My 2013 Ram 1500 has the dreaded electronic throttle control fault with transmission in limp mode/4th gear, reverse, neutral, park only, also has a trans ‘a’ solenoid fault that didn’t appear until the throttle fault happened. I bought an accelerator pedal and throttle body by recommendations of stuff I found on the forums. After disconnecting the battery and replacing pedal and throttle body, now my truck cranks but won’t start. It also shows service electronic braking system and 4wd temporarily not available. I’m guessing truck will need to go to stealership for throttle relearn?

After installing the throttle body did you do the relearn with ignition key?
I forget the actual sequence,(try googling it)

I did try that relearn but I'll do it one more time. When I tried it last time it started flashing the lightning bolt icon and electronic throttle control fault. Hope this comes around or it's bye bye ram.

Make sure tb connector is fully clipped in/engaged?
Pull both battery cables off battery and connect wires together for 30 minutes?

Well truck is back from hospital, just in time to be traded off I think,lol. It took a TB and a new pcm controller, along with cleaning the pcm connector terminals. May be going for a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn.
