Question MIL and traction control indicators on

Hi all,
the traction control indicator lit up this morning (2015/RT). I thought nothing of it and this afternoon, the MIL lit up as well.
I've got an appointment Monday morning with the dealer.
Anything obvious i can check in the meantime?
Would this kind of job be covered under warranty (van just turned 1 yr in May).

Thanks all, will post results afterwards.

Hi mcgusto,
Basic warranty is 3 years/36,000 miles. If you'd like to read more about it you can visit http://www.dodge.com/en/warranty/
Please feel free to keep me updated about this concern after your visit to the dealership, I am happy to reach out on your behalf if needed.

Hi all/Anna,
quick summary, the clock spring was replaced with no charge as this was covered under warranty.
Is it a surprise to see this part fail for a vehicle just over a 1yr old?

Hi mcgusto,
I'm glad your dealership was able to complete the repair. Unfortunately, we cannot comment on whether or not this is normal since we are not trained technicians. If you have any other concerns with your vehicle, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Question

This is interesting. It'll be a year next month since the clock spring was replaced and wouldn't you know it, the same symptoms came up over the weekend.
I'll be back at the dealer on Thursday. Would this part be considered under warranty as it's been less than a year since it was replaced?

Results from a few weeks ago (fuse issue). Report:

SCAN TESTED CHECKED ANGAL SENSOR CONNECTORS ARE OK REPLACED F15 FUSE
IS NOW WORKING INT PROBLEM?

So far, no problems.
The tech did mention that if the problem persists the issue could be to a bad tipm. the cost would be over $1G if that's the case!
