Help! 2004 Dodge ram 1500
2004 Dodge ram 1500 code AA code Ab and code AC.....replaced vss sensor fixed ground straps....tech at dealer said sounds like PCM.. looking for anything I missed to check
Checked the fuse box I have no PCM reading no and reading but runs and shifts perfect....too much electric driving me nuts
Your codes are c codes , I found the info below might help and use a DRBIIIt
scan tool
They are chassis codes. They are also referred to as a soft code.
The text “C Code” is displayed in the odometer
VFD for about three seconds. If there is no stored
fault information, the display will show two pairs of
zeroes in the format “00” “00”, which indicate that
the display of fault information is done. If there is
stored fault information, two sets of two-digit alpha
and alpha-numeric fault codes will appear in the
odometer display for a three second interval. The
first pair of digits represents a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC), or fault code for the instrument cluster.
The second pair of digits is a counter for the number
of ignition key cycles that have occurred since the
displayed DTC was set. The instrument cluster will
continue to display additional sets of two pairs of digits
at three second intervals until all of the stored
codes have been displayed, which is again signaled
by a code of “00” “00”. Refer to the Instrument Cluster
Failure Message table for a description of each
fault code that the instrument cluster displays. If an
instrument cluster fault is displayed, use a DRBIIIt
scan tool to diagnose the problem. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
And... the codes...

I found the code list in another thread I was wondering if anyone had any ideas other than to start replacement of parts or if I should be looking for a ground wire or bad wire that would cause them. The truck starts and drives/shifts perfectly but eventually will kick engine light for vss and that has been replaced so I am looking for something I missed

Code is P0501 after driving.. sensor is new and good
Trending Topics
Check for a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor also question have you changed tires or anything lately ? As another possibility is because vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle








Can you read the PCM thinks it's getting from VSS??
