The Dodge truck dealership just got back with me and said if it is throwing the NO BUS code accompanied by a instant stall or no start situation, 98% of the time it's the computer. For some reason Dodge/Chrysler had a very fragile flexible circuit board and was prone to cracking the "tracers". He said i can pick one up in the salvage yard as long as it matches my specific drive train options.

He said "flashing over"? Is not necessary if these guidelines are kept, only if i go with a new computer. So, what are your thoughts on this diagnosis? Thanks.

 

Update x2 Lol...ran a low volt 5volt jumper to the TPS and bingo, everything went back to normal.
The gauges work again, the NO BUS code is gone and now says P Done whatever that means. The only thing that stays on is the engine light symbol after flashing 3-4 times.
Didn't try starting it because the crankshaft positioning censor won't be here till Monday.
...My fingers are crossed.

 

Crank sensor? If the cam sensor is allowing oil to pass, it's bad. The oil will travel up the harness, and cause other problems as well.

 

Yes the cam sensor plug had oil coming out of it when I unplugged it. I might as well just go ahead and replace that too and clean up the plug in real well with electric motor cleaner or something.

 

Anyone in the market to buy a low mile ultra clean 2002 Dakota SLT Quadcab 2wd ?
I've had it!.. Replaced crank sensor, cam sensor, tps, temp switch and new battery. Ran like a dream for another 2 days then while on the highway it started losing power a bucking.
won't rev over 2500rpms. The odometer is now flashing p0320 and p0700 which is crank sensor that is new and transmission failure which is shifting flawlessly!...

 

What brand sensors?

 

I went to the "Ram Ranch" Dodge truck dealership and the box has the Mopar logo on it but who knows where it's actually made.
lifetime warranty and they were almost $3 more than the local parts store. Oh and my truck now is throw a code p1491, fan switch i guess Lol?
This is freaking ridiculous! My PCM must be bad to start throwing all these codes for no reason.
I'm starting to hate Dodge in a quick fashion

 

Go watch this guy he deals with some very strange off the wall car/truck problems.

His videos are not synced so be aware of that.

 

Thanks, I'll watch the vids on lunch break.
I love the truck but this is unbelievable! Its literally throwing new codes on a daily basis Lol.

 

sounds like bad PCM. Might be the reason it was sold....lemon law?
