Stroke died the other day...

I was driving my Duty and came upto a stop light and truck died. Would not start. Started today but is idling all crazy and sounds bad. The check engine light is on. Code I pulled is P0603 something about KAM. I am puzzled.

  • Possible causes:
    • Battery or PCM has been disconnected.
    • Battery cables loose or poor connection.
    • Battery discharged.
    • Open in KAPWR circuit.
    • Blown fuse.
    • PCM.
    CHECK 5 AMP FUSE #2
  • Key off.
  • Remove and inspect fuse 2 (F-Series) If fuse is blown, replace it.
  • Measure voltage between fuse B+ terminal and ground

You may want to replace your CPS, it's a common problem, with the PSD's, They are fairly cheap about $30. This is what usually causes a no start, or stall.

I checked the fuse. Reset the codes started the truck again idled all crazy again. So I put it in gear and moved truck a little the idle came into normal speed. So let it idle for awhile. Shut it off and pulled two new codes. p1209 and p1211. Seems to be running good now but the Check engine light is still on.
