SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. |
Note. Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB). A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), also known as CHECK ENGINE light can be used, but has limited diagnostic capability.
The self-diagnostic capabilities of this system, if properly utilized, can simplify testing. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors several different engine control system circuits.
If a problem is sensed with a monitored circuit, PCM memory stores a trouble code, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) glows and PCM enters limp-in mode. In limp-in mode, PCM compensates for component failure by substituting information from other sources. This allows vehicle operation until repairs can be made.
Test circuits and repair or replace components as required. If problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels trouble code after approximately 50 ignition on/off cycles on all models except LH body. On LH body, PCM cancels trouble code after approximately 50-100 ignition on/off cycles.
A specific trouble code results from a particular system failure. A trouble code does not condemn a specific component; component is not necessarily the reason for failure. Trouble codes only call out a probable malfunction area.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing, perform a visual inspection before beginning self-diagnostic tests.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Note. DO NOT skip any steps in self-diagnostic tests or incorrect diagnosis may result. Ensure self-diagnostic tests apply to engine being tested.
If no trouble codes were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION . Enter on-board diagnostics, and retrieve trouble code(s) using MIL or scan tool. See ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS . If trouble codes are not present and/or scan tool is used, proceed to TEST TC-1A . Perform indicated VERIFICATION PROCEDURE test after repairs. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DIRECTORY table.
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
Note. Although other scan testers are available, manufacturer recommends using DRB (Diagnostic Readout Box) to diagnose the system. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), also known as CHECK ENGINE light function can be used, but has limited diagnostic capability.
Scan Tool Diagnostic Mode
- Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) table for connector location. (Scheme 1) DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) Application DLC Location Concorde, Intrepid, LHS, New Yorker & Vision Right Of Steering Column, Next To Center Console
- Start engine (if possible). With foot on brake, move transmission shift lever through all positions, ending in Park. Turn A/C switch on and then off (if equipped).
- Turn engine off. Without starting engine again, turn ignition on. Using scan tool, access and record trouble codes.
- When scan tool trouble code message is obtained, refer to appropriate test number. To clear trouble codes, see CLEARING TROUBLE CODES.
Scheme 1
CLEARING TROUBLE CODES
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. |
- If scan tool is not available, go to next step. If scan tool is available, follow prompts to erase trouble codes.
- Trouble codes may be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable for at least 15 seconds, allowing PCM to clear trouble codes.
INACTIVE TROUBLE CODE CONDITION
This procedure applies if you have been sent here from diagnostic charts and have just attempted to simulate the condition that initially set the trouble code. The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem
- Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
- Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).
