Today I show you how to repair the PCM in my brother in law David's new 1st gen cummins... for the second time! It is a fairly straight forward fix and just requires the replacement of three capacitors on the circuit board. I would recommend only removing the potting around the three capacitors, replacing them, and then filling the voids with new silicone. Hopefully this saves you a bit of money and pain chasing down why your truck isn't charging!
I OFFER A CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT SERVICE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED SEND ME AN E-MAIL.
Stay tuned for more videos!
Tyler,

I had my truck worked on at the shop I had a shop off my way he’s over by Atlantic PA and they messed up my charging system and things like that did all kind of stuff screwed my truck up I find out the guy don’t like first Jen Dodge‘s he should just told me that from the beginning anyhow they had to which is being fair to him he had to modify my throttle linkage bracket because where the cables go in because one of the Hamilton cams had didn’t have a provision for a fuel filter so he had to put a filter from the second GEN on there which is cool I appreciate that but they must’ve re-welded that thing on the truck without disconnecting the battery because that’s why am I’m guessing that’s why my charging system ain’t working right I’m overcharging and things like that you know he really screwed me up bad but I learned something you were talking about that heatsink was what controls how much it charges anyway thanks for the information guy this is six in a row jim From Kennerdell Pennsylvania

Low fuel light. I never noticed one. Most fuel I’ve put in is 29 gallons. Oops 😹

@OvensGarage 2 года назад

Haha, yeah his fuel gauge is malfunctioning. We had dropped the tank the day before and I don't think we plugged the sensor back in correctly. Way to test it is probably just unplug the sensor at the tank.

Good fix! Have you run into the crazy speedometer issue? Mine will read random mph all over the place it always counts the mileage right though regardless of what the needle does.

@OvensGarage 2 года назад

Yeah I had that issue previously on my red truck. The speedo issue ended up being a bad VSS down at my transfer case.

@matthewwilliams2328 2 года назад

Started my journey on my pcm. The capacitor top left was burnt and fell out when I removed the jelly. I hope that's all that's wrong with mine. The original was fried by lightning. I'm working on my used second hand pcm now

@Halffast719 Год назад

Question time 🙋. So I replaced capacitors in the ecm Panasonic and I’m very good with soldering so everything is good. Plug ecm in and truck will go 10 miles then the A/C, Tach and Voltage drops. So I pulled it back out and soldered the jumper wire like you did and same thing. Drive it and everything is working about 10 miles down the road everything shuts off again. I checked all the pins and even flared them open to make sure they’re contacting. What do you think? It’s my son’s daily driver.

@OvensGarage Год назад

That's interesting. I'm not sure what that could be. If you have a good pcm it might be worth trying to swap it. Sorry the capacitor replacement didn't fix it!

@Halffast719 Год назад

@@OvensGarage so it turns out my multimeter was trash so I got a new one and checked ohms on everything and the crank sensor was the culprit. Thanks for responding. Everything is good for now anyway.

@BabyJesus440 2 года назад

None of my lights work on the info center, truck starts and everything seems to work except the grid heaters. You think this fix will solve that issue? Also speedo doesn't work and headlights have a light flicker to them

@OvensGarage 2 года назад

If the grid heaters don't cycle on in the cold and after you start the truck it doesn't start charging, I would suspect PCM issues. Speedo doesn't go through PCM, that's likely a VSS issue, and headlights dim when the grid heaters cycle.

Long time viewer/subscriber but the first time making a comment on here. Thank you so much for all you do for the first gen community. Your videos have saved my butt a couple of times, but this one did for sure I have a black, 93 le 4 x 4 auto truck and a 93 red and white le four-wheel-drive, five speed truck that you’ve single-handedly kept on the road lol 👍

@PebbleHill-tw4dx 2 года назад

Would this be a similar process for a second gen? My tach reads 0, a/c doesn’t work, constant gear hunting, all dash lights flicker on and off and the charging system works occasionally. I’ve replaced ess twice, checked, double and tripled checked all wiring and grounds and believe I have narrowed it down to the pcm

@ttenrabyrral1 Год назад

I hope you may be able to answer a question about the 92 cummins speedometer. Does the PCM (engine control module) provide a signal to the speedometer or should the speedometer work independently from the PCM? My speedometer is not working and the auto transmission will not shift into overdrive. The VSS tests good and I've replaced it with another known good VSS, I've checked continuity between the VSS and the PCM and it's all good. Thanks

@OvensGarage Год назад

Hi Larry from my experience and looking at the FSM the speedo operates independently from the pcm. I believe it still uses a signal from the vss to determine when the truck is allowed to go in and out of overdrive though based on speed. The other thing to consider is the throttle position sensor and it's correct adjustment. If it's out of adjustment (on the top of the ve pump throttle) it can also prevent the truck from shifting into overdrive. Decent garage has a good video on how to check and adjust the tps.

@ttenrabyrral1 Год назад

@@OvensGarage Thank You Kindly for the rapid reply and thanks for the TPS adjustment tip. I will check and adjust that today. I had come to the same conclusion about the speedometer operating independently based on the wiring schematics I just wondered if you may be able to verify. My 1989 is so simple I'm old school been wrenching for fifty years and I greatly admire the automotive engineers of old who were somehow able to make things go without a computer!

Great job really nice work. My second gen pcm a 95 with the single connector in the pcm a few years ago did all kinds of weird stuff . Finally i gave up and got a rebuild pcm from mopar . Fixed everything except the dropping out of cruise . That was the brake switch. ..Thanks for the video

@idaholineman5788 Год назад

Badass video. I need to get into mine and attempt to fix it properly. I’ve bypassed my computer mostly..OD ground switch, grid heaters on a momentary switch. But it would be nice to have it run though it’s warmup cycle in the winter time instead of me having to keep hitting the momentary switch.

Hi Tyler. I think this is your best technique for replacing the caps so far !! So much easier!! My '93 has 193k miles. No ecu issues that you describe so far. After I weld up the lower door hinge damage, I think replacing the caps on the ecu is good preventive maintenance.

@OvensGarage 2 года назад

It wouldn't hurt to do them as preventative maintenance! They are bound to start going bad eventually. Maybe it's a colder climate issue..but good to do either way.

@idontuploadjustwatch 2 года назад

Got a question for you. I’ve been chasing cruise control problems in my 93 5 speed. So far I’ve replaced the clockspring, cruise servo, and tested vacuum. My odometer, ac(bad clutch), dash/info lights, grid heater, speedo,charging , and tach all work. I was looking into doing a quick pcm/ harness continuity test next to narrow this down. But for the life of me cannot get cruise control to work, would one of these capacitors come into play with that or not? Any tips would be much appreciated

@OvensGarage 2 года назад

I don't suspect that the PCM would be the problem causing your issue. I would take a look at the wiring diagrams for the cruise control to start so you can rule things out. I have not had any issues with cruise control on my red truck so I can't really give too much advice. One thing that came to mind though and not sure how you could test it, but when you depress your brake pedal the cruise control disengages. If there's a way to jump that switch (probably the brake pedal switch), I'd try and rule that out too. Otherwise, maybe the clutch neutral safety switch has something to do with it would be my next guess. I doubt something is wrong with the cruise itself, it's probably just something from preventing it engaging and staying engaged.

@idontuploadjustwatch 2 года назад

@@OvensGarage I’ll check into the clutch safety as I’ve already tested the brake switch. I would imagine some issues with my repinning job on the new servo…. But I’d have to rack my brain with some wiring diagrams on the clutch safety as it works properly as far as I know…
