TIPM Replacement

5K views 10 replies 2 participants last post by  Redram 
As long as this was a competent diagnosis, you could save money installing a TIPM yourself.
Disconnect the neg (-) terminal of the battery, dismount and unplug the old one, plug in and mount the new one, reconnect the battery and perform a hard reset. Your TIPM part # should be on a label affixed to the unit.

There are services online for exchanging/rebuilding these. I have no experience with any of them. I have done business with United Radio in Syracuse NY, an authorized Chrysler electronic repair depot.

There should be a fault code stored in the ABS module. We need to start with this code.
The dealer may have guessed wrong. Did a shop replace it or did you do the work?
 
Try this first:

Then if you need to initialize the TIPM or re-initialize the ABS, find a competent technician with a capable scan tool. I wouldn't go out and buy a tool for this, but I would pay a $100 (?) shop fee to reset & initialize the system With a capable scan tool like a WiTech2 or equivalent.

If the TRACTION light is coming on, a fault code may be stored in the ABS module. TRACTION resides in the ABS.
Did MAKS say the TIPM was plug n' play?

The original diagnosis may have been wrong? Are they the same fault codes as before? While TIPMs can fail, everything else must be ruled out first. Except for internal errors, the TIPM is the 'last house on the block' when troubleshooting these.

I would begin by having a good (competent, trained technician with the correct tools) try to restore & verify the system. If it doesn't restore or verify due to the fault codes, then the fault codes will need addressing first.
