are you sure it doesnt say no bus i had that problem on 2000 cummins ram. computer module failure on instrument cluster that wasnt serviceable. about $700 to replace entire cluster. wasnt a happy camper. on tue 9 dec 2003 191441 -0600 albert cowboys@dallas.com wrote my 2001 rams abs light mil light and gas light come on and my gas gauge speedometer rpm gauge and other gauges do not work. i also get a lo bus error message on my odometer and it is not keeping mileage any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated .

yes your right it does say no bus. i talked to a mechanic and he said this was a common prob. with dodge makes me feel like i bought a lemon. truck only has 35000 miles on it and im already going to have to dump 700.00 on it thats ridicalous! thanks for the advice if anyone else has any ideas of what it is and what i can do any feedback would be cool..ty are you sure it doesnt say no bus i had that problem on 2000 cummins ram. computer module failure on instrument cluster that wasnt serviceable. about $700 to replace entire cluster. wasnt a happy camper. on tue 9 dec 2003 191441 -0600 albert cowboys@dallas.com wrote my 2001 rams abs light mil light and gas light come on and my gas gauge speedometer rpm gauge and other gauges do not work. i also get a lo bus error message on my odometer and it is not keeping mileage any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated .

you need to get it hooked up to a scanner and unplug the various bus modules one at a time until bus intergity returns several things can cause your problem yes your right it does say no bus. i talked to a mechanic and he said this was a common prob. with dodge makes me feel like i bought a lemon. truck only has 35000 miles on it and im already going to have to dump 700.00 on it thats ridicalous! thanks for the advice if anyone else has any ideas of what it is and what i can do any feedback would be cool..ty are you sure it doesnt say no bus i had that problem on 2000 cummins ram. computer module failure on instrument cluster that wasnt serviceable. about $700 to replace entire cluster. wasnt a happy camper. on tue 9 dec 2003 191441 -0600 albert cowboys@dallas.com wrote my 2001 rams abs light mil light and gas light come on and my gas gauge speedometer rpm gauge and other gauges do not work. i also get a lo bus error message on my odometer and it is not keeping mileage any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated .

i never saw a lo bus error but some times my gas guage reads empty and then restarting the engine seems to cure it. also my abs and brake lite come on quite frequently. dealer says this is normal. seems odd to me. i also have an intermittent igition cutout at aroung 1650 rpm. on wed 10 dec 2003 030040 gmt tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net wrote yes your right it does say no bus. i talked to a mechanic and he said this was a common prob. with dodge makes me feel like i bought a lemon. one electrical component failure doesnt make a vehicle a lemon. truck only has 35000 miles on it and im already going to have to dump 700.00 on it thats ridicalous! is the vehicle still under warranty 2001/35k miles. if not talk with your dealer and see if theres something they can do for you. at worst case youre looking at $350-$400 for a new one depending on exact model not $700. removal/installation is simple .
