Hi guys i have a 2005 express 3500 passenger van and the lights for the stabilitrac and the abs are coming up so after checking i come to the conclusion it is the abs control module and no body seem to have it i check all mayor retailers and some online and in some websites is listed as discontinued i find the one whit no JL4 (control active brake ) every where so my question is can i use one of those and live whit out the dran stabilitrac or it have to be the module that have that and if so why is discontinued and where can i found one?

 

You might need to send/take it to someone who can rebuild it.

how do you know it's the module itself that failed?

Did you use a diagnostic scanner to read out the fault codes?

 

Thanks for the tip i going to contact Cardone hope they can fix it , i take the truck to a mechanic when the lights starting to come up intermittent and he tell us it was the abs module but i did not ask him what codes he got this was over four months ago at the time i was not driving much the van but is time to get it fix it also started to have more issues besides the abs , stabilitrac and brake light on now also the pedal feel sponge some times and also started to drain the battery at night i finally went to the dealer to see about getting a new abs module and they confirm they discontinued the module so only option is repair or get one from a junk yard , if somebody knows more places to get it repair or someone selling that module i appreciated the help i already call local yunk yards whit no luck.

 

If you want to try other junkyards try car-part.com. It's basically an inventory system for many junkyards in the US. LKQ is a big corporate junkyard with lots of facilities that might be able to help too but often more money comes with the better service.

 

Before spending a fortune chasing modern vehicle computer control faults do this. Determine the OBDII sensor fault at issue (i.e. code), Find the harness cable run for that sensor and check for any exterior damage (i.e. animal chewing through wires). if no damage is visible then disconnect the harness connector to the sensor and use Deoxit contact cleaner, washing both male and female connects. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect. Find the onboard computer to ABS, ECM and TCM connects and clean them also. If the sensor or control modules are not bad then 9 times out of ten simply cleaning old connections will fix the issue. Computer connects are low voltage and will oxidise or corrode over time. The vehicle on board computer that makes it past the first year should be good for the life of the car. The controller's should also be good providing the systems they control were properly maintained.
