Check engine light - 4,800 miles

[newmason]

Have 4800 miles on my brand new 2022 ram 3500 6.4. Error code P0406. Getting terrible gas mileage (8 to 9mpg) around time baby it. Truck runs fine otherwise, this is the first CEL for the truck. Tried to clear the code but it wouldn't clear. Am I making an appointment to the dealership? >-(

I sure would… I wouldn’t lift a finger to fix a problem like that on a brand new truck.

 

[jetrinka]

Yup to the dealer. EGR related code

 

[newmason]

Dang, will call tomorrow to make the appointment.

Will do. Truck goes in tomorrow at 830am

Trucks been at the dealership since 830am this morning, 7 hours still waiting...

No resolution so a Star case had to be opened. Was told everything is functioning/tested correctly, so I guess we will see what Ram says next.

Any updates?

Any updates?

Went on vacation last week into this week. Truck goes back to the same dealership for them to "run more tests" Friday. Was told they ordered a new EGR incase it needs to be replaced after the "more testing". We shall see Friday I guess.

 

[newmason]

Was told there was a bent pin on the EGR electrical connector. Fixed and back home

Whew, glad to hear it was something simple!

It was simple but took 2 visits a week apart from each other for them to figure it out.
