2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel 75,000Km
Followed the video guide, i didn't remove anything to get at the sensor other than the engine cover. You do have to twist it a bit to get out from the well.
Tried to reset the code with a battery disconnect and left it over night. However, i did have to get someone to clear the code with a scanner. Showed low turbo boost pressure on the code. Drove it home (30min) and the code hasn't returned. A new sensor is 160 from mopar and 200 from Napa for anyone wondering.
Thank you.
good video with well-defined information
You fixed my ride
Thanks for the info.
Will try it out.
Very nice explanation
I will try this tomorrow as mine did this early in the morning
Thanks man!
Thanks!!! Saved me me at least a few hundred dollars and cleared the code immediately!
Always here to help out and share some knowledge! Glad I could help, good luck on your journeys! Cheers!
i am going to try this tomorrow
Thank you so for your info. This is the second time doing this. This is the first and last American truck I buy. I have a Nissan and a Lexus both have over 100,000 miles and no problems or Recalls. Do get me start. Good job my man.
I hear you, this truck has been the worst one I’ve owned by far, deleted now and it’s a bit better now that the engine can breathe but I’m waiting for the day it pukes… only a matter of time lol
Thank you😉👊🏻
Gracias desde Chihuahua
What codes does it usually throw out when that message appears on the dash?
Did you have looooong cranks before it started?
Great video. And thank you. Any video(s) on abs light after sensors have been replaced.
Abs light is still on after you replaced the sensor? Most times if the light is still on after you replaced the sensor could mean one of a few things… your wiring is bad on the truck side, or on the actual bearing itself there is a “tone wheel” that is a magnet and allows the sensor to read the speed, I’ve seen excessive rust build up and actually cause the tone wheel to flake off. Another issue may be the “air gap” between the sensor and where it mounts is too large meaning there is built up rust under where the sensor mounts.. hope this helps! Cheers!
I had a service throttle body on my 2014. Rough idle etc. Fans running after engine off. Turned out to be coolant temp sensor.
Here in australia we call it the MAP sensor which is manifold absolute preasure sensor.
That's what we call here in the states. Not a boost pressure sensor
After how many miles need to clean the sensor?
Hey man, had a question for you. If i get the egr and dpf delete and remove the DPF but keep the CAT and don’t install block plates - Will that cause me issues ? or will it be alright since the EGR/DPF is tuned out. Help a brother out please!
That’d be a good question for your tuner, but from what I’ve read you can leave it all attached but it still may thermal crack and possibly soot up due to the coolant and exhaust gases still running through it.. that being said I would say probably take it off but you can do whatever at your own risk haha. Just my 2 cents, cheers brother!
Hi mate thanks for your detailed instructions on getting this sensor cleaned out. I have a P02E8 code on a Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel and wondering if doing this clean might help, although I don't have the service throttle light yet. I know the problem is on the throttle body butterfly flap position but cleaning all that hasn't helped. Wondering if you or anyone here has experienced/fixed it. Thinking of replacing the throttle body but the car just runs so fine except for this warning. Also noticed if I try to restart the engine right after turning it off, it would not start and continue to crank only. Wait for 20 seconds and try to start, starts normal. Even cold or subsequent warm starts are fine. Maybe EcoDiesels should not be started immediately after shutting down? Only mechanical feel to the issue other than the check engine light and code. No other codes present. Cleared code returns after a few ignition cycles. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated thank you :)
Could be related, could be something different, I know the intake gets suuuuper sooted up so maybe that could be related to your issue too! Hope you figure it out!
Any update, I’m having this same exact issue at the moment down to the t of what yours is
@@user-zn9tc4oo8l Nope been trying different things for about 5 months now. Starts a lot better now though so could be a few things I have tried. But the code comes on and clears every few days for a day or two before coming back.
That's the map sensor not boost pressure and it gets messed up by the oil vapor from the crank case not egr, if you get a catch can it'll prevent that from clogging up.
I had my temp sensor crap out and it kept throwing this code. Cleaned the sensor with carb cleaner three times before figuring out the real issue.
I have the exact problem you have and I did exactly what you did. Disconnected the battery for reboot after. Still have the warning service light on. If I drive it to where someone can reboot the computer would it still work or if it’s still having the problem still broke?
Yeah if you get access to a scan tool, have them read the codes and clear them out. If the code is a hard code it won’t clear and will likely be that the sensor may have been damaged when it was cleaned
How do you clear a hard code?
i have the SETC on the dash but no check engine light, what is your opinion on this?
It’s hard to say, in some Cases I’ve seen that it doesn’t put an engine light on but there will still be a code that will help you further diagnose it! This was my case and it hasn’t come back yet
Parry, my problem today is that as soon as I start my 2014, the engine RPM's race very high. I don't want to put it in gear with that condition. It's in a parking lot now and may have to have it towed after the holiday weekend. Have you seen this with the throttle controller issue?
I have not, sounds like you have a air leak, would definitely take it to a shop but see if any of your vacuum hoses are off or cracked. Also could have an issue with the high idle for when it’s cold out
@@ParryCustoms Thank you Parry!
What did you use to clean the sensor?
Brake cleaner, you can also use sensor cleaner too.
My sons 2014 eco Diesel is having this problem, when the tow truck arrived the vehicle only cranked but wouldn't turn over. we did clean the sensor and cleared the codes but still will not turn over. I can't find any videos with similar situation if anyone can help with answers!
There is an active recall out for the tone ring on the crankshaft that cracks or flakes off, it’s your crank signal.. that would more than likely be your issue! Only problem is I’ve heard after they crack/flake the recall is invalid.. I’d say to have an inspection but it is kind of tricky because it’s located behind the flex plate… can’t be replaced without removing the transmission!
Or also just reading up online, the ring can delaminate and require a software update done at the dealer! “Free of charge” but is anything ever really free? Lol
Do you know if it’s the same location for a 2020 ram
Should be generally close to it, i haven’t been under the hood of a newer one yet, same style sensor I’m going to assume
Thanks, I’ll check it out
I get the "service electronic throttle control" message in my 2014 Ram 2500 every winter when I drive to Colorado. I'm not sure if it's triggered by the sub freezing temps or over 10,000' altitude.
It goes away when i get back to normal temps/altitude.
I'm going to attempt to clean the sensor, but does anyone else have any issues brought on by temp or alt?
Hi brother. Did you get your van fixed? I am having the same problem. I bought a 2014 promaster from Colorado and it's the same problem.
I was thinking of replacing the mass air flow sensor. But I don't want to be throwing parts at it.
This happened 7 times on my 2014 limited ecodiesel. Ended up having to declare it a lemon. Loved that truck other than that issue. Wish I knew this back then. I just bought a used 2017 ecodiesel. It has had the egr recall done. You think that will stop the issue from happening?
I also installed a pedal commander. The throttle lag was very dangerous. Looking into a GDE tune now but I am in California
Should make it better for sure, best way is to have the egr shut off or remove it, but seeing as your in Cali it is hard because of the emission standards there. But the recall will help being that the egr won’t be letting coolant go where it isn’t supposed to. Keep me updated if you wish!
Had the issue on my 2018 ecodiesel..they just repaired the recall..i hope it stops this issue
Recall part on mine lasted 2 years and about 20k miles. Micro leaks again and losing coolant again. I’m about to delete the egr and dpf and straight pipe it. I’m done playing around.
i had that light on for a month and didn't bother to clean it. Now last week, my engine shut down completely. Is there any causation?
The light very well could’ve been a tell tale of something more seriously wrong… would be best to have the codes read on it, could be related, could be totally different reasons
Will this problem make the vehicle not start?
In some cases, more so just reduced engine power or “limp home mode”. But with my light on I was still able to shut the truck off and re start it
I am a tad confused about this issue. This is my first warning light of this nature but when this happens to me my turbo turns off, I have no boost and barely acceleration while my turbo gets about 400 degrees hotter. Since my Jeep (same engine I am assuming) isn't driven on the road I have removed the EGR at around 60K miles, 20K miles ago. My question is the boost pressure sensor part of the EGR because I can't find this thing anywhere!
Nope it’s still on there, it’s on top of the plastic intake manifold, one torx bolt and a harness holding it on!
But that would explain the no build of boost, it puts the vehicle into a limp home mode
Today, my 'Service Electronic Throttle control' message came on and the truck went into limp mode only very briefly, then ran normally the rest of the way home (over 40 miles). But the Lightening symbol and Check Service light are still on. What I need to do is figure out how to clear the lights and see if it happens again. I was hauling a very heavy load and was in Tow-Haul mode with the truck on cruise control (my bad!!) and started up a steep hill (59 mph). I think that triggered this. 158,000+ miles and it had never happened before. As soon as I canceled the cruise control the truck began to run normally the rest of the way home. I had no problem reaching 60 mph but I left the Tow-Haul and cruise modes off. How do I clear the messages and check engine light? Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks.
Takes a scan tool to clear them out, I’ve learnt that disconnecting the battery doesn’t work
@@ParryCustoms Yeah, I think you're probably right. I've tried the key-thing, the battery disconnect, neither worked. If I can get the lights cleared by a shop with the scanner and it comes back on I'll try cleaning this sensor like Parry shows us.
Do you have the parts number for it?
Napa part number is: 227241
@@ParryCustoms fantastic thanks
@@gmac9956 you are most welcome!
This needs 2 be a recall
I got a 2015 Eco diesel my exhaust filter keeps coming up 90% then it shows a brake light out I can drive high way speed but when I smash peddle I lose power
Sounds like your dpf may be clogged, does it ever regen?
@@ParryCustoms no I don't think it regain
@@ParryCustoms is dpf easy fix ?
@@bobbyeastep2370 well it should regen soon and empty the dpf, if not you’ll have to bring it to a shop to force a regen if it’ll allow it. That being said to replace it I belive its thousands of dollars so I’d express every option before replacing it. But at that point you can be tuned and deleted for 1500$ and you’ll never have to worry about the dpf or egr ever again ;)
@@ParryCustoms hey bud, I have a 2015 ram promaster ecodiesel and have the same problem, mine is giving me the p2463 code, what do you recommend to do, I really would like to deleted but not sure if I can do to this kind of vehicles, thanks in advance!!!
What size is the bolt?
It’s a T-40 as I stated in the video, cheers!
I keep getting the "service electronic throttle control" with no CEL and no codes. Turn off the truck and clear the SETC error and it runs fine.
Did you delete your truck?
I found the issue. And yes it lost some parts in a weird boating accident. 😂. It was not the map sensor on my truck.
What is the part if you don't mind I'm having the same issue the only thing is it only happens when I use the pedal when I'm on cruise control It doesn't do it
is yours deleted? When you did the exhaust did you disconnect/remove ALL the sensors that got removed from the exhaust. As in the only thing down there are empty plugs with nothing connected? If there are still o2 or ANYTHING CONNECTED that are being used anymore completely disconnect them.
@@rwhipple73 well my truck also has had a bad boating accident and is falling apart.
but I believe the only sensor is post turbo nox sensor
DON'T USE BRAKEKLEEN! use electronic parts cleaner......
PO299 CODE..I HOPE THE RECALL FIX IT.
