1. P0335 Crank Sensor fault and needs new #5080352AA part
2. C1o00-1, C1207 cab internal failure. Recommends replacing ABS ECU and Module Assemblies. Vintage Parts inc has part # 5140827AB. Part #5170479AA is no longer made or available.
Any thoughts on what this all means. Do I proceed with replacing the parts that are available? At this point it won't pass inspection.
Tomfox, You should never take your car to a Chrysler dealer. You will pay much more for any part or repair than necessary, because the Crossfire is basically a Mercedes product most all parts that Chrysler sells you are makered up from the (already expensive) Mercedes price. You should also know that Chrysler does not use the scan tool that your Crossfire was designed for use. It should be a DRB III , which makes me wonder what the "dealer" was using to scan your car.
If your car is starting fine and has not stalled for you while driving, then it is doubtful you have a problem with the Crank Position Sensor, CPS. Therefore, if I were you I would first get all the codes cleared , take the car for a short 3 mile drive, and then rescan the car as a 2003 Mercedes SLK 320 at an independent shop that specializes in european auto mobile. The ESP/BAS module may need replacing, but it could also be something as simple as a wheel speed sensor. I would trust a good independent shop much more than a Chrysler dealer and certainly any parts will cost less.
If you need to replace the Anti Lock Brake control module it will be best to find one on ebay with the exact numbers as the one that is on your car. It is a very easy job to replace that module / unit if it is necessary. Time wise it takes less than one hour.
