2007 Chrysler sebring PROBLEMSSSSSS

Wow. Usually you can get lucky. Fix a couple things and all the codes go away. But this car is all over the place. I would not even try to fix this one. Maybe it can catch fire on the way home and buy a new one.

from what I was reading on the other forums is that the BCM can cause problem inside the car like lights and horns and other things but with the BCM communication with the ECM and the ignition doing the no start and then the continue to run thing drew me to the BCM but the trans axel computer do its thing leads me to the ECU. The ecu taks readings from the BCM so if the BCM is failed might cause the problem but if the ECU has failed the TCM would also be affected I believe. ARGHHHHHHH it is a good thing I'm bald or I would not have hair.

1. Check CAN data line communication. With all of the wiring on a vehicle it is not uncommon to have circuits that either short to power or ground. The common shorts to power or ground can be caused by relays or actuators, components like alternators, or a wire that has worn through the insulation and is allowing current to travel where it was not meant to. When diagnosing a CAN data issue a complete understanding of the communication network map is essential. NO guessing...$$$ Determining which module is the master will allow you to make sure that the master is getting power and is able to send the signal to the other modules in order to activate them. With the advent of CAN data buses another type of short can occur which will create situations where modules cannot communicate or have drive ability issues, and even no-starts. One of the problems with diagnosing CAN data shorts is that since there is not a lot of current traveling through the communication lines, typical signs of shorted wires such as blown fuses or burned wires are not a common indicator of where the short is located, or even which module the problem is located in. Make sure you have these basic tools (shown below) or I suggest referring this service to another tech.

well took it to autozone had them throw their battery tester on the car mine is not as nice as theirs. battery tested out fine. had them also check the charging system also checked out fine. so brought it back to my shop. started doing wiggle test. nothing out of the ordenary there. but here is what I found. banged on the fuse box and car stalled. so pulled the fuse box up attached to the box is the TIPM or "Totally Integrated Power Module" gave it a checked all the wiring and all look fine no breaks and all plugs are tight. started car and shook tipm and car died again. flipped tipm over and started car again now car running at 1200 1400 RPM. I'm guessing I have a TIPM falure which would be understandable when it controls the flow of power to all the other computers.

Ecm is throwing false codes check connections if connections check out software in the pcm/ecm needs flashing. Also look for bad ground clusters drivers strut tower, near evap solenoid

Did u figure out the problem?

sounds like a bad PCM or ECM just as moparman78028 said
