, and Montego vehicles built through 6/6/2006 may exhibit a long cranking time or a possible no-start on initial start attempt. This symptom may also be accompanied by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0300, P0316, P2107, and P2110. If the vehicle exhibits the long crank / no start issue, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM). If the vehicle just exhibits these DTCs without the long crank / no start symptom follow normal Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual diagnostics instead of this TSB.
ACTION
Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using WDS/IDS release B53.5 and higher. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
