Jeep Patriot & Grand Cherokee ABS light – Caused by ABS fault C2116

The hugely popular Jeep Grand Cherokee (2002-11) and the, now discontinued, Patriot (2007-17) models both have commonly failing ABS units. The fault manifests itself with the prevention of full emergency braking assistance and is usually the cause of your Jeep’s ABS and traction control light remaining on.

When met by the irritatingly illuminated ABS warning light on your Jeep Grand Cherokee or Patriot, you’ll want to have the vehicle checked diagnostically by a mechanic. When the Jeep is scanned with a diagnostic tool, the fault code C2116 - ABS Pump Motor Low Voltage will often be stored, and any attempt at clearing the code will be in vain, as the C2116 error code indicates a failure within the ABS pump and module itself.

Most manufacturers will seek to resolve this ABS and traction control warning light issue by purchasing a replacement part. However, this is expensive, stock may be on back-order and, actually, it is not the most effective solution. The original design flaw in the ABS has not been rectified at production-level, meaning all ABS units coming off the factory line will be susceptible to developing the C2116 error code again. Furthermore, you will only receive a 1-year warranty and you will also need to have the replacement unit coded to your Jeep Patriot or Grand Cherokee vehicle at an extra expense.

We offer a more cost-effective solution – a rebuild of your original ABS pump and module and we’ll give it an unlimited-mile lifetime warranty as standard. This method provides you with a fully-functioning unit and will likely eliminate that pesky ABS and traction control warning light on your Jeep Patriot or Grand Cherokee. For further peace-of-mind, it only takes 2-3 working days and you won’t even need to have it recoded when you receive it back!

Test and rebuild:

Every ABS pump we rebuild is tested on our bespoke HIL (Hardware In-the Loop) testing rig, both before and after the remanufacturing process. This method simulates real-world driving conditions including wheel speed, accelerometer input and braking pressure to make sure it can withstand any situation whilst you're behind the wheel! We also test the unit beyond operating parameters of the vehicle to ensure that the rebuilt ABS will outlast the vehicle.

Programming:

The ABS unit is coded to the vehicle on installation and whilst testing and rebuilding it, all information is retained. This means you can refit to your vehicle without the need for expensive re-coding.

The work we carry out is done so to the highest of standards, exemplified by our proud 0.49% defect rate across all rebuilds. As a result, many major dealerships trust us enough to use as their go-to service provider for high-quality rebuilds - all accompanied by an unlimited-mile lifetime warranty.
