I have a 2015 Challenger Hellcat thats a garage queen with only 2,900 miles. I keep Sta-bil treated 100% pure no ethanol gas in the car and connected to a battery tender. I normally dive the car once every 3 weeks but this time because of illness that car sat about 6 - 8 weeks. I have never had an issue with this car but it would not start a few weeks back. I have noticed the last year or so after sitting 2-3 weeks I am required to hit the started 2-3 times when before it would fire right up but this time no fire at all!
After not starting thinking it had something to do with sitting 2 months I attempted to start it many, many times over the next seven day period and it would turn over fine but would never start. A few days later I pushed the car out of the garage thinking I may need to tow it to a dealer but it fired up fine! I was thinking did me sloshing the gas a bit when pushing the car do something to free the fuel pump? Strange or perhaps a coincidence but it started after simply pushing the car out of my drive way and I bet I had tried to start it 40+ times over a 7 day period.
I now do have those same codes y'all have U0109 and P025A. I let the car sit about a week again after starting and it started but I had to hit the starter a few times before it fired but it started on the 2nd or 3rd try. I drove the car about 20 miles with no issue and restarts fine when I returned from my ride.
Im way out of my pay grade with this so I welcome suggestions as I could replace a relay I guess myself. Im guessing its not a fuse as it will start but do you folks think it could be the fuel pump? I sure hope not as I'm way out of warranty on a 2015.
Question #1
Can someone suggest an inexpensive scanner that I can reset the check engine light and clear the codes? I'm selling the car soon so I don't want to put any more money than required in a scan tool or parts and service but I can't sell a 2,900 mile garage queen Hellcat with a check engine light on and those codes . With the fact that its starting now did the issue fix itself? I'm not planing on just clearing the codes and selling but I need to clear them and I guess see if the issue returns or replace that relay, clear the codes and see if the problem returns.
Question #2 With it now starting and running do I still have a problem? Will it strand me on the side of the road?
Question #3 Should I just go head and change the relay and if so do I get the part at the dealer or is aftermarket okay and any idea of pricing?
Question #4 wonder what the chance this is an expensive fuel pump and how do I verify? Should I let the dealer tell me? Whats would a fuel pump replacement at a dealer cost me?
My journey owning a first year Hellcat is coming to an end and I need to get this check engine light off and hopefully replace an inexpensive part and get her sold so I can move on to my new project.
I welcome any and all thoughts and suggestions.
