check power supply to the ecm, check the relays. If the power to the ECM is shorting out and coming back i should show a low voltage code.
-
Ok,a low volt code on the body controller ?? Cause there isn't any codes for the engine . Thought it was the low coolant sensor replaced it and the inactive codes disappeared. Was thinking it might be the relay/ 100 amp fuse thing , but don't where it is . This has happened 2x in last 2 weeks .
Heavyd , thank you for responding so fast . -
Have you checked the battery connections? Sometimes they can get a little loose. Check all wires around the batteries to see if one might be a little loose or might be touching metal.
Spartan0229 Thanks this. -
Sounds like the engine is losing ignition power. If there is something wrong with the ECM power harness the ECM will log code 434 for loss of battery supply while ignition is on. If the ECM is losing ignition power it will not log codes. The body controller, instrument cluster and ABS will all have 1939 related datalink failure codes for loss of communication with the engine controller, (ECM). Either case, once the engine is off-line with the rest of the truck on-line you will get the electrical fault warning in the LCD display.

Ok, I'll let you know what I find . You think it could be the ignition key switch and / or relays in the fuse box . I'll check those 1st
thanx Heavyd !!!!!!! -
Think I found code
spn. FMI. SA
2167. 11. 167
ignition message and switch ignition don't match - root cause unknown -
Yep, ignition power problem. You are on the right path.
-
Heavyd, code SPN 639- FMI 9 popped up then disappeared next time I ran codes. That's the problem . The wiring to the ecm. Long story short , this truck already has a new/ different wiring harness and ecm . Likely just gonna get rid of this truck , have had regen issues w/ this truck also, ( doser condition , regen inhibit - multiple dosers 3x and sensors have been replaced ). Got a lemon
thanx again Heavyd !!!!!Spartan0229 Thanks this. -
Wiring and the connectors are the weak link sometimes. Electrical gremlins can be really hard to find. Yep, I hear you there. Sometimes you just have to know when to walk away!
