You hop in, turn the key, and your dash
0:02
says chassis control system error, and
0:04
the car either won't start or it starts
0:05
weird, and every camera and stability
0:07
light is acting up. Don't panic. This
0:11
usually means the stability/chass
0:13
control system lost communication with
0:15
something it needs, and the usual
0:17
culprits are simple. Weak battery or a
0:19
loose terminal, a bad wheel speed or yaw
0:22
sensor, damaged wiring or connectors, or
0:24
a module communication fault. Start with
0:27
power because it's the cheapest and
0:28
fastest thing to check. Pull the hood,
0:31
check the battery voltage, and make sure
0:33
the battery terminals are tight and
0:34
clean. A battery test at a shop or a
0:37
carbon pile test will tell you if the
0:38
battery holds a load. If the battery is
0:40
weak or the connections are corroded,
0:42
replace or clean and tighten them and
0:44
try again. If the battery checks out,
0:47
scan for codes with an OBD2 scanner that
0:50
reads body and chassis systems. You're
0:52
looking for wheel speed sensor codes,
0:54
yaw rate sensor faults, or communication
0:57
errors to the chassis control module.
0:59
Those codes point you to where to poke
1:01
next instead of guessing. Sometimes a
1:04
temporary disconnect or a module reboot
1:06
clears the fault. So, try disconnecting
1:08
the negative battery terminal for a few
1:10
minutes, reconnecting, and then
1:12
rescanning. If codes come back, focus on
1:15
the sensor or the wiring harness for
1:17
that code. Inspect wiring harnesses and
1:20
connectors near the ABS sensors, under
1:22
the wheel wells, and around the chassis
1:24
control module. Look for rubbed wires,
1:26
water intrusion, or corroded pins. Those
1:29
are common on Rogues and can create
1:31
intermittent faults after rain or a
1:32
wash. If a sensor tests out of range,
1:35
replace it with an OEM equivalent part
1:37
and secure any repaired wiring with
1:38
proper terminals and heat shrink. If
1:41
multiple sensors or communications are
1:42
failing, the chassis control module
1:44
itself or a software update from the
1:46
dealer might be required. Wrap up on
1:48
screen by saying what you did. Checked
1:51
and tightened battery terminals, tested
1:53
or replaced the battery if needed,
1:55
scanned and read codes, inspected and
1:57
repaired any damaged wiring or sensors,
1:59
and cleared codes to confirm the fix.
2:02
Recommend a follow-up. If the error
2:04
persists after those steps, take it to a
2:06
shop or dealer with the code list.
2:07
Replacing modules or doing software
2:09
updates is best left to pros. Finish
2:12
confident. Most of the time, a battery
2:14
or a sensor or wiring issue is the root
2:16
cause. And fixing that gets the rogue
