Chrysler Cirrus 1999

Hi guys,

since 5 days I own an Chrysler Cirrus LX (1999, 2,4ltr, automatic transmission). I wonder whether this car has anti-lock break system (ABS). There is no panel light (to show function/malfunction) or switch to activate/deactivate. I did a full breaking at 30mph for a break test but I could not feel the typical "rattle" of active ABS. So my question is: should the Cirrus has ABS and how to check whether it is functional?

The second question is about the computer codes. I read the page at

but I'm not able to read the codesusing the methods described there. All I can do is activate the gaugecheck (turn ignition on while pressing the trip button). This test runsfine and finished after 4 different checks with "End". Did it meanthere are no failure codes? Or what shall I do to read the computercodes in the right manner? Last but not least, the power window from the left rear door won't work neither using the switch in driver door nor using the rear seat door switch itself. So I assume, that the motor is stuck. Any other possibilities (all the other power windows are doing well)? Is it easy for me to change the defective motor or should I go to the repair shop?

Thanks for your attention and sorry my bad english, I'm not a native speaker. Greetings max

Check it as you did, first the bulb test on start up, then if you are still not satisfied you can give me the last 9 of the vin and I can check what options the vehicle was built with when I get to work.

Hello Glenn, thank you for helping me. I did the bulb check (I assume you mean "Check 2" where all the bulbs come up sequentially) but no "ABS" light is offered. May be the bulb is dead or there is no light? I don't know... However here are the last 9 digits of the VIN:

7xn687266

Thanks in advance.

Greetings max.

Hi Glenn,

at first I want to thank you for your reply. As mentioned in my first post, I owned this car now since a week (to be honest: since 6 days *g*). Should I go to the Chrysler shop to ask for the recall? Could it be a problem that I'm in Berlin/Germany? May be they don't know nothing about a recalll? Anyway, asking is for free :-) This car was imported 7 years ago straight from Canada and was not original sold from Chrysler in Germany.

As you have big knowledge about the Cirrus, could you help me for the other things too (power window, reading computer codes)? This would be fine :-)

However, thank you again. max.

You may wish to check in the owner's manual to see if there is a card to indicate a new owner. Complete the card and mail it in. This way, you can be notified of any other recalls.

I am curious, did you have to change out the headlamps to comply with the German lighting requirements?

I don't know whether the headlamps are changed, because I'm the second owner of this car since it's here in Germany. But I think it would be done. However it is still equipped with Daytime Running Lamps, which are not required here in Germany. I noticed an additional switch for turning-on the special fog-taillight, which is a must-have in Germany. Since my car has already an ordinary vehicle registration I assume that anything is OK concerning the lights. :-)

Greetings max.
