Angry Stalling When Cold Outside/Check Engine On/Code P2509

As you see in my sig. It's a '06. I've got 43,900 miles on it. When the temperature outside gets down to around freezing, the truck stalls, the check engine light comes on and it throws a P2509 code. It happened 3 times within 10 minutes of operation this morning. It starts right back up and seems to run fine. I've had it to the dealer twice because of this within the past couple weeks. Chrysler said it was ground contacts the last time which the dealer cleaned and tightened but that obviously didn't fix the problem. Can anybody out there offer a solid fix???? Many thanks.

P2509 Powerdown Data Lost Error

With that being said and being such a new truck would a faulty ecm be the culprit?

If anybody is interested, I got the truck back from the dealer today. It was there for about a week. They replaced the TIPM for a grand repair bill of $1,023.98. I'm still in a bit of shock but am definitely re-thinking my view of my current Dodge and it's reliability. I had a '97 Caravan and a '04 Ram 1500 HEMI before this truck without any real issues. Just beware out there. Read up in some other forums on the TIPM module. I'm contacting Chrysler. I'm not limping away quietly.

Uh. Your truck is still under warranty, isn't it? That shou8ld have cost a single penny. I think you need to do a little homework and start considering asking for a refund.

what is the build date of your truck?
google TIPM module go to TSBs for 2006 trucks, go to sec. 8 electrical, look @ DTC P1277 on diesel trucks in cold weather.
see if this means anything to the service guys, you shold not have to pay out of pocket for a reflash or replacement while under warranty.

Build date is Feb 2006. The truck just turned over 44,000 on the odo. The dealer told me the TIPM was fried and is only warranted to 36k miles under the bumper-to-bumper. I did not get the coveted extended warranty.
