I have a 2016 RAM REBEL, I have the ABS light, Traction Control light and the BRAKE light all on. I had a bad ABS sensor so I replaced all the sensors and it is still showing the lights. I have not taken it to a dealer but is this indicative of a bad module? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Without running codes you can't know for sure, but yes, those are the same symptoms I had on my 2016 Sport before I replaced the module

Has anyone had they're truck stall out while at a light with a bad sensor code ? Same lights on dash ABS, traction control and brake light.

Mine doesn't stall, but the lights come on when cold or first started. I can go somewhere, and after restarting the lights do not come on.

I was parked at Tractor Supply on a steeply-slanted area of the parking lot.
When I got back into the truck and started it in a hurry…backed up (down actually)…and left the pkg’ lot… the “Check ABS” and the Traction INOP lites were on.
Oh-Oh….I thought.

When I got to the next traffic light I had to wait for a “green”….so I shut the truck down, and re-started it. No warning lights appeared after that start.

No problems the rest of the way home (20 miles).

Strange gremlins we be having. I wouldn't mind if it was a flat tire. I can see a flat tire. I can change a flat tire. These on again, off again light shows are annoying. Really wondering how I feel once winter hits and I do not have 4WD....

So it has been determined that it is the ABS control module which I have come to find out is a pretty common problem with 4th gen RAM trucks. Code C2200-49 Internal electrical short/malfunction. I am trying to source getting a module but it is hard to find and they are very expensive. Does anyone have a line on where I can get one reasonably priced? I do not want to spend $1000 for it but I will if I absolutely have to. I will even take one from a junked truck I now have the scanner to reprogram a used one.

Just incase anyone is having the same issue. I did find a used module on EBAY, installed it and ran the AlfaOBD scanning tool and it worked. I did have to apply the VIN which the app did for me and now I have no codes or stored messages. Unfortunately it was expensive $750 for a used module but it worked and my truck is back on the road and I could not be happier.
