More CELs for XMAS!

More CELs for XMAS!
Sigh.....
The long and the short is I am not going to use my EB heater anymore.
I came out this morning, unplugged my truck (yes it be on a timer), fired it up and was greated with a CEL (non blinking again). So, I headed down to dodge so they could read the codes and tell me whats up. The tech asked my if I had plugged my truck in and I replied yes. It was plugged in yesterday too and I did not get a CEL.
The codes that came up where battery temp sensor and coolant temp sensor. The tech then asked me to stop plugging the truck in. He told me it does not get cold enough to justify plugging the truck in. The temps were I live go down to about 28 to 30. Last night (since a storm is coming) the temp did not drop below 45.
So when I plugged the truck in at temps between 28-32, no problem
When I plugged the truck in at temps 36+ = CEL

RE: More CELs for XMAS!
yea. . .there are three sensors AIT, coolant temp, and bettery temp that if they dont match temps within a certian % it throws a code. . .besides, there realy no reason to plug the thing in untill you get to around -20F. the grid heater is good to that if you have the correct oil in the case.

RE: More CELs for XMAS!
the re-flash does address this issue that was common. I am just stateing what the computer is doing. Why DC put that in there is beyond me.
Chris, I am just saying you can start the engine without plugging it in down to -20F, however it is hard on the engine since the oil is so thick at that temp it takes time to get to crucial areas of the engine it is needed. by plugging it up it keeps the engine oil warm to aide in the initial start lubrication.
