Default Runing All Sencors

I had my check engine like come one, I checked the code. It was one of my O2 sencors. No problem. My question is, after erasing the code. How do I run a check on all the sencors. I drove it to the store a few times so far, but I believe it has yet to run the evap. I think there might have been another, but Im not sure. So what is the process after erasing codes, to run all of them to be sure everything is fixed.

you cant run a check manually, you just have to wait until the computer would do it, usually every cold start the evap/emissions systems are tested

Well you can do a resistance check and some this and that tests but that's about it. Here are instructions to reset your PCM and other info: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ine-light.html


The OEM brand in there is Denso so I would replace with them. Now I bought them on www.rockauto.com and was able to get both of mine for like $60 bucks.

I have done a few cold starts already and still has not run the evap. It HAS run the O2 sensors already so I know they are good now. I just want all of the sensors to be run just to ease my mind. I had no idea about the code retreival on these Durangos! If I had known that, I wouldnt have waited so long to find out my O2 went out. lol. Should I just take it on a short trip for it to run the evap?

I love the V-10, but wouldn't do a trans flush.....LOL


Anyway, if you aren't sure if the other O2 sensors aren't working right just replace them all and be done with it.

I put it on the scanner, its showing me the evap is the only one that hasnt run yet. Im sure the O2 sensors are fine now. Its run those and double checked how they are working, using the scanner as well.

On that V10, even if I do have to replace the whole transmission, its still worth the price im going to get it for. But yea, I wanted to know if you had any of those constant little problems with it that just get annoying after a while, or its just been an incredable truck. Sounds like its been just an incredible truck!

So far it's been great.

Watch the track bar in the front end of the 2500 Rams.
