ABS and TCS lights on 2004 Sebring 3
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum stuff. I'm seeking answers to a issue I'm having with my 2004 Chrysler Sebring Coupe 3.0L 24v.
I changed the brakes and rotors and front struts and after my job was complete the ABS and TCS light came on. I didn't hit the abs sensors while doing the break job.. Connected the car to an abs reader and the reader was not able to communicate with the Abs. Does anyone know why and how to remedy this?

Welcome to the forum.
Both the ABS and TCS depend on the wheel sensors to operate properly. Since it was working before your work and not working afterward, and you were working in the area of the sensors, it's only logical to conclude that something you did could have caused the problem. Go back and check all your work carefully, make sure the sensors are aligned properly and that the leads are not damaged. The leads flex every time the car goes over a bump, so in a 13-year-old car, it's entirely possible that a lead has broken and lost continuity. A lead could have been on its last legs and got flexed just enough to break it when the car was jacked up to do the work.
As for the reader not communicating with the ABS, try another reader before you do anything drastic to the car.
Since the Sebring Coupe was built by Mitsubishi, you might have some luck on a Mitsubishi forum.
