Another “Check Engine Light.”
It’s the 4th time in less than 5,000 miles. Each time the check-engine codes were thrown right after a “regen” cycle to clean the DPF.
The new codes: P2509 (ECM/PCM) and P2459 (DPF Regen).
Lakeshore Chrysler Ram in Tuscaloosa checked it out and are now waiting for Cummins to send them some needed ECM software updates related to the regen/DPF system.
A few weeks ago Lakeshore Dodge in Slidell, LA, flashed the truck’s ECM with Rapid Response recall 13-024 related to a similar DPF issue.
My concern is if the truck’s cleaning the DPF too frequently, then how does that affect the 15,000-mile oil change intervals Ram brags about?
Maybe it’s time we start doing oil analysis.
Stay tuned for more updates….Bruce Smith / Editor
