RAM 1500 · 2014–2021
The ABS/Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) on Ram 1500 trucks suffers internal electronic failures separate from the software-related ESC recalls. Owners report the ABS, brake, traction-control and related warning lights coming on together with stored codes such as C2200 (internal electronic failure), U0121 (lost communication with ABS module) and C2116 (pump motor fault / pump supply low voltage). C2116 in particular is a strong indicator the ABS pump/module itself has failed. The base brakes still function but ABS, stability and traction control are disabled, and the module must be VIN-programmed when replaced.
Common Symptoms
- ABS, brake, and traction/stability lights illuminated together
- 'Service ABS / Electronic Braking System' messages
- Loss of ABS and stability control
- Code C2116 pump supply low voltage
- Lost communication with ABS module (U0121)
How to Fix
Scan and confirm the module codes. For C2116/C2200 internal faults, the EBCM/ABS module is replaced (or sent for bench repair) and then programmed to the truck's VIN. Always check first whether the truck is covered by an active ABS-related recall or software TSB, which may fix the symptom for free. Verify proper brake-pedal feel and warning-light clearance after repair.

Frequently asked questions
What does C2200 mean?
C2200 stands for "ABS Control Module Internal Failure." C2200 is a manufacturer-specific chassis code reported by the anti-lock brake system module (the electronic hydraulic control unit) when its internal self-test detects a microprocessor, memory, or internal circuit fault. It is most commonly documented on Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram vehicles and on Nissan (Titan and Armada are a known pattern), and it points at the module itself rather than at a wheel speed sensor or wiring. Expect the ABS, traction control, and often the stability control warning lights to stay on. Normal hydraulic braking is retained, but ABS and traction control will not intervene during hard or slippery-surface stops.
What are the most common causes of C2200?
The most common causes of C2200 are: Internal electronic failure of the ABS/EHCU module (cracked solder joints, failed pump relay driver), Stuck internal pump-motor relay running the pump continuously and burning out the module (common Nissan Titan/Armada pattern), Water intrusion or corrosion at the ABS module connector, Low or unstable system voltage — weak battery, failing alternator, voltage spike from jump starting, Poor ground or corroded power feed to the ABS module, Damaged ABS module harness connector pins. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix C2200?
Repair costs for C2200 range from $350 to $1,500, depending on the vehicle and root cause.
