All,
Please move this to the correct discussion board if needed.

I have an '09 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I recently started to get 3 yellow alarms on the dash while driving at interstate speeds.

I get the ABS, traction control and Service 4WD lights on with no change to the performance of the truck. the cruise control will shut off & not turn on until the alarms clear.

This has happened 3x in 2 weeks. Once I slow to side street speeds, the alarms clear on their own.

Does anyone have any ideas or have seen this before?

Thanks!

Replace your WIN module.

Would the same apply for a 2012?
I’ve been getting the same ABS, traction control, and service 4x4 warning lights intermittently on my 2012. I was under the impression that it was being caused by a bad/failing wheel speed sensor.

I'd be checking wheel speed sensors, any of the 4 going bad will pop all those lights. Ideally you need a Scantool to read the ABS module to see what code(s) it has

Yup...a faulty wheel speed sensor is the most likely candidate.

ABS uses wheel speed sensors to determine if one (or more) wheels is locked up or significantly slower.

Sensor data is also used by Traction control - which does the same thing...but during running/accelerating, as opposed to stopping.

4WD depends on all the wheel sensors as well for traction while in 4WD.
