This is telling you there is a problem with one of the sensors or controllers for the traction control system. You will need to do a CAN scan with is easy to do. You can get a CAN scanner from Amazon for about $30.00.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is a scanner link:

It will probably be one of the front bearing hubs that is bad, can you hear a rumbling noise from the front when you drive? If one of the hubs is bad, here is how you will change it out. What happens is the bearing hob can stay true to the ABS or wheel speed sensor and the computer notices this. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

There is a code of c121d. I have changed the ABS control module, I've bled the brakes. The scan tool only shows this 1 code and nothing else.

The code C121D is the Brake pressure sensor circuit out of range. They say it is an ABS module problem. So, let's check the power feed and grounds of the module.

Here is a guide and the ABS module wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which wires to test:

I did notice the ABS is powered by the TIPM which Ram trucks had a problem with. here is how to replace that was well which is easy because it self-initiates. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.
