#2 Jeep Cherokee had a leaking brake cylinder, I fixed it Sun is the Butt numbing cold. The front still worked so I could get around safely.

And #3 Our third brake issue, the ABS light just came on on my wife\'s Caravan. I think its a wheel sensor, but I don\'t know which one. So... does any one have a scantool? I saw on line that the core reader might not be enough. Is that true?

If it is anything like my \'07 Wrangler...no.   A regular scantool won\'t tell you which wheel is bad.

I ended up taking it to Brockport Transmission to have them find out which was bad.

I wish someone around here had a DRB.  None that I know of though.  I could really use one for my WJ project.

Light went out next day, I had replaced a wheel hub a few weeks ago so I may have damaged the ABS sensor. but it hasn\'t been back on since. How much is a DRB? Is it a dealer only tool or do most independent repair shops have them?

7K WTF! *soap box* If you can\'t fix something you don\'t own it. So is it Chrysler F#$%Ing strategy to build failure into they product and charge an arm and a leg for scan tool and repair manuals! The repair manual the the minivan is around 170$ WTF!

arent FSMs for anything 150-200 unless pirated? I know I spent that much on the Bentley manual  for my Dub.

I also spent $300 some on an OBD II scan tool that would talk to everything in that car - made by a third party.  DRBs are not cloned that I know of though.  And VAG-COM won\'t talk to my Chryslers past standard OBD II protocols.
