I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ 318 Automatic and the CEL comes on every time I put the vehicle in motion. What can be causing this? I can't find anyone that has the right connection to read the codes but I know it has something to do with the transmission as it started shifting a little funny after the light started coming on.

 

does your speedo work? abs lite on as well? brake lite?

Welcome to DF!

 

No auto parts stores in your area have OBD I readers? They will usually read your codes for free.

 

Try this, http://dodgeram.info/Engine-Gas/OBDI/pcm_fault_code.htm

 

Advanced doesn't have one that fits, and O'Reilly people are a bunch of morons. There's fits but they can't get it to work.


Thanks!

I will try this out.

 

Found

Code 32- EGR Solenoid circuit Short or open in the EGR solenoid circuit. Check for loose, broken, or shorted wire in the EGR valve wiring and connectors. Possible air fuel ratio imbalance not detected during diagnosis.

Code 37-Torque converter clutch solenoid CKT or Trans temp sensor too high or low


Any suggestions?

 

Check the wiring on both circuits. If the wiring looks ok, gonna have to replace parts.

 

I tried to find the damn EGR valve and am having trouble locating it. Where is it?

I still think it has to do with the transmission as the light don't come on until you drive for a bit. (Three Part Question)What do I check on the tranny... Is there a diagram of where these parts I need to check are located or and are they simple to get to?

 

You can grab the 95 service manual from the faq section. That will have all the wiring diagrams.

EGR valve is behind the intake manifold, on the passenger side. (yeah, cleverly concealed....)

Check all connectors for corrosion, broken/exposed wires, all the usual stuff.

 

How do you get to that damn thing? It is back there with very little room.
