SOURCE: engine diagnostic codes

I don't have a dodge ram but the codes for the dodge vehicles where pretty much the same. For my intrepid the codes read for the following numbers

12 - Problem with battery connection (This usually happens if you disconnect the battery)
21 - Problem with the oxygen sensor circuit
52 - Oxygen Sensor signal input indicates rich mixture during engine operation.

It sounds like you may need to change an oxygen sensor. Hope this helps.

1995 dodge ram 2500 obd port location

1995 should still be OBD I and you can retrieve the codes by cycling the key on and off 3 times within 10 seconds. Just count the flashes of the check engine light.

What dose the code p1740 mean ? I have a 2001 dodge ram 2500 v8 . I was driving it the other day and my check engine light came on with the code .

its a trans code that is manufacture controlled meaning the information for the code meaning is not required by law for them to describe. so my code lookup program does not have that info. but go to the dealer and if you can nice talk one of the techs and mabee he/she will look it up on the mds for you.

Dodge ram 2500

If the engine light remains on constantly then there is a code set telling you what the problem is. I suggest you find a mechanic who can read the code telling you the problem. It may not be noticeable to you but may cut your mileage or may be harming other sensors or parts.
