Chronological view of owner reports
While driving and sometimes sitting still, the Service Antilock Brake System warning will flash on and off rapidly. Then go off. When this happens cruse control stops working. Antilock brake functions no longer work. And traction control no longer works. I found this out while driving on snow and ice covered roads recently. I was stopping at an intersection, and the ABS system started to work then turned off and my tires locked up, causing me to slide into the intersection. Fortunately no one else was at the intersection. Online forums show a great number of low mileage Ram trucks like mine with this issue. Seems to be a failure of the motors on the hydraulic control unit.
Abs and tc lights come on and ding randomly, freedom service told me it’s a hydraulic pump and causes a safety issue it also knocks cruise control off when it happens. The dealership said they have changed many so I am sure ram is aware of this issue.
Constant warning to service electronic braking system kicks out cruise control. According to ram this is a known problem with related module
