2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 sensor

Theory of Operation
The General Temperature Rationality looks at the outputs of the three temperature sensors and compare them
under cold start conditions. Following a start to run delay time, the outputs of the ambient, engine coolant, and
intake air temperature sensors will be compared. If two sensors agree but not the third, the third sensor is declared
as irrational. If all three sensors are irrational the General Temperature Sensor Rationality is failed.
When Monitored:
Ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10 volts.
Set Condition:
Ambient Air, Engine Coolant, and Intake Air Temp sensor inputs are compared under cold start conditions.
After start up the temp readings are monitored. If two of the three readingsagree and the third doesn’t, a DTC
is stored. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Theory of Operation
TheEGRvalvehasapositionsensorandthe EGR position rationality is designed to make sure that the valve
moves freely within its operating range. Closed valve position referencecheck verifies that the valve is within its
allowable upper and lower limits. The EGR position rationality test looksfor a sustained error relative to commanded
valve position.
