Check Engine light

Hello, I added to my signature, I hope it come thru with this post. My question is does anybody have a reader that can tell me what the light is on for? The truck performs just fine so it is probably a warning light for tranny flush or some other Km deal. Just don't have it in the funds right now to buy one, and the edge juice for this year don't read codes.

One way to tell is to (while the truck is stopped and turned off) turn the key from the off posisition to the run position 3 times fairly quickly, then wright down the codes that it gives you and then I can tell you what they mean

Kevin

probably a 0603, 0700

Referring to this thread: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=197152

I couldn't get a code to come up on mine. Anyone around Edmonton with a scanner is my question.

I don't want to hijack this thread. Help for Ranger Bob is priority, but it seems too related to start a new thread.

Ranger, if you're from around here, we may be both asking to borrow/use one I think.

P0243 Wastegate Pressure Control PWM

What I found when I had this code was right on the solenoid on the turbo the wire had rubbed through the edge of the solenoid. Check yours out......

Check engine light

Dodge Bomber

Well as I was leaving the next day the light came back on.
I checked and it was the same code again.
I will check the wires and hopefully that is it.
Thanks guys for the help/

Hello

Thank you for that info, my book calls that code an overboost problem.
My boost has dropped from 36 to 23 max so it sure looks like a turbo issue.
Guess I`m looking for an ungrade, great.
Thanks again and I`ll keep posted.

Lost of boost and Edge Juice with A

DODGE BOMBER
I disconnected the Edge J and my cruise control works again so if we can get together on sunday over a twisty we could remove the code P0243 Wastegate Pressure Control PWM.
I can only read EGT`s on the E/J , but not boost.
Hope its not a wastegate problem, but then again it all about learning.
