Hello everyone, im new to this forum and to this vehicle aswell..
Dont know if this is the right forum section either but i hope it is lol... Anyways, i have a 2014 Dodge Journey SXT with the big 2.4L four banger engine which i just purchased from a friend, it originally had the dreaded C2200 Internal failure ABS Module code (dont remember the exact description but anyways...), i read about the recall, however, im located in Mexico so its a no go for me to get the repair for free of charge from the dealership..
I got the new module, checked the part number with my VIN and the installation went smoothly, the only thing is that i cant get the ABS module to initialize, im using a Launch CRP429C and whenever i try to do it i get "Unable to initialize ESP Sensor" message and when checking for codes i have the C2206 vehicle configuration mismatch DTC...
My question is:
Do you positively absolutely 100% need the wiTech / StarScan software and hardware to initialize the ABS module after you replaced it for a genuine NEW module?
Is it necessary to write the VIN with said software?
On a side note when i try to read the module information from the old ABS module it reads the correct VIN number, if i do the same for the new module the VIN pid is empty.
Thank you in advance!.
