Mechanics

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.

Must be low on sheep fluid.

Love reading your posts, you’ve seen a few things.

On my 08 and 15 Ram, I had very similar issues and both times it was an ABS sensor.

Amazing insight as usual.

First off… with only 423,xxx miles, obviously the Sheep has low miles to have an issue.. maybe more stickers ?

Seriously, its more than likely a wheel speed sensor.

Let me know Dutch. I can get you in here next week if you’d like.

Awesome, thank you.
See you then!

Had the same issue with my car ABS light and ECS light came on and cruise control wouldn’t work. For me it was the brake light switch on the footpedal maybe something to look into. From what I’ve read the disc that pushes the plunger on the switch maybe worn not allowing switch to make. Mine was intermittent disc was fine was the switch 20 bucks and five minutes good to go.
