C0020-01-ABS pump motor control - general electrical failure

- Macon, GA, USA

Service ABS comes on and off randomly. When cruising at highway speeds, it causes the random shutdown of cruise control when not expecting it. This is very dangerous. Dealer states parts are on back order for years and they also state that it won-??t fix the issue long term anyways. How has this issue not resulted in a safety recall!? I-??ve read that thousands are plagued with this same exact issue.

The ABS sensor light and Anti Brake light warnings both suddenly came on. I was only way to have my tires rotated so they ran the tester on it and came up with code C0020-1. ABS motor pump control and General electrical failure. I did some searching and found that this happens a lot and there is not a consensus as to what causes it or how to fix it. Also references to a faulty part. I have the part numbers. They recommended that people having this issue report it to you.

2017 Ram 2500 ABS Pump Module was replaced before at 33,549 miles in May 2021 ABS and TCS Lights keep coming on now again at less than 49,000 miles. This is not an uncommon problem it seems, so I am adding my incident.

Abs module in limp mode with 45k miles think they have a problem by the looks of all the people on forums that have the same issue. No ABS while this is faulting and they have no fix got to love it I feel so safe now driving around.

Abs module and hcu failure. Must be replaced AGAIN.

- Charleston, SC, USA

At approximately 101,000 miles, the service Electronic Braking system and service Antilock Braking system warnings began showing up intermittently on the dash. I have taken the vehicle to a dealership and have been quoted between $1,500 and $3,000 for repairs once parts are available, with a 6 month wait for parts. I was notified that parts had become unavailable in the second half of 2023. I have lost cruise control and slight braking performance due to this on top of the nonstop annoying dinging going on.

- Waco, TX, USA

At around 80k miles, started getting the service anti-lock brake system, electronic braking system alarms. Traction control light and abs light are on permanently now. What's funny is that now the rear parking sensor failed which makes me wonder if all this in the electrical system is tied together. Dealer said it was the hydraulic control unit. That did not fix it. Next it was a wheel speed sensor. That did not fix it. Then it was abs module but it is "discontinued." In other words, Chrysler knows there is a major issue and NEEDS to issue a recall but hasn't yet! I have over a grand in this and it's not fixed. Dealer said that they don't know what the fix is. Please issue a recall!

Service EAS Braking, ABS warning lights intermittently appear.

- Walling, TN, USA

Intermittent MIL stating ABS and TCS service required, started has been going on since I bought the truck in January 2023 at about 50k miles (currently about 75k). Often happens when driving over any sort of uneven terrain - bumps, potholes, seams between concrete and asphalt surfaces, milled asphalt surfaces, speed bumps, debris, etc. Dealer says the ABS module needs to be replaced, and that there are none available. With some research, this appears to be a common/known issue for Ram trucks, but no recall and no effort to even manufacture the part so it can be fixed, regardless who is stuck with the bill. When this light comes on, neither 4WD nor cruise control function, which can cause safety concerns - especially while towing.

ABS TRACTION LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENT. Seems like every time I hit a bump.

- Oakdale, NY, USA

The ABS module has failed. There aren-??t any available across the entire United States in order to fix our vehicle. We have no ABS, no cruise control, no trailer brakes. We can-??t get any help or answers from Ram. We have started a case with them and cannot even get a call back. The dealer cannot even order the part.

2017 Ram 2500 needs HCU and ABS modules dealer diagnosted the problem 2/29/24 parts are still not available to fix. I read there-??s many of us with this problem it should be a recall, I shouldn-??t have to pay $1635 to repair it.

Abs module and pump goes on and off about to put the third one on the truck and only has 74,000 miles

- Cumberland City , TN, USA

The ABS and electronic brake system service warning is going off. I scheduled an appointment and the Ram dealer and after inspection claims that HCU-ABS Hydraulic Control unit needs to be replaced. This seems to be a very common issue with the RAM 2017 2500 model.

- Louisville, NE, USA

ABS module constantly going off and removes 4 wheel drive, parking assist, traction control, and and brakes

- San Antonio, TX, USA

ABS and traction control lights intermittently go on and off. Most of the time just by driving over a bump. Constantly going on and off. Many forums online about this related issue. Many talk about pump being replaced and not solving or the Hydraulic Control Module replaced and not solving and many talk about faulty electrical connections. Error code: C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure

- Stilwell, KS, USA

"check ABS system" light intermittently comes on/off. When the light is on every time I hit the brakes it chimes. The dealership says it is a known issue with 2017/2018 Ram 2500/3500 trucks and that the ABS module/pump needs to be replaced but they have been on back order for over a year. Looking on the internet there are loads of people with the same issue and yet there is no recall. The dealer says that I should "be careful" driving the truck as the ABS not working could increase stopping distance.

- Mountain Home, AR, USA

On my truck my ABS and traction control light came on as well as a message that say to service ABS system. The parts are on back order for a year now. This problem has surfaced on many Ram 2500's. I contacted the dealer and they don't have parts to fix if. When driving in wet conditions especially while towing a trailer the wheels lock up while breaking. I've been towing going down hill and have had to use a combination of engine breaking, downshifting and feathering the brakes to slow down. Chrysler Fiat should issue a recall on this issue since it happens to many Ram 2500. This started when I had only 38k miles on my truck. Chrysler fiat has issued a recall for the 2019+ trucks but not the 2014-2018 which have the same exact problem. I'm hoping you can help this matter.
