ESP/BAS/ABS Error

Good idea....until I do, it's a 2009 CrewCab 1500 Sport 4x4 Hemi. It's straight up stock. The only thing I have changed on the truck is the oil.....

So the dealership called a few hours ago and said it was a bad wheel sensor (good call guys!!) They said they didn't have the part but would get one in tomorrow. They just called back and said that they were able to fix the sensor and will not have to replace it....does this make sense? I REALLY don't want this to happen again, will just fixing instead of replacing lead to more trouble in the future? They still are going to keep it overnight to do 2 recalls on the truck.
Thanks for all your help guys!

I think ther is a TSB for the wheel sensor connector.
If true, they will only just fix the original one on the truck.
Yes, it can happen again, if not fixed correctly the first time.
Now that ther is a work order generated, the 2nd time it quits, MoCo will tell the dealer to replace it.
Be sure you get ALL paperwork from the dealer when you pick up your truck after it is repaired. And CHECK/LOOK over the paperwork and make sure EVERYTHNG is on ther and documented correctly. Its too late to do anything after you`ve walked out the door....! Also BEFORE you drive your truck off the lot, check your truck for towing damage`s. Look for repairshop issues...greasy handprints on interior, door dings, items missing, etc etc etc

I smell lawsuits in the near future...!
I cant wait for a smart lawyer to come across an incident with a repaired wheel sensor that is connected to the brake system and they didnt replace the wheel sensor, quick fixed it, (instead of replacing it for safety reasons) person gets into an accident, kills someone....wowwwwwww. I bet dodge (and all others) will demand the dealer to replace the sensor(s) and NOT let them try to fix the sensor anymore. I`ve said it for years ever since wheel sensors became part of the brake circut, NEVER try to fix the sensor, REPLACE it...! And for the smart guys that know how a sensor is made, dont waste your time writing back in here that the sensor is just a magnetic pick up coil, i already KNOW that... magnets and connectors DOOOOO go bad...! My point to this is, try telling that to the court system when you`re in the middle of a lawsuit and dead bodies in the accident need to be explained to the judge & jury. Not something you would wanna go thru. Simple fix, replace ANY faulty brake part that has ANYTHING to do with the brake circut (hydraulic or electrical) and avoid any future issues all together. The customer will be much happier knowing the truck was fixed politically correct the first time thru too.

Not sure it's not a big deal, still waiting for the sensor (dealer ordered it) and by the time I have no abs and no esp. That I can live with that, but when everything blink, I kinda shake the truck when drivening ( like a stalling motor)
