We recently had some warning lights pop up with the brake system...
the "ESP BAS" light, the "ABS" light, and the icon for traction control. The red "BRAKE" light is not illuminated.
I drove the van around a bit, testing the brakes, trying to lock them up, and the abs system seems to be working correctly, no lockups, no noises, no noticeable problems. I got underneath and tried to wiggle the speed sensor wires and look for obvious problems, and found nothing.
Before I go crazy, I figured I would check with fellow Dodge owners to see if anyone else has has these issues, or may have advice about the diagnosis/solution.
Thank you in advance for any help, it is much appreciated.

 

Engine size? And did you get the trouble codes from it? It may not be brake related. The modules can often get DTCs from other modules'/systems' malfunctions.


Did you have any running issues when the lights popped on? Is your steering wheel off-center, or your alignment off?

 

V6 3.3L. I am taking it soon to check the codes. The alignment may have been slightly off, but nothing too much. Thanks for the reply.

 

yeah, you need to get the codes read, that will at least give you a starting point.

 

The engine is actually 3.8L, probably doesn't make a big difference in relation to part number. Anyway, codes are C101C, C101F AND U1418...all in relation to the right front wheel speed sensor. I need to look for the procedure to change this. It doesn't seem that it would be terribly difficult to do.

 

Wheel speed sensor ok.

 

I apologize TNtech, not sure what you meant. Were you agreeing that it is indeed the sensor?

 

2010 Grand Caravan, SXT 3.8L....
Identified that the front wheel speed sensor needs replacing...
When looking at a photo of the part, it looks like one end connects with a bolt, the other plugs into an electrical connection, and in the middle a bracket connects with a screw.
I have a friend with a lift in his barn so I can get good access to the wheel.

I have read that it is recommended that a dealer perform this procedure, but it appears relatively simple. Can anyone confirm/deny that this shouldn't be too difficult?

Thanks to all.

 

I am moving this to the Caravan section and merging with the post you made there.

 

Thanks jkeaton. I was trying to do that earlier when I realized I posted in the 'new members are' but couldn't see how to.
