    Exhaust Break Not Engaging?

    Alright ya'll on my '14 3500 the exhaust break is not wanting to activate like it should in the "full exhaust break" mode.

    I tried the automatic mode as well and nothing.

    It will only engage in tow/haul.

    The dealer said they need to plug in and update the system however it being the dealer they want an arm and leg to do it.

    Has anyone else had this issue and if so did you find a way around the dealer and a way to fix it yourself.

    Thanks!

    Strange that it’s only working in tow-haul mode. If it wasn’t working at all I would recommend inspecting and cleaning the soot from the exhaust pressure sensor and tube. Probably a good idea to check that anyway. Are you seeing any trouble codes?

    x2, are you seeing any codes or dash messages? What does the truck do when you try to turn the EB on? Sounds to me that it is a software issue.

    To AK Bob and CDF I'm not getting any codes in dash or any lights. When I turn on the EB nothing changes. It reads in the dash like it is supposed to that it's on, just does not engage.

    $150 for the update but they said they were unsure if that would fix it. It was just the first stepping stone.

    I hate to say this, but unless anyone else has any ideas I would get the update and if it still doesn’t work see what suggestions they may have.

    Please keep us posted.

    I would pay it if it were my truck because this sounds like a software issue.

    **Update** got my 5” FLO~PRO turbo back on and my MM3 from DRD installed and the exhaust break works perfect now.

    Didn’t go to the dealer to get the update.

    The MM3 fixed whatever the issue was.
