    ABS Issue When you hit a bump

    Sounds like a bad sensor... that is going open circuit on the bump. Someone with a DRBIII (your dealer) could tell you which sensor it is, and just replace it. Probably have to order the part anyway, so just scan the car, order part, replace. If it is more major there should be a code in...

    08 Viper Starts Then Turns Off What's Wrong?

    The system does not "arm" the alarm, it is only meant to immobilize the vehicle if someone was to attempt to jimmy the column... and it must do this "passively" which is why there is a timer, and not input from you the driver.

    08 Viper Starts Then Turns Off What's Wrong?

    That is the passive immobilizer... it is standard on all Canadian 08-09 cars. Yes, the starter is disabled if the engine was not powered up while the body controller is unlocked. If you key on during the "go" time the engine may crank, but it will not stay running unless the body controller...

    Whats this noise?

    The Purge Solenoids in Gen IV's shouldn't tap... they are no longer duty cycle purge as in prior Gens... it is now a linear purge solenoid and should be nearly silent. (No "hammering" like before)

    05 viper locking problem

    It sounds like the car is in "factory storage mode"... which is enabled by the IOD fuse being in the SHIP position. The IOD fuse is the one with the little black plastic cage around it. The storage mode forces the BCM into sleep mode, which requires a door handle push to wake up in that case...

    Locked out of my 05 SRT10 Help

    The "underhood" trick is only for popping the trunk... not the doors. That would be a bad rumor to spread. Your dealer can give the key code to any real locksmith to crank out a key... actually it's not a bad idea to keep a copy of the key code number for yourself for just such a situation...

    ABS Light

    There are two "main" fuses and then an ignition feed... There is a 30amp and a 40amp that both need to be functional. They both feed the ABS unit via 12ga wire. They are both direct battery feeds (pins 9 and 24), so just (carefully) probe the connector at the ABS module with the battery...

    ABS Light

    You need a dealer to disengage the in-plant mode and the dinging will cease. I doubt the snap on tool has the option to disengage that warning... but maybe it does. Look for "in-plant test bit set" or something like that. The service manual simply states that red brake light is for...

    ABS Light

    Did you replace the ABS module? The constant dinging sounds like the module is stuck in "in-plant" mode.

    ABS Light

    Is the light staying on? If it is only coming up at key on.... that's the bulb check routine.

    OBD Diagnostics

    The "three key flip" does work on Gen IV cars... but start from the "on" position.... most other chrysler products you start the procedure from the "off" position. You'll know you got it right when the odo changes to either "PXXXX" or just says "done". The done alone will show on a vehicle...

    OBD Diagnostics

    Remember pre-08 cars are J1850, and 2008 and newer are CAN bus based and require different tools. That's why the dealer has a DRBIII for Gen I through III, and has gone to StarScan for Gen IV

    Need a Wiring Diagram

    Whoops... 11 is a no connect... somehow I double typed it. The "flash" line is just that... it's the programming line for installing new software if needed. The speed line is an output that is needed on GENIII... On your GENII it is not needed as you get vehicle speed from the transmission...

    VIN no. info needed.

    Not necessarily... but for Viper which is a bit of a special case... the last five digits have started at 00001 since at least 2003. the first several dozen VINs are almost always engineering cars, and get crushed rather than sold. But there are exceptions where if the cars have significant...

    VIN no. info needed.

    The warrantee build date of your VIN is 9/15/08 which would make it quite early in the 2009 build at CAAP. 2009 Build started on 9/3/08 so yours is about week 2. Figuring 8 cars a day you could say yours is in the first one hundred built.

    Low tire ding

    Here is the excerpt for TPM from the service manual... note the wheel speeds listed... that's what engages the sensors. I believe they turn off after a period of inoperation to preserve the battery in each sensor. OPERATION The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system operates by monitoring...

    Low tire ding

    What I'm saying is that you must be really low pressure in order to get the light and have it turn off after 4 minutes of driving - Hot or cold... you'd have to have a "cold" pressure of under 23psi... What "cold" pressure are you running? If it is over say 25 pounds there is something other...

    Loooking for someone to do some custom Airbrush work.

    Best guy I know... kustomhaus.com Bob Soroka is a wonderful airbrust guy... he has done almost all of the custom viper work for the various VOI's / raffles, etc... also does awesome helmet work, etc...

    Low tire ding

    The TPM system is slightly different between the GEN III and GEN IV cars... GEN III (Runflats) - Low pressure is 20psi / Critical sounds at 14psi GEN IV - Low pressure is 23psi / Critical sounds at 18psi Regardless of how you "feel" about setting your tire pressures... physics dictates the...

    Need a Wiring Diagram

    The Speed Sensor signal is an output from the ABS module to the JTEC... That is basically an analog output that the JTEC uses to put vehicle speed onto the bus, the CCN cluster then uses that bus signal to drive the speedo. 1 GROUND 2 RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL 3 RIGHT REAR WHEEL...

    My GTS is losing a charge...

    You'll also note that if you leave the car unlocked with the alarm un-armed... it draws nearly a 1/4 amp... The current should be below 20-30mA when parked and locked. If the alarm isn't completely setting from a bad door switch or something... say if you see three blips instead of the good...

    2008 gearshift knob removal

    Same as on any third or fourth generation car... Remove the center cap, loosen the locknut, and then unscrew the ball... don't use anything sharp at the interface of the cap and leather, you could either cut the leather or scratch the cap. Use a nylon trim stick or something similar. Mark's...

    Does anyone have the link that has the PDF file for parts on the Viper?

    The Viper parts catalogs (1992-20008) are in the "illustrated upgrades" section of this website... I think they are even stickied so it's the first or second item. They are all available as nice PDF files...

    Trunk lid drops with a wing.

    There are two different rear deck gas struts from the factory for the 2008 and 2009's... on for no wing and one for wing equipped... Both available from your dealer. 05030099AC - With Wing (MXN option) 68033127AA - Without Wing So it's not too surprising that the deck sags with a big...

    03 Abs Light - Poss Module Failure?

    I'd be wary about replacing the ABS module unless you have also lost the speedometer... The ABS module reads the four corner sensors to determine vehicle speed. Actually it only uses the rear sensors for speedo, and all four for ABS function. If the speedo is working that indicates that the...
