Good afternoon y'all...
I have a 2016 ram 1500 with the 5.7.
My problems started a few weeks ago when I got a P1033 code for the IAT. I replaced the sensor, and cleaned my air filter. The problem would originally come and go, but it got more consistent. Living in the south, I would reset the code with my scanner to be able to use my remote start to cool my engine prior to me getting in it. I noted a few times prior once i plugged my code scanner in, it would say service.. Some times it was the throttle system. But the problem went away.
This evening after getting off my ambulance, and i was going to clear the code so I could remote start it, because it was 93 out, and I plugged my scanner in and went to turn the ignition to ACC to clear the code, and I had no power. Like my battery was dead. So I pulled the scanner off, and then the power came back. So I attempted to replug the scanner in, and I started getting all kind of service lights. It was Shifter, A/B system, ABS, Trailer brake system, and P/S syste. It also said service shifter system do not shift or turn engine off until a safe place is reached, as the engine might not start again. I pulled off the code scanner and the engine turned back on. It started with no issues, but left a few U codes.
I talked to my cousin back home who works at a garage. He said he believes that it is a bad ground, and to get it checked out. He also warned me about shops that will just say it s the ECU and replaced that and the problems wont go away.
So my main question is, is there anyway to find if any of these systems share a ground location, and if so where to find it. I have looked online, and I will be honest, I am a bit of a novice with mechanical things, but electrical systems scare and confuse me. Thank you in advance.
