Reseting the pcm can be found at dakota-durango.com, follow the power tips link for some good ones. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, turn the key to the start position for 15-20 seconds, then reconnect the battery. This is what they say to do, although I don't get turning the key. When the power is removed, I don't think the pcm will see the key being turned. But who knows?

another way to do this is open up the big fuse block in the engine bay and disconnect the white plug with all the wires coming out. let it sit about a minute
you won't have to reset radio stations and time

I think turning the key on for 20 seconds is to ensure all Capacitors are de-energized or not holding any charge. I am still reading the Manual on all of this but that is my guess.

yes turning the key for a few seconds insures that all power is drained from the capacitors soo that the pcm has to reset it's self without saving any info i've had codes show up and removed them in the same way if not the engine light will almost always come on till it's reset
