07 2500 4x4...25,000 miles.. after installing the power cord for the block heater and running the truck for about 30 minutes these codes came on. In addition i have installed a snow plow mount....anyone had similar problems?

 

Check for a blown fuse, #6 I believe.

 

thanks will check first thing in the am

 

By the time i got to the garage today, the light had gone out......the fuse was in fact good.....the turbo solinoid was connected properly and had not been disturbed.......the only thing i found was i had forgotten to connect the fog lights......since the mil was out, not sure what the cause was......will keep an eye on it.......

 

Well since i posted last message, the codes have returned twice since this last posting.......has anyone heard of this problem as a result of installing the block heater power cord? Could this be a software problem that an upgrade will solve?

 

make sure the map is pluged in its on the same side as the heater plug..maybee bumped it its on the air intake tube

 

block heater has nothing to do with any circuit in the system. its a stand alone system. you may have left something unplugged during the installation of the power cord but it isn't the block heater at all.

Thanks to radicalray and cbrahs for your replys......i agree that the block heater is a separate circuit.....i will check for the map sensor wiring and make sure its connected......in addition i will look again at any connections in the area of the block heater. thanks again
