Q: What causes the mileage area to blink then say no bus?
Truck won't start only milage blinks then says no bus
My car has an automatic transmission.
Hi there. The No Bus message is actually a pretty major issue that is common with late 1990’s and early 2000’s Dodge vehicles. It’s actually telling you that there is a communication error to the ECU, or the Engine Control Unit / also referred to as an ECM. This problem is typically only resolved by having Dodge specialist or the dealership reprogram or replace the ECU. Unfortunately, it’s not a service that our mobile mechanics can offer.
