Eco Diesel Engine codes

[biggdadd58]

Has anyone out there experienced their eco diesel throwing a code causing it to go into limp mode showing "throttle position sensor" need attention? We have experienced this past week, being close to 0 degrees, a check engine light followed by a "lightning bolt" symbol with the TPS wording flashing on the dash. Dealership is stating that this can be normal when temps are below 32 degrees. That moisture in some lines will freeze and cause the turbo to be underboost. The fix they say is that a cover, along with a block heater may keep this from happening..."may" being the important word.

What and where is the CAC system located on the engine? They are saying that icing in the intake system is causing this to throw a code. Funny part is that they have a part # for a cover but nothing available at this time.

I feel you pain what the dealer told you is bs mine started doing the same thing at 11000 miles and now at 27000 miles it wont last 3-4 days without having to be taken into the shop for a reset it is the boost pressure sensor on the turbo receiving a low pressure signal and after a month and a half where I only had my truck for 7 days they still haven't fixed it

They have given up on trying to figure out the problem personally I think the turbo is shot its not giving the right pressure when I haul anything they are just resetting the sensor at this point and then I drive it till it fails again I love ram brand but this eco diesel is a **** I use ram additive and they are blaming it on Pennsylvania fuel. I am taking it back to the shop tomorrow if you want to get more info call blaise alexander ram jeep crysler in State College pa
