Standard Procedure - Shipping Mode
The new Chrysler Telematics Platform (CTP) vehicles no longer have a IOD fuse to use when transporting or storing for a long period of time. The BCM has a mode that takes the place of pulling the IOD fuse called "Shipping Mode" .
The new CTP vehicles will come from the factory in "Shipping Mode" .
To enable/disable the "Shipping Mode" function press and hold the "Front Defrost and Enter/Browse" for 5 seconds. You can also enable/disable the vehicle from "Shipping Mode" by using the scan tool, go to BCM then Misc. function.
