Dodge Dart abs comes on

Filed May 28, 2025 · Electrical, Transmission · LA

I am having an intermittent, no communication with TCM, Active stabiliy control light comes on, the vehicle feels like it pops into neutral jarring the vehicle and once this happens i have code U0101 in PCM,ABS, ESM, BCM,IPC,RFH along with a U11C2 code in the PCM. also sometimes when this happens if i turn the vehicle off it won’t start again. I have not brought it to the dealership as i can’t afford it, but 2013-2015 dodge dart has a recall for the tcm because of the tcm bracket, causing almost ever issue my vehicle has. And i was told it is engine specific but the 1.4,2.0, and 2.4 all came with the same TCM and bracket. I aquired this vehicle 2 months ago and i have had the issue intermittently since i got it. i am a mechanic over 10 years and i have replaced the alternator due to the vehicle not starting after being parked. that seemed to fix the issue but several days later it happened again. then i had no issue with a no start again until today. I replaced all the star connectors due to having communication codes in so many modules. and oddly enough i had no issues for several days, then the ASC light came on and the vehicle jarred again but it only had a U0101 code in the ABS module and sometimes the PCM but no other modules and also the problem was not happening daily like before i would go several days without a issue i would clear the codes and had no issue the rest of the day. until today i just started the vehicle and while parked the light came on and i scanned it and it had codes in 6 modules again and it is now doing it back to back and i turn the engine off to clear the codes and they won’t clear and also the vehicle won’t start but if i cycle the key and open the door several times it allow the codes to eventually clear and the vehicle to start but shortly after the light comes back on and i have the same issue again. and it seems to happen mainly when i have a passenger.because the tcm is on the passenger floor board.

Brake Booster failed, no ABS, no traction control, no electronic braking assist. I've read where this has been recalled in Darts in 2013 models. Master Cylinder and Vacuum pump may also be bad.

There was no accident in this case. We lost brakes with no warning and the brake pedal got hard to press. So we changed brake pads and calibers in rear because had not be but few months on front brakes. Still no brakes they was then bleed to be sure and had little brakes and drove it home and the abs code came up and brakes went to floor. I then took it to mechanic and they check code and was abs service and he check abs brake module and was fine he then replaced the vacuum pump and still a hard brake pedal with further investigation he says the master cylinder and brake booster needs to be replaced. In doing some research on the dodge dart there is a recall for 2012-2014 dodge darts brake system which involves the vacuum pump and master cylinder and brake booster. We was able to avoid a accident but what if there are other darts the same year as ours with same issues and aren’t as lucky.

In 2013 I bought a new Dodge Dart Limited from a Dodge dealer. I bought the car in March and by October when it got cooler outside, it was evident there were some electrical issues related to the Uconnect screen blanking out and dash lights flickering while driving or when ABS engaged, and engine and battery lights on. The whole car seemed like it was resetting as everything electrical flickered and turned off and then on again. I took the car back to the dealership while it was under warranty at least 3 times to no avail. It would sometimes come back on after turning the car off for a period of time but then it turned off and stayed off for days. The Dodge mechanics claimed they could not get the problem to come up for them at all during yearly visits from 2014-2018. I researched the internet for solutions and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery seemed to fix it so that became a temporary resolution. After a while it became much more consistent and the battery trick didn't always work anymore. So I went to a second Dodge dealership in 2019 when my car was at the end of it's warranty and they did see the issue occur and decided to replace the screen all together. That next winter the problem came back so I went back to the dealership and this time they replaced the body control module. It's the next winter and the center console is completely out so I cannot control hazard lights, the turn signals don't make noise, backup camera is out, seat controls don't work, rear defrost never turns on but the front defrost blasts hot air constantly causing fog. I feel unsafe as I cannot see out of the rear window due to consistent under 40 degrees temps. The dash lights went completely out yesterday and I could not see my speedometer, but it came back on 60 min later. The engine and battery lights are on constantly since the weather changed. The dash lights are a huge safety concern as I don't know how fast I'm driving and it happens while the car is in motion.

When the check engine light first came on back in april 2018, before the recall with the transmission came out the traction control light would come on when that happened I knew I would have to restart my car before I could accelerate past 40 MPH. Then the light would go off. Now the light always stays on along with the ABS sensor light. My oil pressure sensor is also bad and keeps the check engine light on.

Abs module developed an internal short. Abs module will not communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer. This results in the ABS braking system disabling itself. Warning lights illuminate on dashboard ie: ABS, traction control and brake. Chrysler corporation will not warranty the ABS module.
