(Pt 1 - 4th of July Special) Ram ABS Saga...(CEL ON, Can't Pass Inspection!)
43,640
Published 2024-07-04
Owner of this clean 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi drove 4 hours to PHAD because he can't pass the NYS Emissions Inspection (Check Engine Light is ON), and the local shops are out of ideas...
Multiple codes are stored, including:
P0456-EVAP Very Small Leak
and ABS MALFUNCTION...
The "ESIM" EVAP Vent valve and ABS Module have already been replaced...TWICE!!
So we have to address ALL the issues for the big Ram to be happy.
Let's follow the data and see if any parts are required...

The lack of OEM parts for vehicles under ten years old makes my blood boil.
-
The auto manufacturers have finally found a way to force people to buy new vehicles. Design parts that will fail and stop making replacements. Eventually the vehicle becomes unrepairable and you're forced to buy a new one. Genius. Although I have a few less flattering words for it. Absolutely disgusting what is going on in the automotive industry. Designed obsolescence pure and simple.
-
Ivan, your production reminds me of the 1960’s Batman TV show … At the end if each show was the infamous words: Tune In Next Week, Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel

Ivan doesn't give AN answer-Ivan gives THE honest, true answer.

I’ve done several of those ABS modules on Chryslers and programmed them. Common fail point. Pressure sensor is internal to the HCU and is a common code and the HCU needs to be replaced since it’s not serviceable like the older units. Happy 4th.
-
Ivan. If you haven't fixed it already. I have the part numbers for the pins and the connectors. Also new units have to be programmed before scan data is valid. The hcu can be programmed through meritor/wabco program. Free to download. I have rebuilt plenty of the pigtails to the ecu in the past. The electric motor is usually the failure point on mechanical side and corrosion on ecu side. Check the pins, bet wires are broke
-
Just had a similar with a '14 F150; bad pressure sensor (inside the HCU, of course), but the electronics module was ok. Ford discontinued the ABS module altogether. Fix from dealer was a Ford-approved replacement ABS and reprogram for $3K! Solution was a used ABS module to harvest the HCU with working pressure sensor inside, swapped onto the the original electronics module. This really looks liked a planned-obsolescence campaign on the part of manufacturers!
-
I just went through this exact issue. I was told at the dealership that the HCU module is a known issue in 2018 trucks, but mine is a 2017 Ram 2500. Replaced the HCU module to fix the issue. My truck has only 104,000 miles. NC truck.

Happy Independence Day Ivan and PHAD fam 🇺🇸👏🇺🇸👏🇺🇸

A smart person learns from their mistakes , a wise person learns from the mistakes of others .

Good morning Ivan. Another example of something way more complicated than necessary. Seems to be the rule anymore. Hope you have a good 4th
-
I 'm always happy when I see "part 1" and "special" in the title of your videos :)
-
I have to say that RAM is clean. No rust on the rocker panels or wheel wells. I see many with rotted out rocker panels and rusty wheel wells on the box. Not sure about the frame tho. Happy July 4th. We celebrate on July 1st.

"Look no further" Love that confidence.

If you think you are smarter than the previous generation, 50 years ago the owners manual of a car showed you how to adjust the valves................Today it warns you not to drink the contents the battery…🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Texas is considered a "southern state". However, if your part is coming from a coastal area you need to consider if it could have been under water. Also in certain parts of the north and west areas they do get some snow. Don't know if those areas salt roads or not.
-
"Place your bets now! Will Ivan take to tearing apart these failed modules to overhaul them?"
-
The "Flying Wings of Quality" (Dorman) gives you such confidence...
-
The initialization will write the vin automatically to the module. The write vin option is for new/blank module and doesn’t do anything for used ones that have vin in them
-
I push the smoke through the ESIM on CDJR vehicles. Whe tested that direction. All you need to do is disconnect the vacuum side of the purge valve and the electrical connector, and then the evap system should be completely sealed.
