I was driving my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi this afternoon when the check engine light came on. I swung by an Advance Auto store and the only code that came up was P1D73, which they said was Dodge specific.

When I googled it seems to indicate a malfunction in the grill shutter system. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks

I thought the active grill was only on the Pentastar motor?
