Default 2011 1500 dash lights

Just bought my first dodge a 2011 ram 1500, and it has 2 illuminated lights on the dash... one being a tpms malfunction that I'm assuming is a bad sensor... the other being the traction light is on (the one on the lower right not the on off) I've tried googling to determine the cause but I'm not experiencing the other lights like abs and my cruise works fine... any idea of what it could be?

Hi bobby3306,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

There is a ESP switch or a settings option to enable and disable. When you push it to disable, that one light will come on.


If you have a bad tire sensor, just do all 4 of them. They have about a 5 or 6 year life span typically, so the other 3 will soon follow. If it's bad, you should have a dash where the number should be on the display. If it's just low, it will show the low number. If you plan on getting tires at some point soon, just wait until then to replace the sensors.
