2004 Chrysler Sebring - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Why brakes pulsate when slowing down?
most probable cause if the braking action is moderate is warped disc rotors
the warped disc pushes the piston in and out and that is the sensation at the pedal
if it is under sever braking , it will be the action of the ABS loosing and making pressure to stop wheel skid
get a proper diagnosis from an accredited brake specialist shop
if the discs are warped but within machinable limits , that may fix it for a while , otherwise get quality discs

Cooling fan not working
Relays/fuses , connectors and wiring , any one of those can be bad, broken or corroded . Also the ECT engine coolant temp sensor can be faulty and not reading hot enough to command fan/s on .
Why is it in limp mode and what can I do to fix it?
Limp home mode is triggered when the management ECU recognises a fault. The fault is not usually obvious and diagnosis usually starts with a code read and probably an examination of live data with a scan tool.
The faulty item should then be removed and tested and repaired or replaced and then the recorded fault code cleared and the live data rechecked to verify a good repair.
Often even after a repair has been completed limp mode will continue until the code has been cleared with diagnostic equipment.
What does error code P0040 mean on a 2004 Chrysler Sebring touring
O2 sensors connections for the front sensors are swapped, open (cut) or shorted out. The PCM may be bad if the sensors and wiring are ok.
If you recently worked on the sensors check your wiring. If not, You probably have a bad O2 sensor or the wiring is at fault.
