Is your car acting strange? A bad Chassis Control Module (CCM) can cause several problems. Here are some warning signs:
- ABS light is on
- Traction control light is on
- Service Stabilitrak message appears
- Brakes feel different or don't work right
- Vehicle speed sensor issues
How do you know if it's the CCM and not something else? Testing can help. A mechanic can use a scan tool to read codes from the CCM. They can also check the wiring and sensors connected to it. Sometimes, a bad wheel speed sensor or a faulty brake booster can cause similar symptoms. Proper diagnosis is key.
What causes a CCM to fail? Common reasons include:
- Water damage
- Electrical surges
- Vibration over time
- Corrosion
