2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 ignition

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.
Possible Causes
EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (G930) AAT RETURN CIRCUIT

PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting
in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815
to perform diagnosis.

harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
