I have a 2003 Ran 1500 with a gas guzzling 4.7L. When starting the vehicle I inadvertently took my hand off of the key at the very instant that the engine was igniting. The engine did not start and now will not start. The yellow “check engine†light came on. The codes were P0685 (Auto Shutdown Relay Control Circuit) and P0688 (Auto Shutdown Relay Sensor Circuit Low). I checked all of the relays and ran a continuity test on the control circuit line, but could not find anything wrong. After resetting the codes with my Maxi-Scan (MS509) code reader I was unsuccessful when trying to start the engine, but this time, the yellow “check engine†light indicated code P0129 (barometric pressure low). I tested the MAP sensor, but it too checked out to be good. After resetting the yellow “check engine†light again the vehicle still will not start. The yellow “check engine†light came back on but it is not indicating any code. I’ve been told by another backyard auto enthusiast that I may need to have the computer reprogrammed. I want to get your expert advice before I have to remortgage the farm to pay the Dealer’s exorbitant hourly rates.
