Service bulletins for the 2015 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.

399 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

18113222022-09-26. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EXTERIOR LIGHTING; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL; BACK OVER PREVENTION. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates This bulletin involves reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software. There will be a choice between two calibrations. One for vehicles that utilize an ammonia sensor and one for vehicles that have hadthe ammonia sensor removed. Be sure to select the correct software based on vehicle configuration.Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Uponfurther investigation the technician may find that one or more of the following DTCs have been set: P064F - Unauthorized Software/Calibration Detected. P202E - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Injector Performance. P24A5 - EGR Cooler Bypass Bank 1 Control Stuck. U0001 - Can C Bus. P20EE - Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) NOx Catalyst Efficiency BelowThreshold - Bank 1 (For ammonia sensor equipped vehicles). P1C55 - NOx Sensor Intermittent - Bank 1 Sensor 1 (For ammonia sensor deletedsystems only). P218F - Reductant No Flow Detected. P242F - Diesel Particulate Filter Restriction - Ash Accumulation. U110E - Lost Ambient Temperature Message. P205E - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor CircuitIntermittent (setting when the block heater is plugged in). P20E8 - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Pressure Too Low. U3017 - Control Module Timer/Clock Performance. U1421 - Implausible Ignition Key Off Time Received. P2281 - Air Leak Between MAF And Throttle Body. In addition, the following software enhancements are also available: A/C pressure sensor update. wiTECH engine cooling fan actuation test update. Ambient air temperature improvements. Operational improvement for dual alternators. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) efficiency scan tool test improvement. Fuel filter minder calibration changes. wiTECH Fuel Pressure Override and Fuel System Run Up test improvements. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system improvement to help prevent freezeup. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system enhancement during stationary regeneration.
