From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2012 Dodge 1500 with the 4.7L V8 come into the shop with a persistent, random misfire on cylinder 3 (P0303). The owner had already replaced the spark plug, ignition coil, and fuel injector, but the problem wouldn’t go away. He was frustrated and had spent hundreds on parts that didn’t fix the issue. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner and monitoring live data, we noticed the injector pulse width for cylinder 3 was erratic. All wiring checked out perfectly. This pointed directly to the ECM’s injector driver circuit. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck immediately idled smooth and the misfire was gone. It’s a classic case where the root cause was the computer itself, not the components it controls.
Diagnosing and Replacing Your 2012 Dodge 1500 ECM
