2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Where can I purchase a Central Control Module

[cgood]

According to my local Dodge dealer they don't sell this part for a 2001 2500 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel. Without this I could have some serious electrical problems. Does anyone have any ideas where I can purchase one?

Have no idea what that is. If they mean and ECM go find a competent dealer, they can get them easily. The PCM is a little harder to find but I think Doorman is selling them, probably remans.

[FONT=&quot]Three versions of the Central Timer Module (CTM) are available on this vehicle, a base version (Central Timer Module (Base)), a high-line version (Central Timer Module (High-Line/Premium)), and a premium version. Whichever version of the CTM the vehicle is equipped with, it is concealed under the driver side end of the instrument panel inboard of the instrument panel steering column opening, where it is secured to a stamped steel bracket that is integral to the instrument panel armature. The CTM is enclosed in a molded plastic housing with one (base) or two (high-line/premium) integral external connector receptacles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system through one (base) or two (high-line/premium) take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire harness.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The base version of the CTM is used on base models of this vehicle. It is also sometimes referred to as the Integrated Electronic Module (IEM). The base version of the CTM combines the functions of a chime module and an intermittent wipe module in a single unit. The high-line version of the CTM is used on high-line vehicles. The high-line CTM provides all of the functions of the base version of the CTM, but also is used to control and integrate many additional electronic functions and features included on high-line models. The premium version of the CTM is the same as the high-line version, but is used only on models equipped with the heated seat option.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The high-line and premium versions of the CTM utilize integrated circuitry and information carried on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network along with many hard wired inputs to monitor many sensor and switch inputs throughout the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming of the CTM allow it to control and integrate many electronic functions and features of the vehicle through both hard wired outputs and the transmission of electronic message outputs to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CCD data bus.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The features that the CTM supports or controls include the following:[/FONT]

• Automatic Door Lock - The high-line/premium CTM provides an optional automatic door lock feature (also known as rolling door locks). This is a programmable feature.
• Central Locking - The high-line/premium CTM provides an optional central locking/unlocking feature.
• Chimes - All versions of the CTM provide chime service through an integral chime tone generator.
• Courtesy Lamps - The high-line/premium CTM provides courtesy lamp control with timed load shedding.
• Door Lock Inhibit - The high-line/premium CTM provides a door lock inhibit feature.
• Enhanced Accident Response - The high-line/premium CTM provides an optional enhanced accident response feature. This is a programmable feature.
• Heated Seats - The premium CTM controls the optional heated seat system by controlling the operation of the heated seat relay.
• Illuminated Entry - The high-line/premium CTM provides a timed illuminated entry feature.
• Intermittent Wipe Control - All versions of the CTM provide control of the intermittent wipe delay, and wipe-after-wash features.
• Panic Mode - The high-line/premium CTM provides support for the optional RKE system panic mode features.
• Power Lock Control - The high-line/premium CTM provides the optional power lock system features, including support for the automatic door lock and door lock inhibit modes.
• Programmable Features - The high-line/premium CTM provides support for certain programmable features.
• Remote Keyless Entry - The high-line/premium CTM provides the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system features, including support for the RKE Lock (with optional horn chirp), Unlock, Panic, and illuminated entry modes, as well as the ability to be programmed to recognize up to four RKE transmitters. The RKE horn chirp is a programmable feature.
• Remote Radio Switch Interface - The high-line/premium CTM monitors and transmits the status of the optional remote radio switches.
• Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Control - The high-line/premium CTM provides the speed sensitive intermittent wipe feature.
• Vehicle Theft Alarm - The high-line/premium CTM provides control of the optional Vehicle Theft Alarm features, including support for the central locking/unlocking mode.

[FONT=&quot]Hard wired circuitry connects the CTM to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the CTM through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]All versions of the CTM for this model are serviced only as a complete unit. Many of the electronic features in the vehicle controlled or supported by the high-line or premium versions of the CTM are programmable using the DRBIII® scan tool.However, if any of the CTM hardware components are damaged or faulty, the entire CTM unit must be replaced. The base version of the CTM and the hard wired inputs or outputs of all CTM versions can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods; however, for diagnosis of the high-line or premium versions of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRBIII® scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.[/FONT]

Bob4X4, Awesome info. Any idea where a CTM can be purchased? Or is it possible to have one flashed, repaired?

I've got some interesting things going on with radio buttons, cruise working not working (BTW replaced clock spring a few years ago so not that).
