Service bulletins for the 2014 Ram 4500

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.

18-096-162022-08-15. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; EQUIPMENT. Flash: 6.4L Diagnostic And System Improvements This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software. NOTE: **This bulletin contains optional software update that should only be used in situations where the customer is specifically complaining of a Drone Noise, Shudder, Pulsation, or Vibration under light throttle applications while vehicle is operating in MDS/ECO mode. There will be two separate software options displayed on the wiTECH flash tab. The software file released for this condition contains the verbiage ?OPTIONAL?. The other file is the standard software that does not contain improvements for the Drone/Shudder concern. If for some reason the customer finds this shudder improvement objectionable, the PCM software may be returned/reflashed to the standard version. Both software versions will address the remaining conditions noted in the bulletin. A small number of customers may experience a surge, shudder or pulsation type sensation when driving on smooth road surfaces at highway speeds of 64-129 km/h (40-80 mph).** During normal diagnostics a technician may find one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present: · **P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit.** · P0300 - Multiple Cylinder Misfire, cold Idle misfire (DJ,D2 or DD vehicles only). · P030X - Cylinder Misfire (any cylinder). · P04D1 - Cooled EGR Temperature Sensor Circuit High. · P04D0 - Cooled EGR Temperature Sensor Circuit Low. · P2504 - Charging System Output High. · P0441 - Evap Purge System Performance. · P2066 - Fuel Level Sensor 2 Performance. · P0401 - EGR System Performance (DJ/D2 vehicles only). · P2096 - Downstream Fuel Trim System 1 Lean (DD/DP vehicles only). · P2098 - Downstream Fuel Trim System 2 Lean (DD/DP vehicles only). ·

18-034-14 REV. A2022-08-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. P0520- Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit This bulletin involves replacing the oil pressure sensor with a revised part.

Upon further investigation the Technician may find that the following Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been set: P0520 - Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit
90030592022-08-08. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Park Assist Sensor 1) Active or Stored DTC of Signal Shape / Waveform Failure fault: B128E-25, B128F-25, B1290-25, B1291-25, B1292-25, B1293-25, B1295-25, B1296-25, B1297-25, and/or B1298-25, check for snow/mud/ice/obstruction and clean the Sensors, both front and back (behind bumper) of sensor. The snow/mud/ice can be behind the bumper, sensor retainer and/or the sensor which may cause customers to think they have an issue since they cleaned the front of the sensor/bumper, but not behind where dirt/mud/ice snow can accumulate. Once the Bumper and Sensors are completely cleaned and clear of snow, mud, ice, and/or obstruction, the sensors must activate in order for the faults to go STORED. After cleaning the Bumper and Sensors, turn off the engine, wait 10 seconds, turn on the engine and then place the vehicle in REVERSE so that the sensors activate. The faults will go STORED. 2) Active or Stored DTC code of Short to Ground fault: B128E-11, B128F-11, B1290-11, B1291-11, B1292-11, B1293-11, B1294-11, B1295-11, B1296-11, and/or B1298-11, or if you have an active or stored DTC code of Performance or Incorrect Operation fault: B128E-92, B128F-92, B1290-92, B1291-92, B1293-92, B1294-92, B1295-92, B1296-92, B1297-92, and/or B1298-92, then check the wiring behind the sensor. Specifically, ensure that the connector behind the park assist sensor is fully mounted. Ensure also, there is no dirt, corrosion, or damage in this connector behind the park assist sensor as this will also cause a Short to Ground fault. With potential wiring issues addressed, the sensors must activate in order for the faults to go STORED. After all sensors are properly connected (you will likely hear a click once the connector is fully seated on the sensor), turn off the engine, wait 10 seconds, turn on the engine and then place the vehicle in REVERSE so that the sensors activate. The faults will go STORED.
