Default dashboard lit up like a christmas tree...help?

About a week ago my dashboard lit right up. I've got the abs,parking brake,traction control,esp and bas lights all on. The truck is a 2009 1500 4x4 hemi. I got my hands on a code reader and pulled c2200 - abs control module internal and c1200 - rear traction control prime valve control ckt low.

I have searched around on the net and have been unable to find a good deal of information on these codes, from what I read on this site was the c2200 code required the abs module to be flashed? I called the dealership and the guy at the service counter took down some info and said he was going to talk to one of the techs in the morning to see if there is any warranty left on the truck and what can be done for it.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had these problems and what they have done to fix them? Thanks a lot for any information you guys can give me!

Bad TIPM's? What does that stand for?

Thanks, Bill.

Totally Integrated Power Module - that big thing under the hood that holds all the fuses and controlls all of the electronics

check the 30A and 40A fuses. i know when i pull the 40 to disable all traction control all those lights light up. Also our work trucks have had many issues with those lights when the wheel sensors get messed up. they aren't protected and rocks beat them up. we build shrouds for all our trucks cause they were going down every other week

I had the same issue about a month or so ago - I was told the ABS module took a dump and had to be replaced. After they replaced it with another bad one ... they put in a good one. Not sure what the part number is or how hard it is to do yourself, but I'm guessing it's your ABS module. I'd start there ... after you check fuses, etc.

My 09 did it too. Dealer replaced the Power Distribution Center(TIPMS as others are calling it). Worked fine one day then didn't the next. Now my right hand headlight works some days and some days not. Last MOPAR product I ever buy after owning 5 Rams in a row. At least I am lucky enough to have the Lifetime Warranty.
