Exact same issue happened to us on our 2018 Ram 2500 about 2 months ago. I learned like you, that there are two parts - the HCU and ABS Module. I ended up finding a dealer with both parts, but Ram would only cover paying for the HCU. That fixed the problem for us at least for now. We've been driving about 2K miles since with no errors and the code disappeared (same code as you). There's also someone who has filed a lawsuit against Ram for this problem.

My 2018 had the same problem - both components need to be repaired, the HCU and ABS module. FCA paid for about 75% of the repair costs as I was out of warranty but barely with only 45k miles. Call the 1800 Ram Cares number and speak with customer service rep. Soon this will be a recall and FCA knows this but they are dragging their feet.

Concensus seems to be that the problem is in the electric motor that powers the HCU. It is a manufacturing flaw wear the brushes bind in their guides. Definitely needs to be a recall. A new motor would not be that expensive or labor intensive compared to replacing the whole thing.

Hello again Ray! you have helped me in the past so maybe I can shed some light on this for you and the followers of this site! My 2014 had same messages and more , as in listened to the ''DING'' all the way from Colorado to home in IL!! Turned out to be the Can Bus wires from the ABS module to the connector that sits on top of the ECM under the hood, RF CORNER for gas like mine. Diesels have the ECM further back by firewall [I think]? Ran new wires for can bus pos and neg. This can bus circut comes into cab and plugs into a star connector [7 pot] that is mounted inside right kick panel under glove box area. yellow wire and yellow wire with LT green tracer wire mini plug. Also, my star connector was out of spec on ohms as one resistor had went south.[should be 60 ohms at all ports, so I replaced that as well. No more ''everything is wrong'' messages! I could not find this issue with my hand held code reader and a volt meter...had to have a friend use his scanner/scope to find this issue! Hope this helps somebody!

In 2019 we had this on our 2018 3500 dually, always when it rained. FIVE times back and forth to the RAM dealer, replaced wheel sensors, and faffed around for almost 3 months. Eventually they spoke with the "Tech gurus" at head office, whoever they are, who talked the local guys through a rewire fix. Not had a problem with it since, fingers firmly crossed and touching wood at the same time.

I'm leaning towards a intermittent connection either a wiring plug or solder connection in a module. I've noticed it first acted up after traveling on some rough gravel roads and it often is set off when I hit a bump. Worse when the truck is cold not hot. Also rarely happens when the trailer is hooked up like the extra weight pushing down on the suspension changes things.

I have a 2018 ram 2500 with the same intermittent issue. I've filed a complaint with the NTSB and would incourage everyone with this issue to do the same. My hope is Ram steps up and issues a safety recall. Otherwise the truck has been fairly problem free other than a failed thermostat and the factory original tires causing vibration above 70 mph.

It's amazing how many problems the newer vehicles can develop. The more electronics and sensors they put in these vehicles, the more problems we have! I have a 2015 RAM 2500 and it turned 8 years old this year but it only has 49k miles. This year I had to have the pump for the DEF system replaced, and it cost me $3000.00. Talk about a huge setback! For that last year, I've been getting an intermittent oxygen sensor error. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to affect anything, but when the check engine light comes on, it disables the remote stating system. So I just clear it out and all is well again. The code reader I bought was a really good investment. Hopefully your DEF system won't cause you any heartaches.

Yup, all the extra performance, conveniences, and cleaner emissions come at a cost. I purposely went with a barebones Tradesman model to keep the electronic gizmos to a minimum. Still uses a metal key versus a fob. :) But they are amazing compared to the old trucks. My 1994 was a pig performance-wise next to this Ram, which also has way more weight, capacity, etc. The oldie was also nickel and diming to death as things kept wearing out on it, and parts were harder and harder to source.

Mine like yours doesn't alarm while towing my fifth wheel. Like you I think its an electrical connection and can go all day without alerting and other days ding constantly.

Cheers, Ray @LoveYourRV 2 months ago I found this forum thread about a possible sticky motor brush www.ramforum.com/threads/2018-failed-abs-hcu-teardown.199515/ It makes sense as my failure is intermittent and when it takes place is usually after a sharp road bump of some type or rough pavement and it often works fine for weeks. My feeling also is it seems to happen more in cold weather or before the engine heats up. If this is the common fault I could see companies starting to do remans of the HCU to update/repair the simple problem with cores sent back.

If replacing either of the modules did not fix the problem, it is almost assured that it is an intermittent wiring problem. It is unfortunately the nature of intermittent problems that the service tech won't have the time (or, more precisely, you can't afford to pay them for the time) to properly diagnose the problem. Once the actual problem is found it would be really easy to fix, though. The diagnosis involves, using the wiring diagrams, tracing the relevant circuits to examine the condition of all the wires and connectors. If that doesn't help, the next step would be to rig in replacement wires for the circuits (a few at a time). If you re-run some wires and the problem still occurs, you know none of the replaced wires were the problem. Conversely, though, if re-running the wires does eliminate the problem, it could just be your luck that the intermittent problem is in remission. Doing this also ideally involves a supply of connector pins and the appropriate pin removal tool(s) so you can replace entire circuits connector to connector. This also assumes it is a single-failure problem. If a mouse has chewed on a harness (or it was struck by road debris) and damaged several wires the process of elimination above is less reliable.

The C0020 trouble code is actually really easy to permanently fix on these trucks. There's nothing wrong with the ABS control module or the HCU really. The actual problem is the brushes on the pump motor stick in the brush guides and don't contact the commutator causing the module to see an open circuit. Its relatively easy to remove and disassemble the motor, repair the brush guides and just like that no more issues. I've been doing this repair on trucks for a couple years now and usually costs the customer $300 with no parts required.

If this is the common fault I could see companies starting to do remans of the HCU to update/repair the simple problem with cores sent back.

How do you fix it?

Seems most repairs are done by replacing an expensive part called the HCU ABS Hydraulic Control Unit. Read the comments, lots of info has been discussed.

Ram has had this problem since at least 2012 . They know about it and have done nothing for the customer to repair it. I had the problem on my 2012 and now on my 2018.

Is it the same problem? I've read the older ones were wheel sensor related and this one has to do with the ABS pump motor brushes sticking in their channels.

Doesn't sound encouraging. :( From what I can tell they seem to have an issue with the part design, needs to be redesigned/upgraded.

No, the problem has almost gone away for the last month and a half. Only dinged a few times and we have covered a couple thousand miles traveling with our RV.

That would be great and I've seen videos about that fix, too, but usually, they are older Rams than mine, or the fault code indicates a wheel sensor. My fault code indicates the ABS HCU. Its a common problem.

Don't know if this helps but stumbled upon this video with abs problem kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPNc6CVYquofKc I retired from selling auto parts at Dodge 5 years ago but I can tell you the AA and AB or AC on the end doesn't necessarily mean they fixed something..it's just different runs of components from supplier sometimes..but if they have known issues and they redesign something then they supersede to a new number all together usually. Hope this helps Ray....waves high from Ontario

Sounds like its worth a try. What year of truck is yours? I have read about wheel sensor issues in older models. They usually throw a different code that indicates a wheel sensor is a fault.

Cost of admission I guess. Maintaining a heavy duty diesel truck is rarely cheap. At least its paid for now. My old 1994 Ford diesel averaged about $3-5 grande a year in maintenance and repairs.
