On the right it has the ESP off(car w/ squiggly lines) and below that is says BAS.  ON the left is says ABS.

I got sidways making a turn and then the dash board lit up like a Christmas tree.

Did I totally disable the ESP?

Since you didn't mention it I assume you didn't disable ESP on purpose.

That could be a Tire Pressure Sensor (TPS) issue.

In my prevoius chrysler vehicles any time there is wheel slip detected the esp/bas light would flash letting you know that the system is working. I assume that the charger would be the same but I can check the manual when I get home.

That's correct 73dart.

Was it just the lights flashing BB3796?  If so then your torque management was on and it wasn't disabled.

If those lights are on solid it's probably a TPS issue.

I filled all tires with air and still the lights are solid on.

What is TPS?  Also My super chips is set to reduced torque managment.

TPS - Tire Pressure Sensor

Yes SuperChips has a setting to reduct torwue management but it doesn't disable it, I don't believe SuperChips is the issue here.

But the TPS is not lit up?  It was and I corrected that but it did not correct the traction control and ABS.  My ABS is not working I tried it yesterday.  The car skid a good 10 feet before stopping.  Just locked them up.

If your esp, bas & abs lights are on then check cruise control, I bet it doesn't work.  If that is the case there is a TPS in one of you wheels that isn't working properly.

Is that under warranty?  Also how would i know which one is bad?

I would assume it's covered.

Unfortunately the PCM doesn’t itemize the TPSs so as far as I know it's trial and error to find out which one is bad.  Maybe a tech at the dealership can tell if they hook up a starscan.

Look at it this way... you have a 25% chance of getting it the first try, from there the odds get better with each guess

My TPS light is on but none of the others. I checked my pressure and one of the tires is at 44 and all the others are at 30. Will the one at 40 cause the light to be on. I get it back from paint today or tomorrow and will deflate the ont tire back down to 30 to match the others.

Have you checked fuses?  I'm thinking of the famous fuse 17.  It would disable ESP, TCS and ABS but I'm not certain if that would give the rest of the indications.  If I disable ESP with my Predator tuner, it lights up a bunch of warning lights.  Since this happened suddenly in the middle of a more extreme maneuver, maybe HAL threw in the towel.

It's a quick check that wouldn't hurt and could be a cheap fix.

73dart, Since your TPS light came on indicating there was a pressure issue with a tire then all your TPSs are working fine.  I don't know all the specifics of how TPS works but if one tire sensor is sending data to the PCM that doesn't match the others then one would think that would set off the warning light.

BB3796, did you verify if your cruise control was working?

When one or more of the TPS sensors fail; ESP, Mr Squigly & ABS lights up and cruise control will not work.  That's how DCX programed the PCM to act in that situation.

Me thinks there is waaaaaaaaaaay too much technology in these cars these days.  Anyone ever heard the phrase "Keep it simple, stupid!"  DCX obviously didn't want to keep it simple.
