Hey brother I truly truly thank you for taking time out to do this video for people like me. I got that exact same thing on my dash today and had no idea. Thank you sir.
Right on Nate, sorry for the late reply, just saw it now. Glad to help, I couldn't find any simple repairs so funny how things get fixed when they just need a good cleaning. Happy Ram'n
Just want to say thank you ! I’ve got a 2020 ram, which is kind of similar. I took out the little modular, cleaned it, put them back. The thing was still locked up until I put my belt on and open the door and disengage the brake.
I just did this to my 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 about 5 minutes ago. The light is no longer on, but it comes and goes while driving. I will update soon if it looks like this truly solved the problem (fingers crossed). That said, there was a mountain of soot all over the sensor, so I think this trick is what it needed.
@@BaconatorJR1 It did, but only for a short time. I had to get rid of the truck, it was having WAY too many problems. I traded it for a 2021 Dodge Ram gas engine. Every time something went wrong with my diesel engine, it was a nightmare getting it fixed.
Thanks alot! My driver side rear sensor was super gunked up. Cleaned both and unhooked the battery for five minutes, and went for a ride. Didn't go away right away, but after around 20 miles of driving I haven't seen it come back.
Just had this error message pop up randomly twice today on my 2015 1500. Hoping this simple fix is the issue. My sensors were caked with dirt so 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Either way you saved me a huge headache. Thank you!!
Hi there, I have Ram 1500, 2014 and same issue with the ABS and traction control lights on. I just came accross your video after watching numerous videos about changing the ABS sensors, buying diagnostic scan first, etc. I am in Prince George, Canada and its currently snowing with minus 15. Hopefully I can manage to croll under my truck in the morning when it's a daylight and find those rear sensors you were talking about in the video. good luck to me!
Hey Angelina, ya hopefully it helps you too. Seems to be helping the others that have replied here. Thx for your story, keep me posted. If it works for you make sure you "subscribe" and "like" so it'll start making the vid go to the top and help more so you don't have to search so hard. I don't post much but this one sure seems to be helping ppl. The again Angelina & good luck!
FYI- the sensor is a magnet that produces voltage so metal shavings can reduce its efficiency to the point of setting a code. I have found the same problem multiple times
My truck started doing that. If you take the hydro boost lines and you shake them, there's a liner on the inside of them. You can see it on the older generation of ram. It would get sucked into the tube going to the hydra boost. If you change the HCU and the ABS module I would consider looking into and replacing those lines. I'm getting mine custom built to where it gets rid of the liner
So I finally have my 2018 Ram 2500 fixed. It’s a long story but what it ended up being was a bad HCU (hydraulic control unit). Ordered a new one from Mopar and had a local shop install it.
I am having the same issue on my 2018 Ram 2500! I just cleaned both sensors. You were right they were both caked up with brake dust I guess. Hopefully this fixes the dash warnings. Thank you for posting the video brother!
did it fix your issue? i got the same thing going on just started this morning. i have a 2017 ram 1500 laramie with 51k miles. i literally just bought it saturday. pretty disappointed as i cant use 4x4 or cruise control until the light is off the dash!
@@levisouthern4869 no it didn’t fix the issue. My warning lights come and go. The dealership said I need an ABS control module which is on national back order and not expected to be out until July! It’s ridiculous!!
@Balthasarbrin Seems like once I got above 70 abs and traction light kicks on and it says trailer, abs and electronic brake system service, also my cruise won’t work when this happens. I just had new rotors and pads done at les Schwab but did you have the same problem??
Hey bro, thanks for the video. I went to try it, got the bolts off but the sensor won't come out. The don't move at all, any suggestions on how to loosen them so they will slide out?
Yesterday my ABS light(s) came on my 2016 RAM truck's dash as I was driving out of the driveway. I took it to my local Dodge RAM dealer. They said the ABS Module had an internal failure. The diagnostic charge was $ 160.00 and the module was about $ 1,400.00. They said it would take about a month to get it in as they only use genuine Mopar parts. My truck is 7 years old with 32,400 miles on it. I purchased the Mo Par Max Care unlimited warranty which covers every thing (5,000) parts. The mileage limitation was 1,000,000 miles. You may say I have a lifetime warranty. That was the best thing I could have done was buy that warranty for my truck and my wife's car. Dodge does not offer that any more. All I have to pay is $ 100 deductible and I'm back on the road.
Damn eh. Redonkulous and they’d prob do exactly what I did and say you got a new module. Lol. Frickin stealers. Stealing Dealers. Lol. No wonder they stopped offering that. I’d be all over that too if avail. You should be able to ask for your parts back. The modules prob still good. I’d get the new one installed, take the OG back install the OG myself just to test and see IF it was the module. If it wasn’t you got a 1400 part to sell for $700. You just made $600 instead of paying $100
@@fitfixinc.206 If it wasn't under extended warranty I would take the part back but since they are paying for it the parts is theirs. My last truck was a Ford F 150 super cab that I bought new in 1988. I kept it for 27 years before selling it. It was costing me more in repairs than I was paying in new truck payments.
I just had my rotors and pads done at les Schwab almost a month ago then this happened. At lower speeds it’s all good but seems once I go 65+ I’ll get abs and traction light and it’ll say service trailer, abs, and electronic braking system, also cruise won’t work when it happens. Did same thing happen with you??
Hey Man, it was so long ago I barely remember. Everything I knew at the time was in the vid. If your asking if it’ll help or not, just do it. Easy enough and could make the diff. NoDoubtAboutIt.
Thanks for the info. I just clean all four of my sensors. Did your error message go away right away or did it take some time to register that you had cleaned them.
Howdy, just saw your message and found it hilarious. They're a high end custom design I made myself. I was driving down hwy and there was a construction pilon that I happened to clip somehow. I have no idea how with my fender flares and the bumper but I remember hearing it. When I stopped it had broke 1/2 the red cover off so I just ripped the rest off and smashed out the other side to match. LOL. I'm too cheap to buy a new set as they still work just fine. It's literally been years and even rain and snow has not killed the bulbs yet. Give me a hammer and pliers and I'll make them for you as well. ;0)
I would assume so Aaron. I’m not sure exactly what the common year spread is but it’s a pretty common part. It would only take you a min to figure it out if you can get under the truck easy enough.
@@fitfixinc.206 Yeah, I sprayed and prayed before giving up on it. Then told my mechanic son what's going on and he's volunteering to fix it for me. :) SOLD! I think this is the problem though so thanks for the video!

Nice, what did you clean it with?
just a rag man, just a rag! @@rudolphblair8577
Did the same thing work out for you cause I have the same issue?
I have a 2017 ram 2500 will try this tomorrow! Ty
Thanks so much for showing this! You probably saved me no less than $500, maybe more. They charge $150 just for the diagnosis!
My plesh. $150 for the diagnosis and $1500 for a whole bunch of new parts cause you know they wouldn’t go the common sense route.
Been having the same issue for months took it to the dealer twice with no luck ran across this just cleaned them today. Thank you.
Thanks brother your the man! Woulda cost me an unnecessary service trip if it weren’t for you ❤
Just want to say thank you !
I’ve got a 2020 ram, which is kind of similar. I took out the little modular, cleaned it, put them back. The thing was still locked up until I put my belt on and open the door and disengage the brake.
interesting. Everyone seems to have a bit different solution and outcome but it all boiled down to that gunked sensor. Cheers

Right on Ramon, glad a simple vid and repair can help. Cheers
Mine had same lights on, 2015 2500hd wheel bearing was on its way out
I'll be checking that asap.
Hey Muriel, lemmeknow how it goes. Crazy simple once ya know eh.
Helped me out. Appreciate it!
Done it worked thank you sir

Thank you Sir.
thanks ,i had the same problem & fix it with your advice.
Thanks for the info!!
You can grease your wheel bearings like that as well!
my 2018 did the same thing all 3 of the lights turned on at the same time gonna see if this fixes the problem
Did it work? I also have a 2018 with the same issue.
I'll try it thanks
Maaan I hope this is the issue mine did start after I went through bad weather

Is anyone cleaning the holes where the sensor was? Cleaned mine out but the light is still on. Also what are you all using to clean?
Thanks, I’ll give it a whirl.
What do you clean it with? Is there a solution to spray on it?

Honestly not sure. I only had to do my rears so far. I’d assume it’s just as easy tho. I never had to remove anything.
@@fitfixinc.206 mine turned out to be the front abs speed sensors. Rears definitely needed cleaned but thanks for the help!!

I don't recall there being front ones on mine. Whats your year and model?
Didn’t work for me 😢 2017 ram 2500 same issue I don’t mind the lights on but the beeping gets annoying
Is the sensor just in the rear? Or on front and back?
Just got this on my 2014 Ram..
I just had all my wheels and rotors off doing a rotor and emergency brake replacement. I did not see the sensors on the front wheels, only back.
Do you use a solvent to clean the sensors?
Nope, just a rag. Certainly wouldn’t hurt to use a diluted solution like Zep or simple green but I did my find it necessary. It wiped right off.
Thank brotha, I'll try it today and reply back with results.

What u clean it wit my 2014 Durango has same lights
I just wiped it clean with a microfibre cloth. You could use some WD40 if wanted, it’ll evaporate and won’t leave a film.

Gonna go try it out
How’d it go Hector.
Thanks!!
I took off my battery and connected it back and the engine runs now but im having a check engine light
Get yourself a tuner or OBD2 reader of some sort so you can find out what the code is and go from there.

Nice tip, unfortunately the bolt sheared off on one, and on the other, that sensor is stuck on with corrosion. :|
