Check all connections on batterys make sure they are clean and tight. Check connection on the heater solenoid just below the right side battery. Make sure they are tight no loose connections. Have the batterys tested if over 5 years old, or just replace them if they are that old, they are due to fail.

You may want to check for any codes, PCM flash update maybe all that is needed, depending on what codes are setting.

When was the last time your ECM was updated? Are you running a recently updated tuner?

The WTS is a recent issue with some Chrysler software, it indicates too much calculated injector return flow. It's supposed to not be accurate most of the time.
