Replaced my module with





boneyard part and the brake light in the ABS light went out but my stability control lights still on could I have just gotten partially lucky or do I still need to go get it flashed at the dealer???

Try driving it around the block. i did the abs and problem still persisited would act goofy try to reset it etc. did the hydro module and lights were still on. the manual says to drive it in a few figure 8s or something. went out driveway to do that and all cleaned up. It must want to see values change and do a few things. i also had to do the abs bleed with alfaobd. 1 manual bleed brakes alpl 4 corners i think i started with passenger rear. drivers rear then left deont. right front.
2. abs bleed
3. i didnt do step3 because brakes are rock hard and function perfect but it says do another manual 4 corner bleed.

i have a perfectly good abs module for 2018 4500 spare. but if u got from fca then warranty for a few years.

Thanks ill try that a bit. Dealer only wants 120 bucks to reflash if worse comed to worse. Im hoping itll relearn and i can save a few beans but we'll see.

So update. Service manager at my dealer was honest and says he cant reflash a module from another truck as the vin from that truck cant be overwritten. And he didnt want to take my money which was cool of him.but now what?? How do I get rid of the traction or stability control idiot light or am I simply screwed??? Anybody???
