New edge owner/DSM guy

[CrackedDSM]

Hey guys, newbie here. Been a dsmer since I was like 16, have had fast DSMs and done a lot with them. Still have two DSMs currently(98 eclipse gsx manual, 95 talon Tsi awd auto) and my first foray into a different world is the edge sport. 2015 Ford Edge Sport, tuxedo black(which I adore). It’s LMS E30 tuned, with a K&N drop in filter and nothing else. She moves really well(0-60 in 4.8 seconds, dragy verified, with traction issues. lol) and I enjoy the hell out of it. 

 

However there’s a reason I’m here along with meeting new people. My dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree with stability control off, traction off, and park assist/lane assist failures. Replaced the rear abs sensor didn’t fix it. I pulled codes with my livernois tuner, and got U0415, abs control module fault code. 

 

My question, can a faulty abs control module really affect all those things? Or is it a deeper issue? Any tips?

 

thanks for having me!

Welcome to the forum, sorry I cannot help with your questions.

What's a DSM?

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

DSM = Diamond Star Motors (Mitsubishi)

 

Welcome, CrackedDSM!  I don't see a code U0145 (invalid data) listed for the ABS, maybe the connector is loose/dirty?  What made you replace that particular sensor?  Battery may be suspect also.

 

EDIT:  BTW, there is a recall on 2015-2016 MYs for the ABS, but as a result of faulty reprogramming

with 2015 models....make sure you didnt get a water logged edge.  I could see that causing all kinds of electrical/computer anomalies.

Thanks for the welcome fellas.  As mentioned above, DSM is just an abbreviation for Diamond Star Motors.  Joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi.  DSMs are the 1990-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse

1990-1998 Eagle Talon

1990-1994 Plymouth Laser

 

Mitsu/Chrysler did more joint venture cars but only Diamond Star Motors built in Normal, IL were the cars mention above.

I'm an idiot.  I meant to type U0415.  Dislexia, my bad!  And I didn't replace the sensor, some inept dealership did when I took it to them to have my hatch locking mechanism replaced and get my A/C recharged, and told them I had ABS/other lights on.  So they just threw parts at it, including a right rear ABS sensor(which it did have a code for, to be fair), but fixed nothing except the rear hatch.  I didn't know about the recall though, definitely worth checking out! I legit thought it might've been the right rear ABS sensor because my wife curb checked a corner pretty hard.  I'm wondering if it's the ABS module though, now.  I at first thought it was an ABS tone ring issue(cracked from the curb check), but the code for right rear ABS hasn't re-appeared and has been replaced by the ABS module not communicating code.  So who knows.

Haha, for sure!  First thing I did was check to see if the RTV goop had been applied to the inner fender and it has been.  When it rains theres some fogging inside the cabin, but no puddles thankfully.  Being a DSM guy I research like CRAZY on everything I can before I ask any kind of questions.  On the old school DSM forums you'd get trolled and abused endlessly if you asked a question that had been answered a million times before.

I too had a 1991 laser rs turbo...(one of the dsm 3)....with hks intake, wastegate, and exhaust.   Crazy torque steer....fun car to drive.  But my 2015 edge sport with lms 93 aggressive would destroy my laser!

Yeah, the FWD DSMs are a riot to drive but you'll spend so much money getting them to properly hook up. 

 

AWD is the way to go.  On a basic 16G setup and pump gas, 11's aren't out of the question on a stock long-block.  If the car is auto, even easier.  16G, injectors/fuel pump/AFPR, Intercooler, intake, exhaust, a solid tune, maybe some 272 cams, done.  My 98 Eclipse ran 12's on the stock 1st Gen turbo(little bigger than the stock turbo on the 95-99 models), intake, turbo back exhaust, front mount IC and a tune that I did myself.  I love the platform, and it's super easy to make them fast, but it's hard to put a baby seat in the back of one.  That, and the older I get the more I want something that does everything.  Seat 4+ people, goes decently quick, is quiet, has a great stereo, and is still ACTIVELY SUPPORTED by the manufacturer.  DSM parts are getting beyond rare, and the few examples left are exorbitantly priced. I enjoy my Edge quite a lot.  I still enjoy my DSMs, but if it tells you anything the Eclipse hasn't been touched in over a year(needs to be restored from the idiot I sold it to screwing it up), and my Talon has been on jackstands for like...3.  Lol.  

 

 

Plus, being able to pass by a cop and not even get looked at twice is worth its weight in GOLD.
