Theory of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the vehicle speed via the Anti-Lock Brake Module over the CAN BUS. When the PCM sees a high torque and high boost condition for a period of time and the vehicle speed has continually reported 0 MPH, a DTC is set. This monitor is a one trip fault.
