Service Procedure
EPS Gear Removal
- Position the vehicle on a suitable lift.
- Place the ignition in the OFF position.
- Using a steering wheel holder, lock the steering wheel at the 12 o’clock center position to keep it from rotating. This keeps the clockspring in the proper orientation (Figure 1).
- Open the hood.
- Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) wire harness connector (Figure 2).
- Remove the M8 negative battery cable eyelet nut (Figure 2).
- Remove the negative battery cable eyelet and isolate the negative battery cable away from the IBS negative cable terminal (Figure 2).
- Loosen the M6 battery cable clamp with IBS captive nut (Figure 2).
NOTE: Do not remove the M6 captive nut, doing so may cause the M6 stud on the battery cable clamp with IBS to break (Figure 2).
- Partially raise the vehicle on an appropriate hoist.
- For 4×2 vehicles, loosen the left outer tie rod end jam nut (Figure 3).
- Remove and DISCARD the right and left side outer tie rod nuts (Figure 3).
- Using Special Tool 9360 or equivalent, separate both outer tie rod ends from the steering knuckle arms.
- For 4×2 vehicles, remove and discard the left outer tie rod end.
NOTE: Removing the left tie rod end will give clearance required to remove the EPS gear from the vehicle.
- Raise the vehicle completely on the hoist.
- If Equipped, remove the front skid plate.
- Remove and DISCARD the steering column intermediate shaft lower pinch bolt (Figure 4).
- Separate the steering column intermediate shaft from the EPS gear shaft.
- Disconnect the two electrical connectors located at Electric Power Steering (EPS) gear (Figure 5).
- Remove and save the two EPS gear mounting bolts (Figure 6).
- For 4×2 vehicles, turn the EPS gear steering shaft to the full right turn position.
NOTE: Turning the EPS gear to the full right turn position will give clearance required to remove the EPS gear from the vehicle.
- Remove the EPS gear then render it unusable and discard.
NOTE: No other vehicle components need to be removed to gain clearance for EPS gear removal.
EPS Gear Installation
- For 4×2 vehicles, if the tie rod ends are installed on new EPS gear, remove and save the left tie rod end from the new EPS gear.
- For 4×2 vehicles, turn the new EPS gear steering shaft to the full right turn position.
- Position the new EPS gear to the front crossmember.
- Install the two EPS gear mounting bolts and tighten them to 180 N·m + 90° turn (133 ft. lbs. + 90° turn) (Figure 6).
- Connect the two electrical connectors at EPS gear (Figure 5).
- For 4×2 vehicles, center the steering gear by turning the EPS gear steering shaft from lock-to-lock, counting the turns. Then turn the steering shaft half the turns that are required to go lock-to-lock.
- Slide the intermediate shaft onto the EPS gear shaft and install a NEW intermediate shaft pinch bolt. Tighten the pinch bolt to 55 N·m (41 ft. lbs.) (Figure 4).
- Install the new tie rod ends to the new EPS gear if not already installed.
- Clean and dry the tie rod end studs and the tapers in the steering knuckle arms. Then install the tie rod ends into the steering knuckles.
- Install NEW tie rod end to knuckle nuts. Tighten the nuts to 30 N·m + 90° turn (22 ft. lbs. + 90° turn) (Figure 5).
- If Equipped, remove the front skid plate. Tighten the bolts to 18 N·m (13 ft. lbs.).
- Partially lower the vehicle from the hoist.
- Install the front tires and wheels. Tighten the lug nuts to:
- Coned Nut 176 N·m (130 ft. lbs.).
- Flanged Nut 190 N·m (140 ft. lbs.).
- Lower the vehicle from the hoist.
- Loosen the M6 battery cable clamp with IBS captive nut (Figure 2).
NOTE: Do not remove the M6 captive nut, doing so may cause the M6 stud on the battery cable clamp with IBS to break (Figure 2).
- Install the negative battery cable eyelet on the IBS M8 stud (Figure 2).
- Connect the IBS wire harness connector. Make sure there is no stress on the wires (Figure 2).
- Install and tightening the M8 negative battery cable eyelet nut to 16 N·m (12 ft. lbs.) (Figure 2).
NOTE: The M8 negative battery cable eyelet nut has a higher torque than the M6 battery cable clamp with IBS nut and can break the IBS free if the M6 nut is tightened first.
NOTE: Avoid rotating the IBS during tightening of the M8 nut in order to avoid contact between the wire harness connector receptacle and the battery.
- Tighten the M6 battery cable clamp with IBS nut to 6 N·m (53 in. lbs.) (Figure 2).
- Install a battery charger. Verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.
NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.
- Connect the wiTECH micro pod II to the vehicle data link connector.
- Place the ignition in the “RUN” position.
- Open the wiTECH 2.0 website.
- Enter your “User id” and “Password” and your “Dealer Code”, then select “Sign In” at the bottom of the screen. Click “Accept”.

- Remove the battery charger from the vehicle and close the hood.
- Place the truck on an alignment rack and set the toe alignment per specifications published in DealerConnect Service Library. Tighten the tie rod end jam nuts to 90 N·m (66 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Follow the alignment rack manufacturer’s instructions to complete the alignment.

This reimbursement is limited to the number of days from the date of the stop sale to the date that the remedy was made available.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Electric Power Steering Gear
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA US has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2019 Model Year (DS) Ram 1500 Pickup] vehicles.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The Electric Power Steering (EPS) gear on your vehicle [1] may have contamination which could cause a short circuit. A short in the control circuit components may result in an intermittent loss of power steering assist which may cause an inconsistent steering effort, especially during lower speed maneuvers. Inconsistent steering effort can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the EPS gear assembly. The estimated repair time is 1½ hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
