Do you have a question about the PROMASTER 2017 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
MY VAN WONT START BECAUSE OF THE ESC SAYS IT NEEDS SERVICED. IT STARTED WHEN I HAD IT PARKED ON A DECLINE AND WHEN IT DRIFTED DOWN AND I TURNED IT OFF IT WOULDNT START BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO RESET IT ONCE BEFORE BY UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY AND WHEN I PARKE OD THE SAME HILL AND IT DRIFTED AGAIN I CANT SEEM TO DUPICATE THE RESTART. PLWEASE ADVISE
If a 2017 RAM Commercial ProMaster won’t start due to ESC service requirements, consider the following steps:
1. Check the ESC Indicator Lights – If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” remains on continuously while the engine is running, there may be a system malfunction.
2. Turn the Ignition Off and On – Restarting the vehicle may reset the ESC system. Ensure the ignition switch is in the ON position and check if the light turns off when the engine runs.
3. Drive the Vehicle – If the light remains on, drive the vehicle for several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h) to see if the issue resolves.
4. Listen for System Sounds – The ESC system may produce buzzing or clicking sounds when active. This is normal and indicates it is functioning properly.
5. Check for Power Reduction – If the vehicle is in “Partial Off” mode, the engine power reduction feature of the Traction Control System (TCS) is disabled, which may affect the ESC system.
6. Consult a Dealer – If the ESC malfunction light remains on after multiple ignition cycles and driving, contact an authorized dealer for diagnosis and repair.
These steps can help identify and possibly resolve ESC-related starting issues.
