I've got a 1999 Durango 5.9L 4x4 SLT

When I started my truck, the ABS light came on. Then, shortly after the gauges ALL go to zero, fuel light comes on, check engine and in the odometer/trip reading area it reads "no bus". All the gauges don't register and my overhead trip computer reads fine in all modes EXCEPT DTE(distance to empty).

Any idea what happened and how to fix?

Any and all ideas welcome!!!

 

sounds like an electrical problem, start by checking all the electrical connectors (specifically at the PCM) and the grounds, the no bus message points to a loss of connection to the PCM

 

I would check the fuses.

 

Does the engine start and idles?

 

No bus ussually results in New PCM

Brother has 99 and his was intermittent stall, then restart after 10 minutes. Bit the bullit and repalced, no problems since.

 

yes, the truck runs and idles fine. it seems to run fine overall, just the "no bus" and all gauges go to zero.

which is the pcm? can someone post a pic so i know what i'm looking for.

thanks

 

sorry, it's right there by the battery, right?

 

How much was the PCM?
Is it user replaceable or a shop/dealer install?

 

you can order them on ebay, they program it for you and ship it out then its plug and play from there

 

No, that's the PDC (Power Distribution Center). This is where the fuses are located for main power distribution.


What we are talking about is the PCM and this is the main computer that runs the vehicle. It is located on the passenger side half way down the inner fender under the hood. There is usually 3 plugs going into it. You can search on ebay for one that is for your year and motor.

I found one for you that you can pre-programed with the company for $185 shipped to your house: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...Q5fAccessories
