Safety Precautions
Here are some very important safety precautions when testing the wires coming
out of the PCM connectors.
1. If one or any of the wires on your Dodge Ram DO NOT match the color
stated in the pin out charts, then you should not use the pin out charts in
this article. Why? Because this is the clearest indication that these ARE NOT
the connector pin out charts for your particular vehicle.
2. Never probe the front of the connector.
o You should use a wire piercing probe and probe the wire a few
inches away from the connector.
 To see what this tool looks like: Wire Piercing Probe.
o You should use a back probe.
3. You should never disconnect any of the PCM connectors without first
disconnecting the battery negative (-) terminal.
