| Description of the problem | upon restarting my 2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel, my abs light and parking brake light came on after driving a few short moments ,i also noticed that speedometer indicator was not working but the vehicle rpm indicator was. Causing myself some concern i checked my brakes and noticed i had a hard brake pedal when applied but was still able to stop. I contacted my local dealership and took my vehicle in for service for this issue and recall notice concerning the drivers air bag inflator. I was contacted back by my service adviser, asking for approval for additional two hours of diagnoses time due to the fact his mechanic could not find the problem. I was notified at end of the day that the issue was found to be faulty power distribution center, output failed for circuit f202 unable to recover tipm thru reconfiguration. No pdc available thru parts at this time, fabricated jumper lead to to circuit f202 from fuse 28 in pdc. This is a temporary fix customer advised to replace pdc asap current price $917. 00 additional 1. 5 hrs labor to install and program unit . Total hours for diagnosis was 3 hours at a cost of $315. 00 to customer. I believe this should investigated by the nhtsa as a on going concern and for consideration of a issuing a new safety recall for this issue. |
