My odometer code no bus and it wont start 1999 dodge durango

this an key code throubble, go to dodge workshop

Hey Gord,
Try disconnecting your CPU for about 3 to five minutes, this will reset your CPU. Then see if it starts. Note. there is probably a faulty microswitch somewhere causing your CPU to overheat and cut everthing off (No BuS). Try keeping it cold with a zip-lock bag of ice (keep your CPU dry). Your Durango should work as long as you keep the CPU is cold.

I would start by making sure that battery connections are clean and tight.

Are you getting any MIL or Check Engine light?

Also, are you seeing a message such as "No Bus" or similar in the odometer window when this occurs?

It could be water in the gas.. Get some "dry gas' aditive and follow directions..
It could also be the fuel filter.. Try replacing it..
I have seen this happen on several Dodge's..
The fuel filter gets clogged and choked the engine at idle..

Good luck..

try unplugging the crank sensor that is located in the bell housing of the transmission,on top of the bell housing,when these go bad they pull everything to ground including the bus communication,if you unplug it and the message goes away,replace the sensor,hope this helps

Check fuel pressure regulator.

Check your PCM a very common issue among Durangos See if there is any type of error code in the odometer. If 'no bus' is shown it is your PCM the main computer and your looking at about $500-$800 to replace it. to get it started try unhooking the battery cable for a few minutes and then hooking it back up

The connector on the ECU is faulty,The ECU is located on the passenger fender well under the hood,You can try to unplug,Clean and plug back in to see if that helps.

All the modules are connected together to communicate with each other via the PCI bus. It is possible that one of the modules is pulling the bus down.Since the vehicle won't start it could be any one of the modules. It will be a process of elimination to find the faulty one by disconnecting them one at a time. Here are a few, powertrain control module (the one you replaced) Instrument cluster, overhead console, anti-lock brakes, airbag. Since the cluster unplugged wont read anymore, just try to start the vehicle to see if that was the one. Otherwise see if the odometer message of "no bus" goes away after each one is unplugged.

It is your computer. I had this recently as well. No Bus means no connection to the on board computer. There is a company in Florida that repairs these computers, so don't get suckered in by the dealership for 750-1000.
