Can you get yours to read the tpms? Mine keeps telling me ecu did not receive any input please check again. But it reads everything just will not allow me to change anything.

I'm assuming that you have the security bypass cable. Did you only change things in the bcm?

You will need it to make changes to your truck. Contact @DeereGuy, he makes them, they cost $50.

Usually the next year model's start being sold mid year of the prior year. So 2018's start selling mid 2017 unless there is a body style change then it's pushed back.

Well sounds like I need to get this cable for sure then is it the same unlock cable you use to delete a diesel?

I do have the Cable. Changed the BCM settings to HID's. Previously TPMS Lowered and DRL's Activated. Set all back to stock.

Where did you get the unlock cable and is it the same one we use to tune a diesel truck?

I'm at a loss at this point. Nothing you've said you changed should have messed anything up. Maybe try swapping the heads and tails back to your stock one's. and clear any faults and try the rf hub reset again.

I would suggest that once everything is back to normal add the heads make sure they work, then add the tails. I wouldn't worry about changing those in alphaobd. If you were adding them without the canbus adapters then you'd have to. Then do either drl's or tpms. Some trucks are really temperamental when it comes to changes. So you may have to take baby steps and let your truck get used to the changes before adding more. This will also allow you to easily address what causes any issues

From Deer Guy as previously posted. It's not actually an unlock cable it's a security bypass cable for the 2018 Rams. You cannot make changes to the 2018 Rams without it.

To start with the simple things:

Did you let the truck sleep after turning the settings off?

How are you trying to clear the code? Alpha will only clear codes from the module you are presently connected to, unlike a scan tool which can clear codes in all modules with one command.


These are the settings for turning it off, can you double check all of these?

Vehicle Configuration 1: Auto Highbeam
Select “no”
LIN & Misc: Smart Beam Present (AHBM)
Select “no"
2014 CBC I/O & Features: Auto High Beam Module Location
Select “None"
Customer Service Menus: Auto High Beam CSM
Select “no”
Vehicle Configuration 3: Interior EC Mirror Present
Select“no”

Note on the last one, if you have an auto-dim rear view mirror, don't turn this one off.


I don't think this is probable, but the code isn't listed as a "Permanent" code, is it? Those only turn off with time once the computer decides they are fixed, same as some emissions and can-bus codes.

I am going to check that out.. i think it may be that LIN & Misc: Smart Beam Present (AHBM) that I missed. I've let it sleep for a while and it still hasn't changed back to single HVAC

 

[Iflyabeech]

No, there is not. It's considered a safety feature of the system.

Makes sense...Thanks...
