When it comes to the functioning of a car's fuel system, the engine control module is one of its most essential components. Some factors such as the position of the throttle, amount of air in the engine as well as the gear the transmission is in influences the amount of fuel to be utilized by the engine as determined by your Ram Van PCM. The PCM can be said to be the brain and the thinker of a car.
Without a ECM that is sometimes referred to as a computer or even ECU, a Van cannot run no matter what. The computer electronic device can sometimes burn out even though they are meant to last. Though, to determine the real problem, you can go through certain procedures meant for troubleshooting such problems. There is a possibility of one of the most important transmission sensors used to transmit data to the PCM having broken down.
When the sensors fail, there will be no data that is needed to process specific functions. As an example, when the unit used for sending, the throttle, stops working, the Dodge Ram Van PCM will not have a source of information to tell it the amount of fuel needed by the engine in order to maintain the correct speed. When this happens, it is highly possible that your car will not start let alone work.
The air flow sensor is another critical component of a car that works together with the PCM. This sensor is mainly used to measure the amount of air in the engine; this information is then sent to the computer which then releases the correct amount of fuel into the engine which proportional to the air. When this sensor fails, the car cannot run smoothly due to the fact that the quantity of fuel sent into the engine by the ECU is not in the correct quantity.
This will obviously lead to the wasting of gas and thus money. The first thing a consumer usually thinks of when these kinds of problems arise is the computer or ECU. Just prior to ordering through the internet a Ram Van ECM, ensure that all its components are inspected.
A blown fuse is also directly related to a car's computer that has stopped functioning. Using fuses, a car's electronic components are protected from power surges. Although many homes make use of circuit breakers to protect their electronic appliances, fuses are just the same and can be found in homes as well.
When trying to determine whether your Ram Van's power train control module has stopped functioning or not, you can also have a look at the fuse box. The fuses and electronic components used in a car can be found in a diagram available in the car's operator manual. A similar diagram can also be located on the cover of the fuse box.
In addition to the components mentioned above, the computer's software can also get corrupted and cause the system to fail. This can only be determined for sure by the car's dealer who can then re-flash it with a function version of the software in order to fix the problem by reloading it.
