Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 2006High oil pressure?
Happy St. Patty's day... As I was reading this newsgroup, my wife called and said that she was bringing the Dakota home... got a check engine light a few blocks from home and needed to trade trucks and get to work.. I won't be able to have the codes checked until Saturday but will be checking it out a bit later today... She said that she got a check engine light and the only gauge that wasn't normal was the oil pressure.. she said that it was up close to the "H" (I'm assuming at 25 mph or so, not at idle) and that it was usually "in the middle or slightly higher.. Any quick ideas on if/why high oil pressure would cause a CE light? 01 Dakota 2wd, 4.7L auto... I'll check vital fluids, etc. when it warms up a little outside... I'm also hoping that it was a freak light and I won't be able to make it go on again.. *g* BTW: She knew from past experience to check the fuel cap, but the tank was filled last week and she just got the light this morning.. Any suggestions appreciated, I'd like the Ram back ASAP..

Why? You can't cycle the ignition key 'til Saturday? :) An '01 Dak will display the codes on the odometer - click the ignition ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON. >> I won't be able to have the codes checked until Saturday but will be >> checking it [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >An '01 Dak will display the codes on the odometer - click the ignition >ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON. That's next, Tom... *g* Thanks for the quick reply... I was logging on for a quick update... ran out to it in this damned rain and checked it out.. it's NOT a check engine light, it's a "Malfunction Indicator Light" (MIL) The manual (yeah, I RTFM) says it monitors the emission and engine control system... Possibly the catalytic converter?? thanks again, Tom... you're quick!

(spelling from manual) Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm > ok, ok... but then, there is also the "check gages" light... (spelling > from > manual) Yep... and there's that blue headlamp-looking light, and the two green arrow-shaped lights, and the orange gas-pump-lookin' light, and... :) The check gauges light comes on, along with a chime, when a gauge needs looking at (high water temp, high/low oil pressure, high/low volts). But that's got nothing to do with the Check Engine/MIL/SFU light. >> ok, ok... but then, there is also the "check gages" light...

I'm sort of partial to the one that tells me that OD is locked out... but the Cruise one is pretty, also.. *g* thanks again, Tom..
