On a good many vehicles, the two systems work together so it’s likely you have a common fault. One strong possibility is a bad wheel speed sensor. A good mechanic with hands on the vehicle can tell you for sure.

Your car is basically a Fiat so the fault you see could be caused by a cigarette lighter fuse or low windshield washer fluid, too. 🤪

Good trick since Chrysler and Fiat didn’t merge until 2014.

A decent consumer-grade code reader will read ABS codes, which is where to start if you are going to attempt to repair this yourself.

Oops, You are correct. The 2010 Chrysler 200 was based on a Sebring chassis which was based on a Mitusbishi design. The 2015 Chrysler 200 was based on the Fiat.
