#1 of 4 dodge ram 1500 "no bus" by ramdown Sep 23, 2009 (9:28 am)
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9 auto 4x4 quad cab. In the last month the truck suddenly shuts off while driving 3 times. when I try and restart the motor turns but it will not start and I get a "no bus" code on the odometer. After multiple attempts (5-10 min) it turns on.The dealer said they can't find anything wrong and It could be the pcm (they need to check the truck when it's dead). I'v looked into replacing the pcm, I'v been told it has to be flashed with the car & I'v been told by pcm rebuilders that if you give them the vin # they will send you a flashed unit. Is the pcm the problem or should I look somewhere else? Can the pcm be flashed off the car?

Replying to: ramdown (Sep 23, 2009 9:28 am) This is a very common problem with that generation of Ram. NO BUS means the dashboard has lost communication with the computer. Search on "no bus" here in the forums and you'll get the info you need.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host Replies to this message: ramdown (Sep 25, 2009 7:06 pm) corkscrew (Sep 26, 2009 4:17 am)

Replying to: kcram (Sep 24, 2009 5:57 pm) thanks for getting back to me. I looked up the other posts and have cleaned the connections at the pcm, checked the fuse box under the hood , and checked the connections inside the truck above the kick panel. I sprayed electric contact cleaner on all the connections removed, cleaned and reinstalled the fuses( big black ones) The truck stopped again today and would not restart after a bunch of attempts and about a half hour it started. Took the truck to the dealer, couldn't find anything wrong and said to take it when its broken. What do I do now, any suggestions? Replies to this message: corkscrew (Sep 26, 2009 4:17 am)
