Arrow C-codes need help identifying mine

Had this in the sticky, but no dice so I'm gonna start a new thread. After doing the c-code check I found a few, actually all of them look different than what is indicated on the c-code wiki. Truck is fine so i don't know the importance of these, so here goes.


A4 08
A7 15
AA 15
B8 01
00 00

A4 08 - No idea
A7 15 - VIN checksum error ( Smarty related on a 305/555 motor )
AA 15 - PCM mesage not received ( also smarty related )
B8 01 - No idea
00 00 - Done all diagnostic trouble codes have been displayed
Rip112 do it again, and check A4, B8. The last two numbers in the code are key starts. It goes up to 99. The AA and A7 are smarty and if you don't change the program will clear after 99.

The second set of numbers is the key on count since the Instrument Cluster code was set. I have a list somewhere that I can't seem to locate at the moment. I think it had more code definitions than the wiki list does. It came from a Dodge Diagnostic Service manual for 2003 trucks. Not the DR Service manual. I will keep looking.

Most of the Instrument Cluster codes that are set seem to be a momentary thing and not constant. If there is a real problem you will probably see other instrument or truck issues.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping to hear, no real issues! I figured out the second set of numbers was key counts cause it kept reading a higher number when i redid it.

RamWheelsBy4, if you happen to find out what they mean let me know, I'll have to UPS a 12 pack to ya lol!!!

Well I did finally find the file with the codes and I was wrong (not unusual), it is the same list as on the wiki page. No beer for me. I have looked through 2003 and 2004 diagnostic manuals and can find no additional instrument cluster codes.

The DR manual incorporates a lot of the diagnostic service manuals from 2006 and up. Don't see anything in any of those either.

What would that A4 mean, circuit rationality?

B8, you think that could be cause of the recon 3rd brake light? I've heard of it before where the light stays glowing all the time, mine has done it from day one. It doesn't glow as bright as when its turned on, but you can tell something is lit up in there.

Maybe I should start a new thread, but how do you clear / erase / reset the cluster c codes?
