Ok, I give up. What is "BIf"?

 

[Jkieffer]

Not sure how that got on there?

First post. Should be just...

Puddle Lamp Present
Select “yes”

Mirror Turn Signal Present
Select “yes”

Haven’t tried this but it stands to reason.

It worked like a charm.

I originally had power fold mirrors purchased. The showed up with missing connectors and both turn signals cracked and my truck is all black so they were not going to work. These tow mirrors are perfect and now the signals work as well. I absolutely love not getting gouged by the dealer.

Since you do have tow mirrors, you might want to enable “tow mirror present” as well.

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie with the 5.7L Hemi. About a week and a half ago I bought the OBD Link MX Bluetooth and AlfaOBD app and programmed the following features:

1. DRLs
2. Fog lamp dropout enable
3. Global down

I have not made any other changes to any modules or used the OBD Link in more than a week. This morning I got a check engine light on my instrument cluster. I checked the BCM for faults with AlfaOBD and no faults were found. I checked the Engine control module as well and the following fault was found:

Error code: U11C2

Implausible/Missing Transmission Message

Test not complete

Error temporary

Error warning lamp not requested

I am surprised to see that it read my engine as a Pentastar even though I have the Hemi. Regardless, could this code have been caused by using the AlfaOBD app? Does anyone know what this code means? I haven't tried to clear it. It has me nervous enough that I was thinking about just bringing the truck into the dealer. I am still under the factory warranty. Any other thoughts?

Did you create a log before you made any changes?

 

[Steady Red]

Did you create a log before you made any changes?

Yes I did. Reviewed changes in the log, and the only thing I see were the changes I listed above. When I double checked just now after the engine start, the check engine light seems to have cleared itself. Maybe this code isn't a big deal?

 

[Ricks Ram]

I wouldn't worry about it. Most times U codes are communication related codes. If the check engine light stays off you should be fine.

The controller reading as Pentastar is OK, I think....when you first startup the adapter and ask AlfaODB to connect to the powertrain module, it should prompt you for the type...Hemi/Pentastar are the same selection. Im guessing thats where the Pentastar came from in your report.

Been waiting for this one. I’m not sure but probably so. I know you can turn off the ECO light but you can also do that on the screen. I assume you’re actually referring to disabling MDS?

yes, turning off MDS is what i would like to do

So I tried to update the TPMS system but I ran into an issue. I was able to go in using Alpha OBD to change the tire pressure threshold but when I went and connected to the radio frequency hub I received an error about some kind of ISO code but was given the option to continue anyway. Once connected I tried to reset radio frequency hub using the PIN I obtained from the dealer. When I did this I received an error that said failed and that I didn't have security access. As I stated I'm using Alpha OBD as well as an OBD link MX Bluetooth. This was after having the dealer add the different sales codes for the factory options that I added to the truck. Has anyone run into this issue? Is it possible that gave me the wrong PIN number? They gave me a printout with both four digit and five digit numbers also showing my VIN number so I don't see how this could be incorrect. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know enough about this to say for sure. However, if you feel you followed the procedures correctly then you could always submit a bug log to the dev.

Someone else might speak up but I don't think there has been too many people attempt this with Alfa?

I did submit the ISO code error through the app to the dev. I’ll try again and post a screen shot of the errors.

Please do! I am going to attempt this soon myself.

This is what I did and the result.

This is the function I have been waiting to see if it works before I purchase the app. Hopefully you can get it working! Keep us posted please.

Anyone in Northern Alabama have an Autel that I could meet up with to reset the RFH. I could go back to dealer, but I dont know when I will have time, and it seems that AlphaOBD doesnt support the rest of the RFH yet.

I know over on the cummins forum there is a thread with people that have them and where they are located. Even a couple that will ship it to you. The all charge $100 to do it and if you have it shipped you have to put down a big deposit in case you don't return it.

My 2016 6.7 SLT came with cloth seats, no heat.
I put in a set of Limited heated/cooled seats as my truck came with fully populated harness.
When I set the heated seat material type to "Perforated Leather" ALL 4 heated seats and the heated wheel would turn on and kick off early. If I turned on the heated wheel it would heat slowly and kick off after a long time, if i turned on one seat it would barely heat and kick off after a while, If I turned on 2 seats or more it would kick off within seconds.
Once I changed the Heated Seat Material Type to "Default" ALL 4 work perfectly.
If you have access to an A E Tool or ALFAobd, check the "Heated Seat Material Type" setting and try setting it to "Default" to see if that cures the issue.

It's easy to Identify the cause of an issue when only changing ONE setting at a time...

Thanks for this. I did the same but was having problems with the passenger vented seat. Originally It worked when I selected to option for “vented seats present”. I guess I had since then changed the seat type to “perforated”. Everything still worked as should (heat/cool) except the passenger would cut off like you described except only on vented. Finally read this post and switched to “default”. Truck didn’t like this as the vented option still didn’t work and now the airbag system service light came on. Switched it back to “cloth” as this is what my truck came with originally and bingo, everything workin as it was the first time.
