well guys I have a 98 with the small v-8 it is 4x4 and it came on while just running at a stop light. the truck only has 43,000 on it. does anyone have any idea what it may be?

Hey barry, check your gas cap. If it's loose or off the check engine light will come on.

Have '99 V-6 2WD Dakota.

Descriptions of Codes 15 and P0500 appear to be identical; under what conditions are the two different codes displayed?

My speedometer appears to be operating normally, but ECL is on and code 500 is obtained. What is the diagnosis?

Thanks, Bill

if everything is working ok, i'd reset the pcm and see if the code comes back. possibly speed/abs sensor in rear diff or speed sensor in tranny.
