★ Top Answer
If the check engine light comes on in your Ram 1500, the first step is to safely pull over. Continuing to drive with the light on can cause further damage to your truck. Then, use an OBD II scan tool to retrieve the code stored in your vehicle's ECU. If the code displayed is P1DF3, it indicates that the transmission control module has identified a fault. This may suggest the need for a replacement transmission control module, or it could be a minor issue with the start-up process.

I replaced the battery on my 2018 Ram 1500 without realizing I needed to purchase a $150 memory saver before disconnecting it. The vehicle now has various warning lights illuminated, including the airbag, anti-sway, seat belt, and cruise control lights. I have tried draining the system overnight and have driven over 100 miles, but the issue persists. Local mechanics were unable to resolve the problem, and the dealership wants $200 to diagnose it. Despite using the same battery, the truck is unable to find a specific number, causing it to throw error codes. It seems like changing the battery has triggered these issues, which may be a tactic to push people to return to dealerships for expensive repairs. There should be legal action against Ram and battery retailers who fail to warn customers about potential complications. I anticipate that the dealership will charge a fee and find more ways to increase the cost.
