Hi All,
Mopar Engineering has identified an issue relating to the Mopar Gladiator Trailer Brake Controller and an interaction with the vehicle ABS braking system.
This issue affects Gladiator vehicles which were built prior to Jan 1, 2020.
On the affected vehicles built prior to 2020, pressing the manual brake button in the center of the Trailer Brake Controller Knob can cause a Diagnostic Trouble Code to be set by the Anti Lock Braking system.
This issue does not cause any safety issues or any functional changes in the performance of the ABS or ESC systems, but it will cause the Electronic Stability Control Indicator to illuminate in the Instrument Cluster along with a warning chime. This condition will be reset by cycling the vehicle ignition.
This condition can be easily corrected by updating the software in the ABS controller on your vehicle. Your Jeep dealer can perform this update.
There is a Technical Service Bulletin which has been issued to all of our Jeep dealers (TSB #C08 FSAR TSB-394) which communicates the specifics of this update to our technicians.
Mopar thanks each of you for buying our Jeep vehicles and our Mopar Accessories. We apologize for any inconvenience this condition may have caused you.
Thank you,
Jeep Cares Team
