The ABS light keeps coming on/off when I’m driving saying service the abs module or the equipment.. I did some research about it alot people complain about this problem.
The abs control module and HCU are faulty . No parts have been available for a fix. I have now been driving a truck in the north with no ABS , 4 wheel drive, cruise control or traction control. This truck is a hazard to everyone on the road but with no parts it’s hard to fix it. I only have one vehicle. Tons of people have the same issue and nothing is being done. Ram won’t do anything, stallantis wont do anything. It’s just crazy
The service electronic brake light and traction control light keeps illuminating periodically while driving. The code was read and ELECTRICAL FAILURE C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL was received. This is the second time this occurred and the first one was replaced under warranty.
For the last 3 years the ABS and traction control warning lights come on and off intermittently. This occures every time the truck is driven. I have replaced the ABS control module and the Hydraulic pump unit with new OEM parts and this issue keeps coming back. Driving and towing heavy loads this truck is extremely dangerous (without a functioning ABS system). A recall is urgently needed!!!
Getting the Service Electronic Brake System, Traction Control, and Anti-lock Brake System. First noticed these alarms a couple years ago but they cleared by themselves. Sometime this 2024 Spring, around 70k miles these alarms started again. This time the alarms are nuisance going on and off multiple time a minute all by itself. Cruise control won’t work when alarms are on. When I checked forums, seems like there is a problem with these modules. The supply of the parts is a problem also. I ordered the parts from Mopar and after I paid for the parts and received an order number. The next day Mopar cancelled my order tell me to go to the dealer. Seems like Mopar is monopolizing these parts.
2018 Dodge 2500 w 75K miles. "Service ABS" and "Service Electronic Braking System" warning lights coming on intermittently for appx last 1.5K miles. When this happens, it disengages the cruise control when set, or keeps it from being engaged when unset . Noted yesterday that Braking performance is now lessened- slightly increased stopping distance noted when pulling an appx 3K lb trailer (no trailer brakes), which i regularly tow. Brake fluid levels good, brake shoes/calipers/rotors in very good shape.
ABS module failure
2018 Ram 2500 with 6.7L Cummins Diesel The ABS warning light and traction control warning lights come on and go off constantly along with a message to check the braking system. The problem is intermittent. It might happen once in a trip or it might have 50 times in a trip, but it always happens. Losing traction control and ABS braking puts me and my passengers in a severe risk of injury as the vehicle will not be able to be maneuvered or stopped in an emergency situation or during dangerous road conditions. A search of online forums has revealed hundreds of people reporting the same issues with their vehicle.
The contact owns a 2018 Ram 2500. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving approximately 60 MPH with the cruise control feature activated, the ABS and traction control warning lights started flashing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,327.
Electronic braking system alarm and antilock brake system alarms keep coming on and off. Based on research HCU is faulty.
17427 miles 68143491aa control anti-lock brake system replaced 68347098ab module anti-lock brake system replaced code found c0021-01 replacement of the hcu and module. 12/30/2019 At 80,460 mi same code and information appeared again. 12/23/2022 No ABS brakes /no speed control continues currently 111,400 miles an indicator lights stay on.
ABS and traction control lights came on. Brought to my mechanic and they spoke with Dodge who started they put a freeze on selling the parts and currently have no fix.
ABS Traction Control Failure. Dash lights come on ABS and Traction Control do not work after that. This started as an intermittent issue and now the lights are on all the time and there is no longer any ABS or Traction Control on the truck which I feel is a major safety issue for this truck especially when pulling a loaded trailer.
Intermittent failure of ABS system. Causing cruise control to suddenly shut off at highway speeds as well as having a non-functioning ABS system.
Like most other owners I too have the annoying ABS failure and traction control lights dinging on and off constantly. So no traction control or ABS. You also lose cruise control We are paying for a recall as the dealers want $2000 to $2500
On 8/10/2024 at 3.10 PM while traveling 68 mph on an interstate, the vehicle started displaying Service Electronic Brake System and Antilock Brake Failure warnings. This also shut off the cruise control system, causing a sudden and unexpected loss of forward momentum. The warnings would reset and then come on randomly while travelling.
ABS and Electronic braking system error. Traction control not working due to system malfunction.
The ABS system module has failed leaving me with a large truck and no anti-lock brakes or stability control. This is a known issue on my truck (I found out on line) putting people in danger. The parts are back-ordered and they want $2300 to fix it. My truck has <60K miles on it. The warning lights are on and the dealer told me to just "pump my brakes" if the lock up - like "in the old days before abs." Please make them issue and recall. This is very unsafe.
Got an ABS fault for a corrupt hydraulic brake unit. So I replaced the unit at the cost of $200.. once replaced I still had an ABS light, traction control light, Brake light. Reading the codes it would tell me that both rear wheel speed sensors failed to compare. Ultimately I got a check engine light for wheel speed sensor 1 failure. So when I rest the code it clears the lights and I lose the speedometer for 25 plus miles. Also renders the 4x4 feature useless on the truck. I took it to the dealership on 8/8/2024 and they attempted to do an update to the ABS module. After the update I lost the speedometer again. I was told that the ABS module will need replaced at the cost of $600 plus labor and program time.
The electronic braking system/abs light/traction control light constantly comes on and off every few seconds when driving. Having intermittent loss of anti lock braking system is a hazard.
The contact owns a 2018 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with HECU unit and ABS module failures. The contact was informed that the HECU unit and the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the parts to repair the vehicle were on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The ABS module and HCU are failing on these trucks. They’re causing the brakes to lock up, and the traction control system to automatically turn off, disables cruise control, and there are thousands of reports of this all over the internet.
The ABS and Electronic braking system has failed in this vehicle. While driving the vehicle, the ABS light will cycle on and off consistently. When the light is activated, the cruise control also becomes ineffective. It has been determined to be the ABS Module failing. This truck only has 100,000 miles on it. When I contacted multiple dealerships, they informed me that they cannot order a replacement part as they do not exist from the manufacture anymore. There are no aftermarket options. After contacting Fiat Chrysler Association (FCA) they informed me the parts were pulled from dealerships and they are under engineering review for replacements with no timeline available. This is a 10,000 lbs vehicle with a 16,000lb tow rating. It is unacceptable for this to continue failing on a truck that when combined with a trailer can be totaling 26,000lbs. If this system fails while towing, the result will be deadly to anyone involved. I've spoken with hundreds of others with this same failure on the same truck. It is unacceptable that we cannot drive our trucks safely, we cannot fix them because parts don't exist, and we cannot sell them because they are undriveable and unfixable.
Driving in normal conditions .. even leaving my driveway ABS light comes on and traction control light comes on. and flashes randomly. Sometimes in doesn't come on for a bit but then will flicker on and off.
The ABS light and stabilizer light stay on along with the chime. It turns the cruise control off. The brake module/ABS/Hydraulic control unit is out and no parts and not going to be made per Ram dealers. This is a known issue with nothing done
ABS braking Module and hydraulic control unit on this vehicle has been replaced under warrenty twice (in 2020 & 2022), vehicle now has 59K miles now and ABS has failed again, dash warnings are constant and cannot be turned off. Failed while driving from MO to FL last weekend
ABS light and traction control lights are on and off with the service light on dash on and off.When the abs light and traction light comes on it also disables the cruse control to the off position. Performance is totally reduced ! Vehicle shows active code C0020 for ABS pump motor control general electric failure..Diagnostic issued said to replace the hydraulic control unit. The problem was inspected by the Ram dealer and was reproduced by the tech and is currently being repaired by the Ram dealer. We were notified the complete unit was not available and only the possibility of the control motor was available at this time at a cost of $1400 give or take. When the cruise control kicks out in traffic you go from the posted speed limit to 0 if not caught immediately. Mileage 53,500
Intermittent ABS brake error code C0020 - "Recirculation pump general electrical failure". This error occurs then clears within seconds while normal driving. No special weather conditions, road conditions or temperatures noted. May drive 5 miles, 50 miles or 500 miles before error occurs again. Only 6150 miles on vehicle. Repair parts scarce or not available.
ABS and Traction control lights illuminated at 38000 miles. Cruise control no longer functions either. Diagnostic scan indicates code C0020-01.
