System Initialization

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, and 2004 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

System initialization starts when the key is turned to "run". At this point, the CAB performs a complete self-check of all electrical components in the antilock systems.

Between 8-17 km/h (5-10 mph}, a dynamic test is performed. This will momentarily cycle the inlet and outlet valves, check wheel speed sensor circuitry and run the pump motor at 25 km/h (15 mph), the CAB will try to test the pump motor. If the brake pedal is depressed the test will be run at 40 km/h (24 mph) regardless of brake switch state. If, during the dynamic test, the brake pedal is depressed the driver may feel the test through brake pedal pulsations. This is a normal condition.

If any component exhibits a trouble condition during system initialization or dynamic check, the CAB will illuminate the ABS warning indicator and TRAC OFF indicator (if equipped).
