Driving my new 2020 Ram 2500 CTD (just under 2k miles), the orange "engine check indicator" lit up with an audible ding. This was about 5 miles down the freeway after leaving the wash-it-yourself carwash which involves use of a pressure sprayer. Driving was unaffected. Light stayed on for about 48 hours and turned off by itself, but only when I started to drive to the local dealership to have it checked! I went in anyway to retrieve the code:
P0299 - turbocharger underboost.
I snapped a shot of the service guy's screen (seen below).
I've been driving for an additional day. Light has not come back on. Driving well. I figure enough water got pulled up the air intake and into the filter to restrict airflow. Being that I am in Oregon, it's intermittently raining, and highs are in the 40s, it probably took a loooong time (2 days) to dry out and now it's fine. Any other thoughts?
Anyone know of a relatively cheap but good quality OBD tool to retrieve these codes? I'm willing to spend up to $80 or so if it's good quality and conveniently small.
