Hi,


I have a 2002 Dodge caravan SE 3.3L V6 with 145000KM on it. Just recently the Brake, ABS, and Trac off lights are always on in the instrutment panel. I am 100% sure I do not have any of these features on the VAN so why would they light up and how could i correct it? Brakes are in good condition, front disc and pads are new.

Thanks.

 

Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 08-009-02 should take care of it. Your dealership will reprogram the instrument cluster. If you'd like a copy send me a private message with an email address and I'll send it to you.

 

FYI this has been updated or superseded with 08-015-04, just went through this with my wife's 2002 Caravan, found nothing wrong and ran across this, here is the updated bulletin... love forums but they only work if folks follow up with what did and didn't work
