P018C / P018D 2016 RAM 1500 - Fuel Pressure Sensor Swap *Read Description* 

Thank you for this video. The dealership told me to match the wiring and cut one at a time and it was wrong, after seeing your video I looked at the plug and released the pins from the new plug and installed them the way you described and cleared the check engine light and it worked great .thank you so much. We need more men like you in this world.

No joke, my brother just had his 2016 hemi ram 1500 fixed at a shop because they watched your video. Thanks for the time you took to make this video.

Thank you for this great video, it sure makes life a little easier, great explanation without annoying and loud music.

Thanks a Million Times for this precious information. It almost seems the engineers wanted aftermarket techs to suffer many hours trying to figure this thing out on our own.

I was beating my head against my tool box trying to figure this out. Truck would start then shut off after replacing fuel sensor. I checked and rechecked and tripled checked the wiring making sure to match the same pin locations. The new kit included instructions to make sure to use twisted pair if your truck already has it but didn’t give the updated pin locations. Thank you for your service sir!

Thanks for figuring that out the dealer didn’t tell us anything about a wire change. Your the man!

Just did this yesterday. Hardest part of the job is getting the damn tube to disconnect using the tool. Took me about 30 min but I finally got it released. Wiring the new plug was simple. Code cleared immediately on my 2013 Sport. 👍

0:23 I had problems with my fuel pressure sensor and after having it changed, I had more problems. I went and checked the electrical and discovered that the wiring was wrong. Rewired it based on your video and solved my problem. Thank you.

Thanks! Stopped the frustration our shop was feeling trying to figure out if the new sensor was bad or not ,no wiring instructions with it.Wire harnesses from Chrysler always were rewired in same config.as one being replaced...until now.You should get paid for this info! THanks!

I know this video has been out for quite a while but it's still helping folks. THANKS for the helpful video and especially explaining the change in wire location! I would have taken forever to trouble shoot without the info in advance. I just finished replacing the sensor in my 2013 RAM 1500. It was a real PITA splicing the wires which we all know are back at the firewall. It's fun lying on top of the engine to work when your 60 and have a bad back. Truck running now with no codes indicated on display. Only thing I noticed is my initial high idle when the truck is first started is about 3-400 rpm higher than it was before. Only lasts a few seconds at 15-1600, then settles back to the usual 11-1200 rpm with cold engine. Not a big deal but I found it to be a bit odd. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I'm hoping it will resolve once the truck has been driven several times.

That new connector schematic was perfect, thank you so much!

Thanks for info on the re-engineered sensor and plug. A dealer led me to believe they were shipping the original but I received the new one with wire kit. Like many, I would have assumed the wiring would orientate like the old. Thanks for doing the homework for the rest of us.

Thanks for the cheat codes dude, appreciate you doing the leg work for us on the wiring diagrams!

Awesome vid thanks!!! Big help.

Thanks man...wired it like the old one... did not work right..you saved me with your wiring diagram...Thanks...

Thank you bro this work on a 2019 Cherokee . It has different color cable but I follow the position pattern. Numbered 1 2 3 and switched the dang cables.

Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful!

Thanks you for your information I was able to do the job.

🎉hey bro you saved me a 650 bill at the dealership with this video took me a min to understand the wires but ended up clearing to check engine light thanks alot brother

Thanks a lot awesome video exactly what I needed!! Now my new sensor works

Good job man! I knew the pins had to be wrong. Hate those engineers at Chrysler! Thanks for saving me the time to find the pinouts lol

I’ll be doing this as soon as I can get the damn sensor. 3 weeks minimum back ordered. Thanks for posting this man, it’s very helpful. Don’t know why dodge thought it would be a good idea to change the sensor like that but your video will definitely come in handy. Cheers

Very informative, thanks for sharing 👍

Just want to say thanks when I changed my sensor and the new plug could not find anything on the new pin out your awesome

Hey man great video. I literally rewired this sensor with both sets of wires it came with and got another new sensor and finally narrowed it down to these fuckin wires must not be in the right spots... thanks for this video it was exactly the fix I needed. Great research and great job helping the auto community.

Dude you saved me. I had the same wiring issue! Cheers

Great video, Thanks Dawg!!!

Awesome video, my dude!

Thank you!! ❤

Thank you!

Thanks for the outstanding video. Same around here no help about connector wiring.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the video. The manufacturer has a redesign with no instructions.

Thank you a ton you save me time and money 💰.

Excellent. I would have broken the sensor supercede harness plug if not for seeing this.

Men, thank you!!! Your video really save me from this one. How sneaky they are, changing the plug and the wiring. You buy the part, no instructions on how to install a completely different setup. Thank you again.

Appreciate you

Well, I haven't watched any other youtube videos re; the issue. However, I definitely will be using yours as a reference. Greatly appreciate it.

thank you!!!!!!

What is the difference from 2013 to 2016 ?? The sensor replacement part looks different. It looks like one side is longer going into the fuel line.

Thank brother I just changed it on mine about to drive it for a few days to see if the light goes out on its own

Perfectly

Very Helpful, would like to add the following: New design fuel sensor/line from MOPAR Pt# 68543905AA (for 3.6 eng) does not come with the new wire plug that is needed, you are on your own to find one, MOPAR was NOT helpful in finding one. NAPA Part# EC2219 is the new smaller plug you will need.

Thankyou

How do u discount the bottom fuel sensor

Is it same thing as fuel vapor sensor connector? Mine is located by the fuel cap on the hose.

I have a 2017 ram 1500 that is throwing that code would it be a good idea to get one from the dealership or order a aftermarket one

i need help with the wiring diagram how to wire to the new plug is there a link i can goto thanks ..

My trucks under warranty and wondering if when the warranty this issue they will give me the new connector?

Can you recommend the part for a 2013 ram 1500 5.7 Hemi?

Telling us which wire goes where would have been very helpful.

I just replaced my sensor with one for $33. Napa wanted $129 and I said hell no. 10 minute job and my code cleared right after I started the truck again.

Is this new part you updated in the bio still running well? I bought the fuel pressure sensor from Oreilly’s and am getting the P018D now. I’m not sure I’ll be capable of wiring the new connector and just got quoted $890 to fix it.

Dealership is supposed to give wiring directions with this wiring kit. Make sure to get it.

Would this work for 2016 v6

Is there a way you can tell me what wire goes where? I’m having trouble figuring that part out.

Great video, i'm stuck with the same issue. Where did you get the new 3-pin connector? Was there suppose to be a new wire kit included with the part?

So I had the P018C code. I replaced the sensor with the new one and am pretty sure I got the wires right. I did have to swap two pins and had a very difficult time getting the pins back in. It's as if the barb on the pins deformed a plastic tab inside the connector. I cleared the codes but now I have a confirmed P018B and permanent P018B, P018C, and P1DD2 codes. I haven't been able to find much about the P018B and P1DD2 codes. Do I have a defective sensor? Pins not in the right positions? Pins not making good connections? These only showed up on my first startup after replacing the sensor and wiring.

How do I know which wires go where? Is there a way to get ahold of you and pay for instructions

Great video bud. It would have taken me a LOOOOONG time to figure this out. The other problem I have is I cant get any parts? I have an auto wrecker looking into this now.

Where did you order the new connector from?

Can you splice terminal connectors on instead of just splicing wires together?

I had p081c prior to wiring and now have p081d First question Is my truck gonna blow up Second question how do I mend this

Tienes el número d e parte del repuesto? Saludos desde Chile!!

Thanks, so you don't use all the wire in the kit? I just picked mine up sensor was $80.58 the wires and only one clip and heat srink was $66.48 what a joke of a kit gezzzz thank again!

Its not the same as my ram 😢

Hey Sir! We sincerely look for a collaboration with you! Are you interested in trying our Ram seat covers?😉

On a new pigtail the pins are swapped around...called to dealer to ask diagram but response was long wayting time on phone with no one on other side of phone..... If you have that diagram please send me...

Changed wiring an fps now I'm getting p018d

You don’t get special information for being in the automotive engineering field. I work at a dealership and would charge you double lol. In all seriousness though you need to know a tech at the dealership. Also most manufacturers make us promise not to share proprietary information from their online systems. Doesn’t make sense because aftermarket obviously gets them for programs like Alldata.

for everyone else that didnt understand his wiring.. heres a FAR better explanation.. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10180202-9999.pdf

Thank you!
