It is definitely one of the wheel speed sensors but there is no easy way to determine which one. The problem does not throw a trouble code and actually all the functions are still working even though those three trouble lights come on (ESP/BAS/ABS). This issue will not throw the CEL light so if that's on it's related to another problem. The three lights will go out after a few ignition on / off cycles because the problem with the wheel speed sensor will be an intermittent one. I would not bother to do a repair until you are "in there" doing something else like a full brake job THEN you can replace all four wheel speed sensors. Sorry you have not been real happy with your Chrysler 300. All of my cars have been absolutely fantastic. I run them up to about 300,000 miles before flipping them. I have NEVER had an issue with any of them (12 cars so far) and some have never been back to the stealership for anything. Just routine maintenance . . .
No headway made today at all.
No codes set. None of the ESP/BAS or ABS systems work.
Looked at fuses , disconnected the battery, tried to take the connector off the ABS pump module and I cannot get my hand in there and release the locks.
I have to have this all fixed by March 6th to get my tag renewed. When I say fixed I mean have enough miles on the car to set the computer back to square one. No miles even if no lights and it will fail the test these days.
I like to run a car for 100,000 miles or so until I have no faith in it for a long trip, minimal maintenance to keep it safe, not abused. Then keep as a second car or dump it for a few thou. This car I would love to torch though, this is the worse car I have ever had. No more Chrysler's for me, I have had it with them. This car was made just down the road from me, not ten miles, maybe I'll torch it on the front lawn.
