The Calibration procedure is a DIY project that takes about 5 minutes
at most. It involves pressing multiple control buttons, some
simultaneously. The system then enters a self test/calibration
routine. In my case, once the routine completed, the system worked
fine. Search this forum, the web, or one of the Dodge or Chrysler
forums for the procedure. I used to keep a copy in the van, but tossed
my copy when I traded the van for a new one.
