ABS, ESP/BAS & TCS lights on after battery outage

[ivanford]

I would try another 10 minute battery disconnect, these cars seem to be very critical of battery voltage.

I had a problem with the clock on my other car (not a Chrysler) after the time change. A quick battery disconnect fixed it immediately.

Tried that several times, along with pulling fuse 11 that should I read reset everything.

Also tried the lock to lock to no avail.

well,if you're ever in my area you're quite welcome and I'll read your car for you and my machine will read each and every one of your ECU's

Fire it up then hold the ESP button in for 8/10 seconds ESP Deactivated will pop up on the EVIC then go for a drive and see what happens. It worked on one of my old CRDs you never know. It will turn back on when you turn the key off.

I did that on mine once and it seemed to give me EXTRA ESP,like it turned it on even more

Think you will find it could be the Steering Angle Sensor that requires initialisation (Code C121A).

On pre 2008 models sensor can be reset by:
1. Turn wheel to straight ahead position
2. Start Engine
3. Turn steering wheel 20 deg to the left then 20 deg to the right (Past straihght ahead position)
4. Drive car straight ahead for at least 3 seconds at a speed above 3.7 mph.
5. Turn engine off and remove key.

Alternative is to start engine with sterring wheel pointing straight ahead and turn wheel from lock to lock a couple of times.

On 2008 onwards models steering sensor can only be reset by the dealers magic machine ???

Alternatively, If you ignore the steering angle sensor code it will reset itself after a few trips. (Mine did anyway)

Unfortunately doesn't seem to do anything, no EVIC message or seeming disabling of ESP.

And my magic machine can do that too on our cars aswell as many others

Will try my local garage they have some sort of fancy thingy majigy diagnostics machine, shame you're so many miles away Ray.

So I'm looking for code (Code C121A)? I suppose this isn't a DTC code then since my V-Switch reads DTC and nothing shows on it.
