    I have a 2014 Ram 2500, cummins diesel, 423,000 miles.

    Couple days ago the cruise started shutting off, today the tracktion icon comes on and the chime sounds. Do I hace computor issues coming or just sensors?

    Thank you.

    Most likely not a computer issue. Would need more information though. Time to see someone you trust, or someone you have to trust. Interesting that the cruise was the first sign.

    Cruise is the first thing that is disabled when an engine or traction control issue presents itself.
    It can be, a speed sensor in the trans, transfer case, wheel bearing or rear differential.
    From there something in the ABS has set a code, again, speed sensor, low brake fluid if equipped with a level sensor.
    A wire that has corrosion or has broken in two for whatever reason will cause this also.
    Engine codes, misfire from cold startup in a diesel, low rail pressure, restricted fuel filter, etc.
    So yes, I am shooting from the hip with common issues that can only be found using a scanner/code reader.

    If ya happen to be in my area, give me a shout.
