    It sounds like something is taking down the communication on the J1939 data link.
    You need to test the data link with a multimeter. It could be a data link wire with the
    insulation rubbed through and grounding somewhere.

    Electrical not really my strong suit readings as far as voltage and ohms in spec could it be checked with laptop hooked up and all modules plugged in while you flex or grab harness and see if codes go inactive thank you for any information:

    If you have a plug in EDL or telematics device, try unplugging it.

    I had same issue on my 2019 LT prostar . Loss of comm no gauges working. I fixed issue myself. On front bumper a sensor works cruise control and let you know when close to another vehicle. Disconnect it and you shouldn't have any more problems. Just need to replace sensor if you want cruise control working again.
