on 2016 Ram 1500 5.7L V8 Hemi · 4WD

What this code means

  • LIN slave device failure
  • Wiring resistance too high

Diagnostic steps

  1. Check LIN bus voltage (typically 0-12V)
  2. Test LIN master module
  3. Inspect LIN wiring for high resistance
  4. Check LIN slave device responses

Repair notes

LIN bus operates at lower speeds. Check wiring resistance and master module.
