Shifting RAM Trucks Out of 'Park'

Owners of 2013-2014 RAM 1500 trucks may experience not being able to shift out of Park. This condition can be corrected by turning off the vehicle and allowing all of the modules to go to sleep. Once the modules have gone through a key cycle, the DTC will go from active to stored and then the transmission can be shifted out of park.

Owners of 2013-2014 RAM 1500 trucks may experience not being able to shift out of park gear. This condition can be corrected by turning off the vehicle and allowing all of the modules to go to sleep. Once the modules have gone through a key cycle, the DTC will go from active to stored and then the transmission can be shifted out of park.

On further inspection, DTCs P0607-00 (ECU internal performance) and P0928-00 (BTSI control) may be found active or stored. Using wiTECH, check if the vehicle has both P0607-00 and P0928-00 active or stored. If so, replace the electric shifter.
