Default Error Codes

Does anyone know the error codes for the computer for the Dodge Ram pickup. I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L, Quad Cab.

I am getting a error code P1491 which is something with the emissions but I am not quite sure. I used my friends Code scanner to find it and he erqased the code but it came back on.

Please help if you know anything that can help me.

I found it as:

Open or shorted condition detected in the radiator fan control relay control circuit.

I'd replace that relay. Do you have an electric fan on that truck?

I may posted the wrong Code. I have it written down in the truck. The code scanner said something about emissions when it read the code.

Where can I find a list of the codes.

BTW Nice Truck Amanda.

Thanks. I will find exactly what the code is and may be picking your brains to fix the problem.

I fixed the problem. It was apparently a loose relay. All I did was make sure all the fuses and relays in the power box were pushed down.

Error code P1491 is a fuse for condenser fan. Replace fuse and after 5 cold starts it will clear the code or take off neg battery cable for a few min. to clear

Good luck
