Dodge Ram “No bus” Actual repair of 920, 921, 999 codes on 98.5-2000 dodge cummins

#howto #repairs #fix #cummins #dodgeRam

[@cameronkirkendall9270]

You also can look into looking at fuse #9 on the panel inside the truck! I had this exact same issue and fuse #9 was blown.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Thanks for the feedback! I didn’t know that

[@jdazmit2975]

I try to get the codes, I have the no bus but I can't get those codes to verify my problem. Can you explain it to me?

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Yes you can still get the codes it’s only saying go that because the solenoid in the transmission govenor solenoid completes the ecm circuit

[@gavinjohnson8409]

Had this issue also the parts were faulty but not the whole fix.... finally found a broken snap for the ecm left plug... guess it rattles and shorts in the pins

[@Rsp-xv1vo]

My 1998 Durango won’t start the gauges won’t work neither will the mpg. The security light is on and the fuel light too but I don’t get a no bus code I just get 920 921 that’s what led me to this video and at this point idk if I’m having a related problem to yours or not but every video I watch Ect won’t work

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

It’s a security issue, it locks out the starting. And will do that, the no bus on a Durango is because of something weird like a possible ignition switch , that would cause all that sometimes

My 01 1500 no bus light started after I changed the alternator and ignition switch I put a new coil pack then I get a no bus did one those trigger that? Thanks

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

It could be a fuse but also there’s a ground wire with a bolt attached to the ecm on the passengers side firewall in the engine bay, take the bolt out, cover with grease and reinstall, try that before changing other stuff , could’ve blown a fuse. But most likely that trans sensor died when you did that because it was on its way out, these are very easy to change and cost effective too

[@yusyp1699]

I changed the ECM a new one, Crankshaft position sensor, pick up coil, still no bust. Going crazy with this problem , I'll check this selenoid.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

The solenoid is the easiest thing to start with, ecm is the last thing to go, if you have the same code that’s what is causing this, if you have more than you probably got a damaged wire

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Idk about dakotas but no the solenoid is inside the transmission after you take the pan down you’ll see the same solenoid as mine, also older dakotas only have one ground that’s the silver/green wire right on the metal outside of the ecm on the pass side firewall inside the engine bay , same as the dodge rams I believe, spray it with chain lube , if that doesn’t improve anything , try VERY GENTLY loosening and retightening the screw holding that ground wire

@@ThrockRocket what did it end up being man? same exact issue as you.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Sorry I didn’t reply sooner I didn’t get the notification, the boot on the fuse box holding the main wiring harness usually causes this issue, either that or see if you have power going to the starter signal wire , have someone put it in the crank position when you check it for power , or just jump the starter and see if it starts that way, mine started no problem with the codes so it was the transmission solenoid, I’ve seen it on other vehicles where the signal wire on the starter just gets rotted out on the connector, also I live in the salt states , idk about your situation but if you have power going to the signal wire than it’s your starter , if you don’t trace it back until it goes into the main wiring harness if you don’t spot corrosion then check the ground wire on the ecm on the passengers side fire wall in the engine bay , old dodges usually have very simple problems

If the fuel pump is cutting off, swap the relay with another one the same size and see if it works first as the easiest step, if that doesn’t work, you’ll have to see if you have power and ground at your fuel pump, you could have a corroded wire that’s causing the relay to kick off

You popped a fuse for the cluster, simple fix, you may have also snagged a wire when installing, but at the very worse but If you did gently pull on the wires around where you worked to see if a single wire slides out of the sheathing, but that’s if you yanked on/pinched the wires installing the injection pump which is doubtfully the issue

For a split second all my dash lights went haywireI really fast so I took a chance when to Amazon order a remanufactured PCM for 250 bucks with a lifetime warranty already programmed I installed it.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Jimmy Childs that’s awesome you figured it out, Sorry my video didn’t help with that situation, but if the dash went hay wire then yeah that’s something definitely fucked up, I’ve never had anything major besides a P1693 death code on my cummins, but I found out there’s a little screw on the main fuse box that gets loosened up from vibrating over the years, it holds the main harness in it

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Jimmy Childs that sucks that happened to ya, let alone twice, Keep the ground wire in the ecm covered in grease so it doesn’t get corroded, they might have caused the issue, other than that I honestly have no clue, never had any of those issues with my gas rams before I have a 2001 2500 gas and a 2000 cummins 2500 , the cummins was a constant nightmare because some kid had it before me and put a ton of electrical shit on it, my 01 has a small evap leak I can’t figure out, but it’s a 2500 so it’s exempt luckily, changed all the evap hoses, solenoid and small evap valve thing , gas cap do I said fuck it. good luck to you

I have an issue with truck same codes but mine is a five speed I already rebuilt the ecm but it still ended up with the same issue now I did it twice and now I dont know what the issue is

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Plug in the sensor on the harness instead of it being an open plug since you did the conversion , it still needs that diode inside that govenor solenoid in order to communicate with the ecm, even though it’s not doing anything it still is needed to complete the circuit unless you can find a dummy plug for that connector

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Does it still crank? Try taking the ASD (automatic shutdown relay out , swap it with another similar relay, seen what happens, if it’s doing that you got a pinched wire somewhere, If it’s got these codes or should still run, but also it might have corrosion in that main Connector under the drivers side fender, easy to get to, just unplug and check, usually a pin or two will get rotted , do those two things first and let me know I might be able to do a video for that same problem, I had that before on another truck

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Well the ground on my ecu/pcm was fine , I didn’t have any issue there, but I’ve owned 3 2nd gen rams in over 14 years one I had for 12, then rust destroyed it, never once had an issue with the gas jobs, other than the vacuum actuators shutting the bed every few years , and little things but my diesel was the only problematic one, the transmission solenoid communicates with the ecm creating the circuit which was a stupid design but mine still started, ran and drove but the transmission shifted fucked up , but yes as we learn more each day I found out there’s several issues that can have the same codes appear with different causes/problems

[@DavidGuns]

@Just Tim I thought you said something about it not being grounded or lost the ground. on the transmissions in these Dodges off hand I do not remember the years, the 4th gear wave snap ring would break. I have rebuilt many of these and then switch the fuild to Dex 3 and in my opinion runs much better. Rust is the killer, they just don't make them like they did.

@@sdf1597 it’s easy, follow the video, you drop the transmission pan, change the filter, there’s 3 torx screws holding it in, remove them , tighten them up just slightly past snug, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN you only need one hand to tighten them, filter will only need to fingers to pull out, and there’s 4 bolts holing in the transmission solenoid block , it’s silver, and very easy to remove, then there’s the same size torx bit screw holing the clip for the solenoid, (I’ll do a video on it) thank you for the view and sub btw , twist, remove the solenoid , Napa will have it for $90 you can go to Walmart and get ATF-4 very cheap, get the Walmart brand stuff, if you want , and just repeat the same in reverse, but when you add the trans fluid, get like 8-9 quarts of fluid, add 5-6 quarts, start your truck, wait 1 minute keep it running, shift slowly from park,reverse, neutral, drive and lower gears , repeat it in reverse, chock your wheels, place the truck in neutral and check the fluid, on dodges you HAVE TO check the fluid in neutral only while it’s running the entire time

One more question, why do I have to drain the tranny fluid?

[@ketchupmustard5465]

My truck is doing the same thing. I started shaking the wires at the fuse box and was able to get the codes to go away until I hit a bump then the truck would shut down. Mine has the same 920 and 921 with no bus. I didn't have any problems until I had a trans installed. The trans shop said my computer fried so 800 bucks there then I head home with the new computer and the truck would shut down when I hit bumps. I'm kinda lost because I haven't had to do any work under the hood. Everything worked fine until the trans swap. I took my parts cannon to the truck and 5k later I'm thinking of buying a wrecked dodge and rebuilding it with this one. Or just let it sit

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

I’d be mad as hell, there’s a Phillips head screw on the fuse box that holds the main wiring harness down to the box, it’s rectangular and black, tighten that screw w/10mm head I’ll do a video on that sometime, tighten it it not too much, the engine vibrates it loose over the years, had something similar before except mine never shut down, hopefully that truck will help

@@AmericanRustWorker3369 I ordered a new fuse box yesterday. I'm not sure how or why but the 2 months the trans shop had my truck some how water got into the fuse box. I can just about bet that they left the hood up while it was raining. But please make a video on it. I've got 2 2001 dodge ram and the one that's broke is my baby. The other one is my toy not a beat up junker/muder. It's just a parking lot queen. Its funny I built her 3 years ago to be a mud toy but after I put 15k in beefing everything up I didn't wanta break her. So that's my son's graduation present in May. He loves that truck. So I'm at a cross road. It's keep throwing money at my baby or buy a new one. Something about the 2nd gens I like. I guess when ur 6'1" 280 pounds you need room lol

@@ketchupmustard5465 bro that place fucked you over hard man, omg, ok to clean up the water in your fuse box, just spray a bunch of brake clean on it, keep an eye on it, only use about 15 seconds solid of spraying, it will clean any corrosion, water etc, from your fuse box, never had to replace one before where I work unless it was a Chevy Silverado because those are complete junk, my old boss taught me a lot, he was doing mechanics auto, diesel for 43 years, he passed away 2 years ago sadly but he was a mastermind, I’ll do a video give me a few mins and I’ll post one for ya

Is it the same with 6 speed trucks? I don't have a dodge cummins but I'm curious

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Typically yes, these little solenoids are what all transmission shops rely on due to them giving dodge rams a bad name, they do that so they can charge $2500-3500+ for a used transmission, a lot of shops just change these solenoids, throw in a new filter, pan, gasket and save it, or sell it to another customer, no transmission shops completely rebuild, overhaul transmissions anymore unless you want to pay more than what it would cost for a already built or new transmission

@@AmericanRustWorker3369 I had the idea of putting a p pumped 24v cummins in my frankentruck. I wonder how well it work with a 5 or 6 speed

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

1984 Chevy C30 6 speed would be better if you plan on racing it, 5 speeds will blow the transmission seals if you plan on racing it, unless of course you plan on getting a built tranny, or an Allison transmission conversation setup,idk anything about converting to be honest, but if it’s from an older Chevy before 2006 then it shouldn’t be that bad, just a lot of wiring and TCM to ecm planning and wiring schematics, trial and error basically, unless you really know what your doing, I hope for the best for your project.

Did your truck run with the error code on?

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Yes it did, just didn’t shift correctly, if yours or another person that has the same codes but has no start, try checking the fuse box video I did explain it that condition, otherwise it’s a bad ground on the ecm/pcm on the passengers side firewall in the engine bay

@@AmericanRustWorker3369 Mine runs. Doesn't shift right and sometimes slips. My trans got hot pushing snow. I bought the 2 sensors and I'm hoping it works. Thanks for the info.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

You’re welcome, if it doesn’t shift right and you have these codes it’s the governor shift solenoid like what I had, make sure if you do it to change your filter while you got the transmission open, the solenoid fixed my truck, went on an 8 hour drive this summer with no issues , you don’t have to get the expensive one and have issues like what I did, the ones from Napa or wherever you decide to get it worked for me

@@AmericanRustWorker3369 I just got my truck back from having my transmission rebuilt. The wire going into the valve body was melted to the case. I guess it got pretty hot. Anyway, it's fixed with the rebuild.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

That’s terrible man, I’m glad you were able to get it fixed , that’s weird though, I wonder if metal shavings got into the governor solenoid , and valve body causing that issue, idk if you changed your transmission fluid , filter or not in the past
