Hey guys, as the title states I'm hoping someone out there can provide some information on the following issue I've been having. There's a few threads on people having issues with remote starting in the cold and I'm among them. When this first started happening I was checking my battery voltage and over the course of a few days the voltages were all over the place so I went with the assumption that my battery was bad. Well, I've since replaced the stock battery with an Odyssey 94R and the very next day the same thing happened, truck failed to start remotely but can start manually just fine. I checked with a clamp meter after letting the truck sit and I was measuring 1.5-1.6 amps. I started pulling fuses one at a time until I got to F38. Upon pulling this fuse my amps dropped to 20mA. I put the fuse back in and the current never changed. That was just yesterday.
According to the manual F38 fuse is a 10A fuse for the DTCM / Active CL TEMP VLV. So my first question is does anyone know where the DTCM module is located? Next question does anyone know what this valve is referring to (a solenoid perhaps) and why it might be causing a parasitic battery drain. Any info would be greatly appreciated before I make my almost inevitable trip to the dealership.
