Have a 2012 ram 1500 5.7 hemi with no throttle pedal response what so ever, truck has a red lightening bolt, check engine light, codes are P2167 P2166 P2116 P2115 P2127 P2122

I’ve done 5 variations of the pedal relearn process, tried a forced relearn with my snap on scanner, tried a new pedal and relearn nothing, new throttle body and relearn nothing, hard reset of unhooking battery and PCM nothing, i Can not for the life of me find an answer so if anyone could point me in a new direction would be much appreciated

The codes point to a wiring issue or missing 5V at the pedal. Pins 2 and 3 should both have 5V.

So this is the diagram i pulled from all data, I’m getting the 5 volts on the one pin, but when i used a jumper wire from the 5volt to the second pin like this says, the APP 1 only jumped to .45 not to the 5 volts it should have, so i guess I’ll have to start tracking down wiring123_1.jpeg123_1.jpeg

You might want to try the same with the APP2 circuit for comparison. Also with the jumper connected, measure the voltage from the 5V supply. If the voltage is pulled down to .45V it's probably a short to ground somewhere. If the voltage is 5V at the connector but the PCM only sees .45V it might be a broken/corroded wire.
