I am new here and Im sure it has been discussed before. I was wondering if there is anyone who knows where I can find the menaing of the error codes that show up when you plug in. I have a error and am trying to find out what the code means. I have a 2001 1/2 ton dodge ram with the 5.9 4WD

thank you in advance
