Hi my dodge caliber 2008 SE is having ABS and handbreak lights blinking with beep sound and speedometer touching back to zero while running. Also power having power drop at the same time. Repeating this more while headlights on and high speed rpm. I have done the computer checkup. ABS is showing fine but there are some codes active and stored.

What are the codes?

I had a similar problem with my Caliber, it turned out to be a loose battery connection.

Clean and tighten your battery connections and all ground points that you can find.

After that, clear your codes, and drive the car.

If you still have problems, report all the symptoms and codes here.

Thanks John for the reply! I am attaching the error code screenshot here,

I will definitely try cleaning battery connection and tighten it. I feel some electrical short while turning lights on and indicators as well with speakers makes a tick sound.

NB: love the support on this forum

In addition to checking the battery terminals, you should go through and clean and tighten all the ground points: Here are all the ground point locations - check these...

Thanks, John! I have now cleaned -ve terminal of battery which had a loose contact and corroded condition. It is been a day since the cleaning and ABS/Break warning is not came. Will run and check for the same. I hope that is the issue and it is resolved now. Many thanks!
