2001 T&C ABS Light Code 11 ECU Internal Failure
 

Hi All,

I just purchased a used high mileage (167,000) Town and Country LXi 3.8L. After driving it a few hundred miles, the brake, trac off and ABS light came on. They now come on and off intermittently. I purchased an Actron ABS Code reader and the stored code was #11 and it read ECU Internal Failure. Is anyone familiar with the fix for this? Do I need a new computer for the entire vehicle or just the ABS Controller? I know you can purchased remanufactured/reprogrammed ones and save money, but I want to make sure I know exactly what it is I need to do to take care of this issue.

Thanks,
Alex

new ABS computer not a PCM

Thanks for the reply. After I posted I realized that more than likely it was just the ABS controller/ECU. Quick question for you. It doesn't seem like replacing the controller/pump is all that difficult, but I do not have the tools to properly bleed the system once swapped out. Do you know what Chrylser charges to bleed the ABS/brake system? I thought about getting a used ABS ECU and then changing it myself and having the car towed to the dealer (just about 3 miles from my house) to be bled.

the abs module can be replace by itself with out having to open up the brake system

That would be awesome. The only thing I found on the web indicated I would need to remove the lines in on the pump and slide the whole thing out to be able to sperated the abs computer from the pump. Do you have a link or anywhere I could get detailed instructions so I could see how to remove the module from the pump without disconnecting all the lines into the pump. That would be sweet, cause from a trusted mechanic in Atlanta I spoke with he was talking $500 to remove old computer put new one on and bleed the system. I can get a used computer for under $100 and do it myself. I don't care if it takes me 6 hours if it will save me $400.

oops I was wrong that would be 2000 and below U can do that

Good enough. Thanks for your help.
