Battery temp sensor performance. There is a flash for it, TSB# 18-011-01.

It's a software update for the ECM. The codes is listed as Ambient/battery temp sensor performance under service info but when you read the TSB it specifically says the code is for battery temp sensor.

I looked up the flash on Dodge.com, it says that the code is for gas engines, this p/u is a deisel. Does it still apply?

OOps, you are correct. I must have selected the 5.9 gas when checking. In that case, you are looking for a bad battery temp sensor or wiring. It is located under the battery in driver side battery tray.

I am a DC tech so I get my info directly from printed or online service manual. I believe the intake temp codes are P0112 and P0113. If you have an ambient temp sensor, it would only be an input to overhead consol, not ECM.
