ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Abs light traction light and brake light so I have no Anti lock brakes working and Cruise control dose not work because of this issue dodge dealer sad it was a recall dodge manufacture says it is not so this is a safety issue
ABS MODULE failure. Computer chip on back order. Dangerous
The ABS Control Module (p/n: 68228991AD) failing and not able to locate any new replacement parts. The failed module results in loss of traction control, electronic slip protection, loss of cruise control, as well as issues with my 4wd, and most importantly no Anti-Lock brakes. Occasionally i will get a no start issue stating "CAN BUS FAIL" resulting from the ABS module. If I unplug the module and re-seat it, the can-bus issue goes away. Luckily it has not resulted in a crash, however I am scared it will as I drive 115 miles daily for work. I have reached out to ATE (the manufacturer) they were not able to assist in the issue. According to Dodge that particular ABS module has been in "engineering review/discontinued" since 2020. Which would make the truck have only been 6 years old at the time it happened. I have been searching for a replacement for almost 3.5 years now but they do not seem to exist.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS, traction control, and several other unknown warning lights illuminated. On a separate occasion, the transmission failed to shift out of park(P). The contact manually unlocked the automatic gearbox and shifted the transmission into neutral(N) before shifting out of park(P). The vehicle was taken to the dealer and DTC: C2200-49; was retrieved. The dealer determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.
ABS Module failures. ABS, Traction Control and Cruise Control are all inoperable due to this failure. At time of original complaint (10/11/2022) dealership informed us parts are on back order and approximately $600 USD. Replacement parts did not become available until recently and now have an MSRP of $1,970 USD.
ABS Module Failure - truck won't go out of park. Replacement module is impossible to find. Truck is inoperable because of this issue.
Subject: Safety Defect – 2015 Ram 1500 – ABS Module Failure, Part Discontinued, No Recall Vehicle: 2015 Ram 1500, 5.7L VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 65000 Date of failure: May 2022 I am writing to report a safety-related defect on my 2015 Ram 1500 and to formally request corrective action. Description of the problem: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module (Mopar part number 68228991AD) on my vehicle has failed. As a result, the ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems are completely inoperative, as indicated by persistent warning lights on the instrument cluster. This significantly compromises the vehicle's braking and stability performance, particularly in wet or emergency conditions, and renders the vehicle non-compliant with federal safety standards (FMVSS 135 – Anti-lock Braking Systems). Part unavailability: The required replacement module (68228991AD) or 68228991AE , is discontinued or in backorder for years and is currently in an "engineering hold" status at the factory. Dealerships are unable to order or procure the part. There is no estimated time of availability, no interim repair procedure, and no software workaround. The vehicle is non-operable and poses a heightened risk of loss of control during emergency braking. I have incurred [rental car / towing / transportation] costs of approximately $5000.00. Request: I request that this complaint be logged as a safety concern under the federal safety agency's jurisdiction. I request that Stellantis provide a replacement ABS module at no cost to the owner, or issue a formal service action / safety recall for this defect. I request reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred while the vehicle is in an unsafe condition. I request a written response with a resolution timeline within 30 days. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ABS control module “A” has failed internally. Vehicle went into limp mode and is inoperable due to this issue. I’ve eliminated other possibilities as to the cause and have narrowed it down to the ABS control module. ABS light, traction control, brake, electronic throttle control, and service shifter lights are all activated and activated at the time that the issue began.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning lights illuminated. Additionally, the cruise control feature was inoperable. The contact stated that the cruise control system failure had caused the ABS and ESC systems to fail. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the replacement parts were back-ordered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.
ABS module failure. Warning lights on dash- ABS lamp (code C2200), traction control lamp, service trailer brake system message, and red brake fault lamp illuminated. Does not go away after vehicle running. Reduced braking feel present. Will not pass state inspection for legal road use due to red brake lamp on status, no abs module replacements from dealer- national backorder with unknown shipping date currently.
Abs module goes out which shuts off abs, traction control, and cruise control, and you can’t get the part anywhere except for third party refurbished. In Pennsylvania I can’t get inspection when red warning brake light is on.
