Thanks, TDR Staff

Do I get an 6.7 or keep the 5.9?

Swap stock 3.73 for 3.42

I found this list on another site the link is:TroubleCodes.net- engine & OBD2 Trouble Codes and Technical info & Tool Store. . P408 is Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor B Circuit High. I have booked marked this site for my information. Hope this helps.

I check my DTC codes weekly since my EGR is un-plugged, to insure I do not have any other problems, I see P405. I am seeing better mileage with the EGR since I have un-plugged The EGR system. I am running winter fuel and I checked my spread sheet from 07-08 winter and I have had a 1. 5 MPG improvement.
 
The code for a 6. 7 is P040B. You will need a scan tool to diagnose it properly.

Theory of Operation

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Outlet Temperature Sensor is a variable resistor sensor and is used to measure the temperature of the EGR gas flow after it exits the EGR cooler. The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies 5-volts to the exhaust gas recirculation temperature signal circuit. The ECM monitors the change in voltage caused by changes in the resistance of the sensor to determine the EGR outlet temperature. There are two rationality tests. Key-on and engine running. The key-on test fails if the EGR Outlet Temperature Sensor value is different than the key on temperature estimate by more than a calibrated threshold. The engine running test fails if the EGR Outlet Temperature Sensor value does not change by more than a calibrated threshold, over a calibrated period of time. If this fault becomes active the ECM will light the MIL light immediately. During this time the EGR valve will be closed. The ECM turns off the MIL when the diagnostic runs and passes in four consecutive drive cycles.



When Monitored:

EGR Outlet Temperature and exhaust temperature below a calibrated range at key on.



Set Condition:

The key-on test fails if the EGR Outlet Temperature Sensor value is different than the key on temperature estimate by more than a calibrated threshold. The engine running test fails if the EGR Outlet Temperature Sensor value does not change by more than a calibrated threshold, over a calibrated period of time.
 
sag2, I really enjoy the Theory of Operation... . the way I was taught to test and diagnose you have to know the Theory of Operation to understand what and where your testing... .

My manuals don't seem to have Theory of Operation.....

Thanks, and keep posting them.....
 
unfortunately there is too little theory of operation available. If I know how it is supposed to work I can fix it. About the only reason you can't is software glitches that keep it from working as described.

About ten or fifteen years ago the Chrysler training developers got into a mode that was "don't give them any theory, just trouble trees" and luckily for us out in the field it has moved back to theory. Before you had to call Detroit to find out exactly how it worked.
