5.7 Hemmi
Hello... New to the Forum.

2020 Ram 5.7 Hemmi about every two hundred miles the following lights pop up on the dash. Service Electronic Stability Control & Electronic Throttle Control (Red Lightning Bolt). The acceleration is slow down, however; when I shut off both go away and the check engine light stays on for about 15 to 20 min and goes away. I'd appreciate any advice.

I am going to clean the Electronic Throttle Control with proper cleaner not sure what to do for Stability Control.

Did you ever figure it out?? I’m having the same issue on my 21 Ram 1500 with 42k miles. Your input would be appreciated!

Buy yourself one of these old school testers,and start with the easy thing to check first ,the battery.
A battery not quite up to par,can cause alot of issues on the trucks,and for less then 20 bucks,you can do your own battery load tests at home.
Might not be the cause of your issues,but it's where i'd start first
