2019 Limited - Side Step and Active Park Assist/Park Sense, service shifter

[kellyfitklub]

Hi, I have a 2019 Limited with 60k miles, I"ve had this issue for some time with the Active Park Sense light flashing, the buttons on the dashboard turn orange...after a while, it will turn off, and then it will come back on. This happens more in warmer days I've noticed. I had the module replaced 2 years ago and it never fixed the issue. I had moved to another state away from the dealer and couldn't take it back to them. I emailed Ram and never heard back as they were part of the original fix.

There will be messages on the dash and of course it chimes every time. Very annoying especially when it is going off and on randomly. The message will flash the Active Park Sense message and then it will sometimes flash service shifter.

The other issue I'm having and it has gotten a lot worse these last few days. The side step will act like its deploying and then go back in, it will do this several times and sometimes it will actually deploy all the way, the last few times I've had to jump up into my car since the step won't stay out.

I tried to call a dealer where I'm now, and they want $190 just to diagnose....That's too steep for me right now. Any ideas are much appreciated. Thank you!

Any codes popping up?

Any codes popping up?

It says on the dashboard a serious of messages, active park sense in unavailable, park sense unavailable, sometimes service shifter will pop up.

The other day the music would not play out of stereo. It seems like something weird is happening with the electrical, as the sidestep acts like it is deploying but will go back quickly in...it will do that several times before deploying and a few times it won't deploy at all. All of these things happen intermittently. I do notice these things happen even more so when its hot and sunny out.

I was asking more on lines of any DTC`s being thrown.

Where would these codes be?

Where would these codes be?

OBD II reader connected to the truck, could stop at the local advance auto, auto-zone or what ever is nearby and ask them to check for codes.
