Default My dash board says

On the right it has the ESP off(car w/ squiggly lines) and below that is says BAS. ON the left is says ABS.

I got sidways making a turn and then the dash board lit up like a Christmas tree.

Did I totally disable the ESP?

Since you didn't mention it I assume you didn't disable ESP on purpose.

That could be a Tire Pressure Sensor (TPS) issue.

In my prevoius chrysler vehicles any time there is wheel slip detected the esp/bas light would flash letting you know that the system is working. I assume that the charger would be the same but I can check the manual when I get home.

That's correct 73dart.

Was it justthe lights flashing BB3796? If so then your torque management was on and it wasn'tdisabled.

If those lights are on solid it's probably a TPS issue.

I filled all tires with air and still the lights are solid on.

What is TPS? Also My super chips is set to reduced torque managment.

TPS - Tire Pressure Sensor

Yes SuperChips has a setting to reduct torwue management but it doesn't disable it, I don't believeSuperChips is the issue here.

But the TPS is not lit up? It was and I corrected that but it did not correct the traction control and ABS. My ABS is not working I tried it yesterday. The car skid a good 10 feet before stopping. Just locked them up.

If your esp, bas & abs lights are on then check cruise control, I bet it doesn't work. If that is the case there is a TPS in one of you wheels that isn't working properly.

I would assume it's covered.

Unfortunately the PCM doesn’t itemize the TPSs so as far as I know it's trial and error to find out which one is bad. Maybe a tech at the dealership can tell if they hook up a starscan.

Look at it this way... you have a 25% chance of getting it the first try, from there the odds get better with each guess [&:]
