Service electronic brake system alarm

[RobDi]

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 3.6 l engine. When the temperatures drop and the vehicle has been sitting overnight and I started in the morning I get the service electronic brake system message. My wipers also come on randomly stay on until the vehicle warms up then they go off. Is there something I should be looking for that would cause this to happen in the colder weather.? This does not happen in the warmer months.

Step number one is to check the specific codes in the system. That is always the first step in starting the diagnostic procedure. The ABS and wiper issues may be related. If so it's likely a common ground or power wire that feeds multiple modules. I would also be doing a visual inspection of the TIPM (basically the fuse block under the hood) for signs of corrosion. Guess it could even be a battery going bad as cold weather lowers the "power" in a battery and the engine requires a little more to start. A low voltage condition can cause issues.
