Has anyone figured out the ABS, Traction and 4 wheel dr issues yet? It is not the speed sensors or wheel bearings. Could it be the ABS module?
This issue is driving me crazy, and has been going on for quite some time. every mechanic just says its a rear speed sensor, but it is not.

You need to get the codes retrieved, otherwise you’re just guessing.

I got the codes read the other day, and all that comes up is rear abs/speed sensor
but it is more than that for sure.
Does a dodge dealer have better readers?

My 2018 Ram 3500 FWD DRW G56 had the ABS and Traction Control lights going crazy. It ended up being the cheap brake pads put on the front by the mom & pop dealership I purchased it from. They were sticking to rotors and the caliper bolts. Sending constant lockup brake signals to the ABS sensor and the other tires were sending slipping signals to the traction control actuator. Burned them both out. Had to replace brakes, calipers, both actuators, and fluid. Rotors were still good. ****** at the dealership but what do you expect…

I’m having the same issue with my 2021 3500 DWR. Same day I took it off the lot, ABS, trailer brake faults came ON. Waiting for an appointment slot at the dealer. The truck is used with 57k miles and previous owner had a fifth wheel on it. The ABS is intermittent. Another issue is a check Engine light that keeps coming on and off. This is my first diesel truck so don’t know if this is normal but I feel a slight vibration on the steering wheel and the brake peddle at idle. I’m gonna have them diagnose that at the dealer.
