Stellantis is letting a lot of people down with lack of support. Also that nasty rocker tick with no recall should be referred to the NTSB as it could become a safety issue. Look at Toyota - don't blink an eye when they decided to replace a pile of fairly new Tundra engines and the new Tacoma auto tranny if the CEL is on for it. Why can't Jeep manufacturers step up to the plate.

Must get some of this for my old 2007 2.8CRD
Just searched for this
Do you recommend the spray or it apparently comes in a tube !
I recommend the spray for cleaning. A little silicone grease will help keep moisture out.

Yeah I used that on the starter motor contact as its very exposed. Its just a 'blade' and a tiny plastic snap on bit of plastic on my 2.8 diesel.
You think it would be more substantial & weather proofed, considering where it is and function.

Default ABS Module

update, my contact cleaner fix eventually failed so I had my dealer install and initialize my new module. That was June 5 and I've had no recurrence of the waring lights.. I'm sort of in love again. I had what I thought was a transmission problem but the new module cured that too. something with the traction control I think was causing a hesitation at times but that's now gone. I recently read a history of Chrysler and because of their bankruptcy, buy outs and business ineptitude it is a miracle our Jeeps are still being made. And it's a total miracle that the Jeep brand is not a much worse vehicle than it is. It seems someone was always at least trying to look out for the automotive stepchild. Whether it was Kaiser, AMC, Chrysler, Mercedes, Renault or Fiat. The little brand that could always delivered a great return on investment for the manufactures. I have a JK and am very biased in thinking Mercedes did a decent job improving the concept and not fucking it up. (much). My opinion Fiat has gone electronics crazy. They should offer a tribute 2 door with a Hemi and stripped of as much electronics as feasible.to rescue their legacy. l l l l l l l > always

I'am gonna make it simple for everyone even for those who still don't understand the situation. The part number 68259556 AA AB AC AD don't really matter what letters are behind the number . Those mean manufacturer . The number is important is not available anymore several years and probably never gonna be available again. . You can still waste your time and go to the dealer like me and since I own mechanical shops in Florida my price was $224 plus $75 core as 8.25 2025 But they are on backorder for years so you can't get them ever. Period. So your only choice is used one which cost on ebay around $700-800 plus tax and they can go bad in anytime or brand new one aftermarket from China for around $800-$900 plus tax. The option to send them to.some module repair shop to be repaired is gone long time ago. I know them all. No module repair shop will work on those abs modules since they have no more parts for rebuilt them from the manufacturer. That's it . So China or used one from junk yard. Your only options. Nothing else . And if you think you can fix code C2200 different way then change get the module remember there is a database from mechanics who work on those codes and 2897 must always change the module and only one guy find the problem with corded pin in connector. So 99.99% is always module . Good luck

Each time, the code that came on (C2200) had one fix in the book: replace the module due to internal failure.

Before I spent the money on a new module, I thought I'd clean the harness connectors with DeOxit, and clean the ground point.
That fixed it for a few years.
The next time it came on, the previous steps didn't work. So, I did something different.
I noticed when I cleared the code, it would stay off until I drove the Jeep more than a few mph, then it would come back.
A search for my symptoms revealed what I thought would be a "too good to be true" simple fix.
Here's what worked:
Get the Jeep to an isolated road or parking lot.
Have one rear wheel on pavement, and the other rear wheel on dirt.
Clear the ABS code.
Punch the throttle so the wheel on the dirt spins to the point of traction control activation, before the Jeep hits a few mph. This will "reset" something in the ABS module before the code can reappear.
It worked for a lot of people in my search results, and it worked for me.
The ABS code and associated lights have not come back on since. That was a year or so ago.

Give this a try before spending any money.
Just checking in to see if this workaround is still holding?

Any suggestions on a reliable way to get one from China? I am fearful of sending the $$ and never seeing the part.

I had one episode of all the lights coming on and throwing the code C2200 since my post above. Again, spinning one rear tire fixed it.

Ok.. will give it a try. What search terms did you use to find this workaround on other searches or forums? I understand taking off the harness and cleaning the connectors, but what do you mean by ground point? I am going to have one shot at this when my kid comes home for Thanksgiving. Because finding the actual part is a real pain. .
