This happened to me and when I turned the car off. Everything was back to normal. The code reader said two O2 sensors were bad and I had a misfire on all cylinders. It did make the gadge cluster flicker and the van eventually cut off. The next day I drove it no problems, so I tried this,just in case and I thought it was fine. Later that night on a delivery all the lights came back as I was doing about 45mph. So I tried this and haven't had a problem yet. Fingers crossed. Thank you!
I'm confused...first he said, 1) shut car off. 2)put in neutral 3) turn car back on but, when he actually did it..1) put in neutral 2) shut car off 3) turn car back on Which order for those that it worked?
Would you ask your mechanic friend if it is possible to completely turn off the ABS, traction control, and BAS on a 2009 VW Routan 3.8? It keeps turning on automatically and is causing this horrible sound periodically until the system finally shuts itself off only to come back on when I restart the van. I do believe that the wheel speed sensor is faulty but I can’t afford to fix it right now and every time the system turns on automatically it is causing more damage and problems. I don’t have anyone to ask and you mention having a really good friend who is excellent at what he does and I thought I would ask.
This just helps you reset the sensors If the sensors are bad, they have to be replaced or your traction control doesn’t work The Dodge caravans are pretty decent cars, but they’re really bad on gas you’re not gonna get more than 14 to 16 miles per gallon
Yeah I would suggest doing this in a very big empty parking lot. You not only lose power steering you lose all steering. The steering wheel literally will lock when the key is in the off position and if you have trouble getting it back into the on position cuz you're not usually doing this you could be in big trouble on a road. Besides that have fun.
Usually some thing is wrong when it keeps coming back That really means that something has to be This method is meant just to reset it more than anything else
My lights came on at 75 mph and went off after I hit the traction control button. However, the lights are back so, I will give this a shot and we'll see what happens. Thanks for the great video!
I have a 2008 T&C. Lights would come on over 12 mph. Tried this suggestion, lots of experimenting, maybe 20 attempts. I think this combo finally worked: First, I found an empty parking lot, Sunday evening, after hours. While moving at about 10-15 mph, put shifter in Neutral. Turn the key full OFF (all dash lights out). Wait 2-3 seconds. Turn key ON (not START) for a few seconds till most of the dash light "tests" go out. Getting ABS/BAS/ESP lights to stay off took me a few attempts. Might have to keep key OFF a little longer to clear the warning lights -- AND REMEMBER: with the engine OFF, you're rolling with no power steering/power brakes, so be sure to have plenty of straight empty space ahead. While still rolling, with warning lights out, turn key to START. Put shifter in Drive and keep the vehicle under 10 mph for about 8 min. That seemed to "retrain" my sensors, so far. I didn't try the "shut off, wait 15 minutes" others suggested, and that might have worked, too. I didn't try a cold start with no warning lights and just driving under 10 mph for 10 min (I don't know if this would work, but it would avoid the dangerous rolling with the engine OFF stuff). Please be safe. Do this with lots of empty space. Also, this won't fix a failed sensor, electrical short, mechanical issue, etc. Hope something easy works for you!
Could you help me out? I'm desperate! My Grand Caravan 2010 3.3. was working just great! I took it to the mechanic to have the rear break paths and distribution chain replaced. They gave me the truck back with three major failures. The ESP OFF is permanently deactivated, the code P0344 is permanently on and now the transmission doesn't go beyond 3rd gear and Cruise control is not working. I told the mechanic that the problem was in the distribution area. He removed the new distribution parts and ended up telling me that those were not the good replacement parts. So he mounted again the old parts and they "reprogrammed" the entire vehicle but the problem continues. ESP OFF and Check engine related to p0344 code continue to appear. And the transmission is a mess. I don't know exactly what they did with my truck but it's now useless. Please help anybody.
I do this when it won't shift to 4th gear . And goes back to shifting normal. Obviously you need to take it to honest mechanic. But to make it home . avoid towing fees..
My advice is to be patient. I first tried it three times...didn't work. Came back and read more of the comments...tried it several more times no results. Then I disconnected the battery for 15 minutes still no change. Then I read the post about letting it run for awhile and making sure you turn the key all the way to off. After that took it out and on the third time it worked. Drove it around for awhile and the lights never came back on. A total of 14 times but it finally worked.
Final report.....It's been over three weeks, driven the van almost 500 miles and the lights are still off. I even spun the tires once a week ago on wet pavement but they didn't come back on. Final report because at 263,251 miles we've donated it and bought a new vehicle. Kind of a sad day.
@@tedjohnson5639 please mention the exact steps before you turn the engine off to restarting..at what point do you put the car in neutral? Hope it doesnt damage the transmission
I thank God for this video! I'm pretty sure you just solved my problem that I thought could be the module. So happy you saved me so much money thank you
2007 Dodge Nitro (jeep liberty big brother). Had this problem for 3-4 days out of nowhere. Drove local street 30 mph and put into N and turned ignition off so engine stopped running. Let it roll a few secs then started the car while still rolling. 2 days later problem has not returned. This can work if your car doesn't have any bad sensors or wiring.
Which Dodge Vehicle did you fix and how long did you have this problem before finding this video? I'm going to try this today but I don't have the truck with me as I'm watching this and commenting.
I have had these lights for a really long time. It's 4am and I came across this video. Took my 2009 for a quick spin and had no luck I tried multipletimes times at different speeds. However, I did not tourn the key all the way to the off position. I'll try that in the morning. Thanks for sharing it seems that it works for a lot of people.
@@haroldestevez4803 Darn, it isn't working for me either. I was hoping that you might have some insight into a trick that you might have tried. Thank you for letting me know! 👍
I fixed mine by being in neutral and parking brake set, and pushing the brake pedal all the way down to the floor 5-10 times. Vehicle needs to be running while these actions are performed.
Didn't work on my dodge nitro ! Was out for about 35 minutes straight trying it with the hope that it might work on that one last time and be a success story I could tell the future grandkids.... that one last time never came 😥😅😅 Well back to the drawing board
Super funny Jaime. I was planning to try this on my Nitro as well but now I won't get my hopes up. What's really annoying is that one minute you drive with no problem. The next time you start driving these lights come on and you didn't do anything to create this problem.
@@MarketingCoachKen yeah it's super frustrating. For me it turned out to be a front passenger side wheel speed sensor that had actually somehow snapped and frayed apart and so when one of the 4 wheel speed sensors go it makes the car play up with a whole array of weird problems. For me it still drive okay but the ABS and traction control lights where constantly up on the the dash and it also knocks out the cruise control for some reason. After the garage replaced the sensor it was back to normal again.
@@MarketingCoachKen but saying that it can also be the TIPM that's playing up.... that's the little electrical circuit control board under the hood that controls all of the sensors and electronics for the car.... And it's quite the common and well known problem on the dodge that the TIPM plays up. Iv actually got a TIPM override system that you just plug in to the TIPM... literally just fits like a glove on to the circuit board And all of these people having problems with they're dodges windows going up and down and the horn going off on its own and the headlights flashing on there own or just randomly not starting and then starting again etc etc can be avoided with this TIPM override system. so you'll never experience any of that crap!

How does one get to the off position in neutral without destroying your key or your ignition because mine won't do it unless it's in park?
Thank u so much u saved me lot of money…
Nice
My 08 dodge Grand caravan went into limp mode and all the letters ( P R N D L) had a box around it. Does anyone know how to fix it

How do you put the car in neutral from drive as moving
Just push the lever up If you’re not sure get somebody who is more experienced

Hoe about a empty parking lot
Currently experiencing this problem and will be trying this TODAY. thanks for uploading this
All right, so unfortunately this did not work for me. Tried it 4x and the lights came on every time.
If you tried it, and it still doesn’t work, that means more than likely the sensors are bad and something has to be changed/fixed
@@MONSTER-sf5il is it important to get it fixed? What happens if you dont
I've done it three times and it eventually comes on again :'( help!

That yellow light is mean your tire air very low I have that problem when you put air some air it turn off light him self 👍
I did this on accident found this out amazing thanks
Has ur vehicle ever shaked at 45 or 55
No But it sounds like its your tires
Mine ended up being a bad speed sensor for the left front wheel. $20 later and I was on the road again. 🙂

You need a mechanic to Scan the Computer and identify the defective part/wiring issue so it can be replaced.
This does not work.
this applies to vw routan as well.
