Service bulletins for the 2016 Ram 5500

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.

18003222022-10-17. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; SERVICE BRAKES; BACK OVER PREVENTION; EXTERIOR LIGHTING. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates This bulletin involves reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software. Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation a technician may find the following DTCs set in the PCM memory: P064F - Unauthorized Software/Calibration Detected. P218F - Reductant No Flow Detected. P202E - (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Reductant Injector Performance. U0001-00 - CAN C BUS. P1C55 - NOx Sensor Intermittent - Bank 1 Sensor 1. P24A5 - EGR Cooler Bypass Bank 1 Control Stuck. P207F - Reductant Quality Performance. P218F - Reductant No Flow Detected. U110E - Lost Ambient Temperature Message. The following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been changed from a one trip fault to a two trip fault: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. The following improvements/enhancements are also included in this software release:Fuel pressure override test improvement for wiTECH. AC pressure sensor error threshold change. No crank, No start fix. Ambient Air Temperature Improvements. Stationary de-soot with WiTECH fix.

Flash: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Updates This bulletin involves reprogramming the TCM with the latest available software. Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find that the followingDTC has been set:U1111-00 - Lost Odometer Message(DD, DF, and DP with Diesel Engine Only). In addition, the customer may notice one or more of the following conditions: The customer may notice a harsh 2-3 and/or 3-4 shift(2017 MY D2 with ETK 6.7L Diesel and DF2 Transmission Only). 1-2 hard shift. 3-4 flare issue fix. Trans quick learn fix(Gas Engine Only). Transmission oil temperature light illumination during high engine and tow loads. Less than desired towing performance while using cruise control. Harsh engagement while shifting from neutral to drive, neutral to reverse,or park to reverse with vehicle still in motion (rolling garage shift). Engine flare during 2-1 tip in downshift. Less than desired shift quality during 6-5 and 5-4 coasting downshifts. Delayed downshifts in Tow/Haul mode while driving down grades. Less than desired transmission shift performance when transitioning froma low traction to high traction surfaces i.e. ice covered road to clear pavement. Less than desired shift points during light pedal and Wide Open Throttle(WOT) operation or while in Tow/Haul and engine brake modes. 1-2 upshift shudder correction(Diesel engine and DF2 Transmission Only). A harsh 1-2 upshift(DF2 Transmission Only). Excessive gear shifting(DF2 Transmission Only). Harsh 2-1 downshift(DF2 Transmission Only). Delayed engagement when shifting from neutral to drive, neutral to reverse,or park to reverse (garage shifts)(DF2 Transmission Only). Audible squawk noise on 4-3 downshift(DF2 Transmission Only). Poor vehicle acceleration in first gear with vehicle fully loaded(DF2 Transmission Only). MIL illumination with no defect found forDTC P253D - PTO Sense Circuit High(DF2 Transmission Only).
