2017 Ram 1500, 5.7L
Pickup won't crank.

I have a blinking red light on the dashboard display and the radio displays
"Anti theft Code, Code error: Please restart the system"

How do I enter the code, or am I at the mercy of the dealer?

 

Try using your key to manually unlock the drivers door twice.

 

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I was so hopeful to get the car to work, that I went out right away to try it out. Unfortunately
it didn't work.

 

Anti theft is active. Give us more details. Was the truck starting before? does it have an aftermarket alarm? Have you tried a different fob? Have you tried disconnecting the battery?

 

Yes, the truck did start at least five times and then it stopped starting.
No aftermarket alarm.
I tried the 2nd key fob and had the same results, no start.
I've tried disconnecting the battery several times for periods of over 24hrs. Truck still dead.
I checked the CanBus and its at 61ohms. The 5v reference line is active.
I think the PCM is dead. So I've sent it out for reflashing.
