The Chrysler Town and Country uses a diagnostics system known as OBD-II. If the system triggers an "ABS" fault light, a problem exists with the vans anti-lock braking system. After youve fixed the problem, the light may not immediately go off. Youll need to reset the computer, or drive the vehicle for a while, to turn the light off. You can reset the "ABS" fault light by using a diagnostic scan tool, or by unhooking the vans battery.
Step 1
Turn the Town and Countrys engine off, but leave the key in the "On" position. In this position, the cluster lights should be on.
Step 2
Plug your diagnostic scan tool into the scan port beneath the steering column. After a few seconds, youll see a notice on the tools display screen that lets you know it is connected to the Town and Countrys computer.
Step 3
Push the "Reset" or "Clear" button on your scan tool. Wait for the display screen to show a confirmation, and then unplug it from the port. Turn the key off and remove it, and then reinsert it. Make sure the "ABS" fault light is turned off.
Turn off the Town and Countrys engine and open the hood if you dont have a diagnostic scan tool. Lift the cover from the vans battery. Turn the nut on the black (negative) battery cable with pliers or a wrench to loosen it. Grasp the base of the cable and pull it away from the battery to unhook it. Wait 10 minutes, and then reconnect the battery. This resets the computer system, including the "ABS" fault code.
