Default Got stuck, caused check engine.

Well, i got stuck today, real stuck. Got sucked into a ditch with like 4 ft of snow in it. Hit a big tree.bush on the way in broke my mirror, vent visors, ripped off the hemi badge, and put some good scratches in.

It also caused a check engine light... It read:

P0573 Cruise Control/Brake Switch A Circuit High

I am assuming its from revving it up spinnin rubber while getting pulled out. I was also assuming i could just clear it and it wouldnt cause any major problems, as long as it didnt come back.

Just looking for some imput from the peanut gallery, thanks

You are probably right. Just clear it and it will go away.

It will probably go away by itself after x amount of starts with no problems.

If you don't have a reader/scanner that can clear the code, then find you pcm fuse in the fuse box, pull it out, buckle the driver seat belt, put in key and turn to start and hold it there until you hear 2 chimes. Replace fuse, done.

I know for a fact that it works on 03-06 hemi's, never did an 06, good luck.

Yup, I'd agree with Keni, clear the code and odds are you'd never see it again. But about the little fender bender...
