Service bulletins for the 2016 Ram 3500

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

18-027-162022-09-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM). Flash: 6.7L Diagnostic And System Improvements This bulletin involves reprogramming the Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module (ECM/PCM) with the latest available software. The following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been changed from a one trip fault to a two trip fault: · P0421 - Catalyst 1 Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1. · P2280 - Air Flow Restriction / Leak Between Air Cleaner And MAF. · P203C - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Level Sensor Circuit Low. · P208D - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Pump Control Circuit High. A small number of customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation a technician may find the following DTCs set in the PCM memory: · P0128 - Thermostat Rationality Improvements. · P2281 - Air Leak Between MAF and Throttle Body. · P218F - Reductant No Flow Detected. · P0218 - Transmission High Temperature Operation Activated (68RFE Only). · P0868 - Line Pressure Low, MIL Action (68RFE Only). · U110E - Lost Ambient Temperature Message. · P205E - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent (setting when the block heater is plugged in). In addition to addressing the above DTCs, the following powertrain system improvements/enhancements are also included in this software release: · Engine Noise Improvements. · Engine Hesitation Improvement. · Improved Engine Fuel Economy. · Reduction in engine noise during regeneration at idle. · 68RFE Transmission Overall Shift Quality Improvements. · Test results fix for partial range misfire (68RFE Only). · Ambient Air Temperature Improvements. · Stationary Desoot with wiTECH Fix. · OBD Misfire Monitoring Improvement (68RFE Only).
