I have put about 40 miles on with the smarty tune on the truck and beat foot down the highway doing well over 60mph in places where the lamp would normally come on. But so far it's looking good! And I hope it stays as such! I only run the smarty on #3 most of the time weather I'm towing or not and god I missed the power! I have yet to hook up to my trailer and try it but I can usually get the lamp to come on without so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!


Now if I can only get my a/c to work I'd be set! Lol

But again, thanks for the help and will keep ya updated!

Your Vehicle: 2005 Dodge or Ram Truck RAM 2500 Truck 4WD L6-5.9L DSL Turbo VIN C


Vehicle » A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) » Testing and Inspection » P Code Charts » P1222


P1222

P1222-LEAK DETECTION DURING MOTORING

NOTE: For a complete wiring diagram, refer to Diagrams/Electrical .
When engine is motoring (i.e. Engine is running, but requires no fuel injection) the only required fuel delivery to the rail is due to natural leakage in the system. The natural leakage depends directly on the rail pressure. A definite amount of fuel is required to overcome the natural leakage, for different fuel pressures. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sets Leakage Detected, when the fuel flow exceeds an expected value. When a leak is detected in the system, a counter is initiated. When the counter reaches a predetermined value a fault is set and engine derate is enabled. When the leak is not detected the counter counts down, and once the counter becomes zero the engine is set back to normal running conditions.

When Monitored: Engine is motoring and at operating temperature with no fuel system and engine speed related DTCs.
Set Condition: Counter reaches a calibrated value.

Possible Causes


NOTE: Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. See: Powertrain Management\Computers and Control Systems\Testing and Inspection\Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview\Initial Inspection
OTHER DTCs PRESENT

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Are there any other fuel system related DTCs present along with this DTC?
Yes
Perform the diagnostics for the other fuel system DTCs before proceeding.
No
Perform the INJECTOR RETURN FLOW TEST procedure. See: Powertrain Management\Comput

Smarty will hide code p1222. wait to start light and chime usually means code p1222

If your injectors are not that old send the two bad ones out to a injection shop and get the internals resealed. Usually cost 100-150$ each
