Hello, I just purchased my first dodge.. a Ram 1500 Sport. I started the truck yesterday morning.. its -35 and the engine light came on but did not get any messages. I disconnected the battery and it went away. Today, same thing I started it and the engine light came on. My dealership is 500Km away.. gross i know. just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

yeah. the local auto store sold 287 batteries in one day last week. My temp gauge outside reading has been stuck at -40 for days.. I don't think it reads anything colder than that. lol even tho there has been days where its -30 it still reads -40 outside..

Hi Audioslave,

I have read threads about this behavior on other sites. Apparently if it gets below -35 to 40 the engine kicks the light and does not generate any OBD codes. Do a web search you should be able to find more info.
Hope this helps.
