Default it all started with the abs!!!

The other night i hit a pretty big rock in the road which cause my abs to come on. A bit down the road, all my gages flatlined and the battery light flashed, as well as the security, low fuel and whatever else possible it could do. About 30 seconds later the cluster started going up and down and then finally cleared itself and off went the abs sensor. Now it does it every time you crank the motor once the motors gotten cold. Anyone ever experienced this problem and if soooooo any suggestions on what could be screwing up??? Checked all the fuses and changed the blown ones, changed the ground wire to the frame, next is too change the abs sensor but dont feel like doing that if i dont have tooooo.....let me know
thanks

Something similar happened to me, but it was in an older dodge pickup. I ran over a parking curb thing that was hidden under some snow. It caused my battery tie-down strap to break, and the battery tipped over, grounding both of the top mount terminals to the truck. All the gauges flashed, the speedometer freaked out, and the truck idled very slowly. I don't think it caused any serious damage as everything went back to normal once I turned the battery into its correct position.

I can not say for sure though, since that truck caught on fire a few weeks later. (from a cracked fuel pump that spit fuel all over the exhaust manifolds)


Whenever I reflash my pcm, it goes through that "start-up" thing, possibly similar to what you described. All the lights flash, the DIC flashes with some messages, abs light turns on and off. Maybe your pcm is resetting everytime you turn your truck off?

You ever see the end of the car chase in the Blues Brothers?
