Hi ! I have a big problem with my dart ! All started with just abs light and traction control on the dash. Chek the code with Bluedriver (profesionnal bluetooth OBDII Scanner) and nothing.. After 3 month with the light still there the car feeling really bad after start up and chek engine light on. Cheked for code and got this P0352: Ignition Coil 2 Circuit • P0354: Ignition Coil 4 Circuit • P0351: Ignition Coil 1 Circui. And 59 others codes! (Probably false codes for the 59 pending codes). One time per week the chek engine light up and the car doesn't drive weel because of the coils..

Does anyone had problems with false codes or a big electronic problem or just the abs and traction light ?

Do the pcm (ecu) is faulty ?

What could it be the problem?

I also have the N2mb wot box installed for a year and never had any problem...
I removed the exhaust but a
i don't think there is related to my problems..

Replace your ignition coils. It's a very common problem with the 1.4.

Agree - the 1.4 OEM Beru coils are awful. Change them out to some better aftermarket ones.

Also, why, and how would you drive three months with the car like that?

The scanner that works best on the Darts is the OBDLinkMX bluetooth. Use that with the alfaOBD app. The Blue Driver Scanner is a nice scanner but it's probably overkill on the Dart. See the link:

Have you tried contacting Blue Driver? Their rep might be able to figure out why your scanner is spitting out redundant codes. They may even be able to update their software to make it work like it should. If you don't tell them, they won't know there is a problem.

I already change the 4 coil when I was on the guaranted because they failed...

But now the problem is not really the coil or the other codes.. I pretty sure the pcm (ecu) is failling. I will try a flash to factory state to see if it solve the problem.. The coils problem that i have now is related to the misfonction of the pcm.

I was waiting three months untill the winter season finished to chek the wheel sensorswhen remove the tires for the summer ... At the begining of my probleme I had nothing about the coil or bad driving problems.. The only thing I had is the abs light and traction light up ... And I was thinking for bad sensor...But now I'm pretty sure it's a failing pcm...

Yes I see this post last night when I was looking for a post that seem to be like my problem ? ! I purchased the alfoOBD on googleplay store in my android phone and I will order the OBDLinkMX... And for the bluedriver it's not the adaptator the problem..... I also have a cheap OBD elm327 wifi and one bluetooth purchased on ebay and I also have 50+ codes..

I see a post yesterday that a guy had the abs light and traction light up when driving and when he went on reverse the chek engine light up... The car has only 5000 miles and it was a bad pcm.... So i'm pretty shre now that is the pcm was causing all these false codes and can't operate the car good and put the coil problems.. These symptoms are usually related to a bad pcm..

The ABS and traction light are most likely due to the brake booster check valve that has gone bad. Had the same issue and swapped it out and its gone. Part number is 68053596AA. Also DO NOT USE BLUEDRIVER WITH THIS CAR! I have one also and it does not read this ECU correctly. I reported it to them many times but they have yet to fix it. I had many of the same codes, check it with a different scanner and you will see they will not be there. Scared me half to death the first time I used my Bluedriver on this car.

Ok thanks a lot for your precious answers!! I wa really thinking I had a failing pcm ?.. I will chek tomorrow with another OBDII scanner to see if the codes are there.. And I will also chek the brake booster chek valve !! But for my freaking 3 coils I don't know why they are acting like that ... I had them four replaced ....

Your very welcome, Lets start with a good code scanner and let’s see what codes you get and then we can figure out what else may be going on. I also recommend the OBDLink MX as well, I also have a launch diagun which also works perfectly, I think the Autel MaxiDas is another one that works well also. Post the codes you get when you do a scan, I am wondering if you have a broken wire somewhere. The coils all share a common communication line with the ECU so it’s possible there could be a break in the harness.

That what I got for the ABS module from the alfaOBD ? .. Rear left phonic wheel general signal failure..

Try running a PROXI configuration. It's under the BCM. It might resolve the steering sensor code and the network codes.

28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics / MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) / Diagnosis and Testing

C0036-02-LEFT REAR TONE WHEEL - GENERAL SIGNAL FAILURE

When Monitored and Set Conditions

When Monitored: This diagnostic runs continuously when the following conditions are met:

•Ignition on.
•Vehicle speed.


Set Conditions:

•Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module detects periodic drops of a Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) signal.


Default Actions:

•ABS is disabled.

Possible Causes


LEFT REAR TONE WHEEL/BEARING DAMAGE
IMPROPER LEFT REAR TIRE PRESSURE/MISMATCHED TIRES
AXLE SHAFT FASTENER HARDWARE
DIRTY TONE WHEEL/SENSOR

Did you fix the ABs light on?
If your ABS light is on get it scanned and please post the code numbers. There are lots of possible codes and you can do a proper diagnosis or waste money throwing parts at it.

Helps if you copy the correct numbers. There are hundreds of possible codes.
Looks like the correct code numbers are :
C0020-35
U0125-00
U0420-00

If this is too complicated for you, take it somewhere because this is probably not DIY.

Is the ORC active on the bus?

Yes

•Go To 3

No

•Perform the U0151-87 Lost Communication with ORC diagnostic procedure. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Body Control (BCM) - Diagnosis and Testing).


3.ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

1. Replace the Anti-Lock Brakes System (ABS) Module in accordance with the Service Information. (Refer to 08 - Electrical/8E - Electronic Control Modules/MODULE, Anti-Lock Brake System - Removal) .

2. Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure).

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

•Go To 2

No

•The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires.

Hello all. The ABS and traction control light could be a hub assembly. I've had this happen to me on several cars I've owned. From Ford to Honda. 75% of the time, it was the right front hub assembly.

Hub sensors have different codes. The ABS module is usually very specific when it sets a code.
