- 2012 Dodge Journey lost cruise control after 3 lights appeared:
ABS, Brake & Traction Control lights
Found this video for a Dodge Challenger with similar issue:
• Dodge Challenger ABS m...
Thank you HollywoodHornet!
Dealership wanted $700, with no guarantee cruise would work.
Purchased a used ABS system for $66 from eBay Motors
Purchased 2 OBDII scanners:
Launch CRP123($140) & Autel Maxicheck Pro ($255)
Both scanners showed: internal ABS ECM failures (not in video)
Launch was not able to initialize the used ECM.
Autel was able to initialize the used ECM and all 3 lights are gone.
Cruise control works again.
Hope this helps somebody.
Have a great day.

2017 Dodge Journey I have EXACT problems. What I’ve seen Dodge has ABS brake system problems often for many years. I’m thinking a recall should have been called many times as well.
I agree. My dealership said it would be $700 but they couldn't guarantee that they could fix the problem. This will be my last Dodge vehicle.
I have the exact same problem 3 same lights, looks like all Floridians we have the same problem maybe the humidity I just change the 4 speed sensors probably I need to do is the scanner. Thanks for the video
I hope you get your lights all cleared out. Good luck!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCH A BIG HELP
I'm glad it helped. Did you have the same issue and were you able to resolve it??
Awesome, dude
Very helpful!
Thank you, hope it helps others.
Very helpful!! We have the exact same vehicle with the 3.6 Flex Fuel engine. It would be fine but hubby is cruise control fanatic, like you. ;) when you purchased your used ABS control module, did you match the #'s, or was it just one that looked like yours with same connections?
I went on E-Bay motors and found several ABS units (with ECM attached) that fit my year and engine size. Was around $66 and had to use the scan tool to 'Initialize' the ECM so that my car would accept it. I already like you and your hubby!😁
Thank you!! We replaced it in 2020, but lights came back on in June of 2021. Due to the shortage of parts, have not been able to replace it. That's why I checked ebay and found some that looked like it, but not the same #'s. Good to know that others could be used. Like Ms. Phyllis below, I think Dodge should have recalled these.......AFTER developing a reliable replacement!
Have a question for you. I just had the ABS Module replaced in my 2009 Dodge Journey. The person who did it said they weren't able to initialize it, and I would probably have to take it to the dealer. I saw your video, as well as a couple of others, and I wondered if you might know if you have to have the Maxicheck to do that, or are you able to drive it so many miles, and it will "reprogram or relearn" by itself. I saw another post that said they believed it was possible, but I don't want to wait and drive it 50-100 miles, if it won't work. Thanks so much!
I had seen that statement also, but I personally don't think it's valid. Some things will go away after a while, like a tire pressure indicator after you pump up your tires, but I wouldn't think that the ABS ECM falls into that category. I'm not a mechanic though, just a DIY kind of guy.
Getting ready to do mine. Thanks for your video. Same issues, same year. Waiting on my new (used from ebay) module to arrive. Question, I purchased the Launch CRP123 before I realized it will not initialized the replacement ecm. Thinking of returning it to get the Autel Maxicheck. Is there anything the Launch has that is better or nicer than the Autel, because I am also looking at maybe getting the Launch CRP919X since it looks like it will also do ecu coding, as well as a few other things (although quite a bit more $$$). But do like the look, feel, interface, etc of the Launch products. Is the Autel just as nice?
The launch has many vehicle brands in the menu, both foreign and domestic. The Autel only handled the domestic vehicles from what I could tell. I wish you luck. Let us know how it goes. There's a certain satisfaction you experience if you can pull off your own repairs. My friends are always telling me to just take it to the shop or go buy a new car. No fun in that!
@@RimShotWiLLEy Agree 100%. I have always done all my one repairs from rebuilds, cars, boats, atvs, motorcycles, engines, rear ends, etc... Only thing I wont touch is transmission rebuild (at least not yet) Thanks for the advise and quick response.
Same thing happened to me replaced the abs pump and controller with one from Rock auto and I still have the damn alarm of the abs warning driving me crazy. Dealership wants over 1k to fix and no parts are available for minimum 3 months.
If you're near Orlando I can lend you my scan tool and see what happens! 🙂
@@RimShotWiLLEy brother thank you so much I'm actually going to buy it on Amazon and hope for the best if not well return it with in the 30 day window
@@Driftking305forlife That's awesome! If you run into any issues let me know and we'll figure it out! Good luck, my friend. 😃
When you mentioned about adding fluid on top, do you mean in the actual module first? An then tighten the lines up?
Is the car safe to drive with all 3 lights on? This just happened to me but the car is so far running fine and I don’t use cruise control
@@pac72024 Yes, it just won't have Anti Lock brakes. It will just have standard brakes and they should work fine.
Yes, I added fluid to the ABS module and then carefully slid it into place. It helped with the bleeding process.
Nice
I’m trying to buy one for my car but I don’t wanna order the wrong one what number need to match for it to work? Or does the vehicle make a model? Just need to match
I just used the year, make and model on eBay.
Victory is powerful
Ive had this same issue for a few years. I changed my front brake pads and have completely lost the front brakes. The peddal goes down to the floor now. The master cylinder has been replaced, bled, as well as each caliper bled countless times. I threw in the towl and a "mechanic" had the same issue as i did and told me i needed a new abs system. Did you encounter any of the same issues?
No, that's bizarre. Do you show any signs of leaking brake fluid around the ABS fittings??
@RimShotWiLLEy did you also do an abs bleed? I know the maxicheck did the initialization but did it give the option for abs bleed as well?
Did you bleed the brakes with the scan tool or the ol fashion way
I just bled them the old fashioned way. I used a Gatorade bottle with some brake fluid and a tube so I could leave the bleed fitting open and pump the pedal, checking the fluid occasionally.
I'm curious as to why you weren't able to just remove the electronics without disconnecting the brake lines..
The ECM module is not accessible in the vehicle... It's against the firewall, you can't get to the screws. It has to be removed entirely, unlike some other models.
just had this happen to my 2014 crossroad with 131 k i do have the lifetime warranty ( 100. deductible)on my journey BUT they have ordered the part ,but they say it is sch to arrive in Jan of 2023
Dang, hopefully it will show up sooner than that....good thing you have the lifetime warranty!! Let us know how it turns out.
@@RimShotWiLLEy well it still hasn't come in. BUT today i had to make an emerg braking on the interstate and after that the system work okay, but then the lights came back on after turning it off a, but them went out again after driving it for a while.... I want to clean the connector on the abs unit and was wondering how it comes off is there just a lever that keeps it locked in place?
@@davidstreling3690 Yes, there were some tabs on the bottom of the lever that you need to squeeze and then the bottom lifts out. It pivots from the top. The hardest part is squeezing the two tiny tabs. Good luck! 😃
@@RimShotWiLLEy well since my last post my abs has started working again with no other lights as well, dont know why and the part at the dealership is still on backorder, dont want to mess with anything since everything is back working again
@@davidstreling3690 That's really odd. I hope it stays working for you!
I'm dealing with this issue right now. I see you uploaded this a year ago. Have there been any issues with your repair since then? I just had the brakes done on my wife's car and now the same lights came on. The place I had the brakes done at said it's the ABS module. They don't work on them anymore and they refer people to the stealerships because they said they have had problems in the past getting these modules to initialize. They said they will initialize at first but then the codes come back at a later time. Just curious if there have been any issues since your repair?
No issues whatsoever. It's been fine since the swap. I'm still driving her - over 150K and still going. I would recommend seeing if you can find a used one and go for it.
@@RimShotWiLLEygetting ready to work on the wife’s car tomorrow. My eBay seller took his sweet time shipping the part but at least I have the part now. Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the module?
@@ReliantJustUsProject I did not, but it would probably be better if you did. Good luck tomorrow!!
No luck. The Autel scanner did not work. It says it cannot initialize the module. However, The abs light and the break light went out but the traction control light is still on. So my guess is that there is a wheel speed sensor that is bad but the autel doesn’t show all four sensors. I guess I have to bite the bullet and go to a stealership.
@@ReliantJustUsProject Do you have the same scanner that I had??
What is the code scanner model number
Autel Maxichek Pro.... Both scanners are listed in the description.
Will it crank it not reinitialized
Yes, it will still crank and drive. You just won't have the anti-lock feature, but your brakes will still work
engine wash messed mines up
Oh man, that's not good!!
@@RimShotWiLLEy yea, i'm gonna try your method tmrw..but quick question, why not replace the complete used module, rather than transferring the computer part
@@higherregion I guess you could change the entire system, but it was just easier to swap the module out. I bought the car new, so I figured I would stick with the original one.
Who wants to buy a shitty dodge ?
After purchasing over 20 vehicles, I'm only purchasing Toyotas or Lexus from now on! 😄
I own a 15 journey all wheel drive and charger , not a single problem
@@ernestoruesta9446 WHATEVER!!
