RAM Ram 2500 2010-2018 Emissions & Sensors Specifications

The emissions sensors for the 2010-2018 Ram 2500 are designed to be compatible with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. These sensors are specific to the model year and engine type, ensuring accurate emissions monitoring. It is crucial to verify the part number and ensure the sensor matches the vehicle's VIN. Using non-compatible sensors may result in inaccurate readings or engine performance issues.

Emissions sensors in the Ram 2500 require regular inspection to ensure proper functionality. Check for dirt, debris, or corrosion on the sensor surface during routine maintenance. Replace sensors as recommended by the manufacturer or if error codes indicate a malfunction. Regularly inspect wiring and connectors for damage. Keeping the engine well-maintained also extends the life of emissions sensors.

To install or replace emissions sensors, first, locate the sensor on the exhaust system. Disconnect the electrical connector and use a wrench to remove the old sensor. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor and install it by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to the manufacturer's torque specifications and reconnect the electrical connector. Clear any error codes using an OBD-II scanner.

If the emissions sensor malfunctions, first scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner. Check the sensor's wiring and connectors for damage or loose connections. Inspect the sensor for physical damage or contamination. If the sensor appears functional, verify it is receiving proper voltage. If issues persist, replace the sensor and clear error codes to test functionality.

To optimize emissions sensor performance, ensure the engine is running efficiently by using high-quality fuel and performing regular maintenance. Keep the exhaust system clean and free of leaks. Avoid using aftermarket components that may interfere with sensor readings. Regularly monitor sensor data using an OBD-II scanner to identify and address issues early.
