Consumer Description

2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE ECODIESEL THROWING FAULT CODE P203E REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT/ERRATIC. THIS FAULT IS CAUSED BY CRYSTALLIZED DIESEL EXHUAST FLUID (DEF) ON THE INTEGRATED SENSOR IN THE DEF TANK. THE SENSOR IS UNABLE TO DETECT THE AMOUNT OF FLUID IN TANK AND WILL SHUT DOWN ENGINE AFTER 500 MILES IF THE TANK IS NOT REPLACED. I DO BELIEVE AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT RECALLS FOR THIS FAULT WHICH ARE: NUMBER: 18-038-15 REV. B AND NUMBER: 25-001-15 REV A. THE FIRST ONE COVERS A PCM FLASH FOR THE 2015 RAM AND 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IN THE NOTES IT SAYS THAT THIS IS FOR ALL 3 LITER 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. WHICH SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A 2014 RAM ECODIESEL. THE SECOND ONE IF FOR 2014-15 RAM 2500,3500+ WITH 6.7L DIESEL ENGINES. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH THAT IS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THAT EXACT ISSUE AND NEEDS THE SAME SERVICES BUT IT HAS A 3 LITER ENGINE.
