Yes
Yes, a rear-end accident can potentially damage the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) of a vehicle. The PCM is responsible for managing engine functions and transmission operations, and if the impact is severe enough, it can cause physical damage to the module or disrupt its electrical connections. Additionally, vibrations and jolts from the collision can lead to faults in the PCM's internal components. It's advisable to have a thorough inspection after any significant accident to assess potential damage to electronic systems.
The ABS light might have come on after a rear end collision on a 1997 Aerostar because part of the brake mechanism was damaged in the collision. It is also possible that the ABS light came on because the rim was bent in the collision.

Yes, engine mounts can be damaged in a rear-end collision. The impact can transmit forces through the vehicle's structure, potentially causing stress or misalignment of the engine mounts. This damage may not be immediately visible, but it can lead to issues with engine stability and increased vibrations. It's important to have the vehicle inspected after such an incident to assess any potential damage.
