C2116 on RAM
Manufacturer-Specific TPMS Sensor/Pressure Circuit Fault
C2116 on RAM vehicles indicates manufacturer-specific tpms sensor/pressure circuit fault. Au7o has documented this code across 1 RAM model — most commonly on 1500. C2116 is a manufacturer-specific chassis code in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System family. It generally indicates the TPMS control module detected a sensor, pressure-reading, or circuit value that is out of the expected range or implausible. Because the exact meaning is maker-defined and not part of a generic standard, it should be read conservatively as a TPMS sensor/circuit fault. The TPMS warning light typically comes on; tire pressures should be checked manually. Typical repair costs on RAM range from $350 to $1,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of C2116
- •Faulty TPMS sensor or low sensor battery
- •Out-of-range or implausible pressure reading
- •Sensor ID registration error
- •Wiring/connector or receiver fault
- •RF interference
- •TPMS module fault
C2116 on RAM by Model
RAM 1500(1 issue)
- ABS / Electronic Brake Control Module Internal Failure (C2116 Pump Supply, Brake/ABS Lights)2014-2021
The ABS/Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) on Ram 1500 trucks suffers internal electronic failures separate from the software-related ESC recalls. Owners report the ABS, brake, traction-control and related warning lights coming on together with stored codes such as C2200 (internal electronic failure), U0121 (lost communication with ABS module) and C2116 (pump motor fault / pump supply low voltage). C2116 in particular is a strong indicator the ABS pump/module itself has failed. The base brakes still function but ABS, stability and traction control are disabled, and the module must be VIN-programmed when replaced.

What does C2116 mean on RAM?▼
C2116 stands for "Manufacturer-Specific TPMS Sensor/Pressure Circuit Fault." C2116 is a manufacturer-specific chassis code in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System family. It generally indicates the TPMS control module detected a sensor, pressure-reading, or circuit value that is out of the expected range or implausible. Because the exact meaning is maker-defined and not part of a generic standard, it should be read conservatively as a TPMS sensor/circuit fault. The TPMS warning light typically comes on; tire pressures should be checked manually. On RAM specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes C2116 on RAM vehicles?▼
Common causes on RAM: Faulty TPMS sensor or low sensor battery, Out-of-range or implausible pressure reading, Sensor ID registration error, Wiring/connector or receiver fault, RF interference. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix C2116 on a RAM?▼
