SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

Note. Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB). If using a generic scan tool, ensure it is OBD-II certified. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

When ignition is first turned on, Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will illuminate for approximately 2 seconds to verify bulb and circuit operation, and then go off. The MIL (CHECK ENGINE light) is located on instrument panel.

Note. MIL cannot be used to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

When Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that affects vehicle emissions, MIL is illuminated. If a problem is detected by PCM, PCM sends a message over a Bus line to turn on MIL in instrument cluster.

Specific criteria must be met for PCM to store a DTC. Criteria may be a specific engine RPM range, coolant temperature or input voltage to PCM. PCM may not store a DTC even if a malfunction occurred. This may happen if specific criteria was not met for setting a DTC. As an example, if DTC criteria requires PCM to monitor a circuit only when engine is at 750-2000 RPM and a sensor is shorting when engine is operating at more than 2000 RPM resulting in zero voltage input to PCM, PCM will not store a DTC because malfunction occurred outside DTC criteria.

PCM will only illuminate MIL for failures which affect vehicle emissions. If MIL is on continuously, PCM has entered a limp-in mode, identified a failed emission component or system. MIL will remain on until cleared using scan tool. MIL will either remain on continuously or flash when PCM detects an active engine misfire. PCM will turn off MIL if

  1. PCM does not detect the malfunction for 3 consecutive trips (except for misfire and fuel system monitors).
  2. PCM does not detect a malfunction while performing 3 consecutive engine misfire or fuel system tests. PCM performs these tests when engine is operating within plus or minus 375 RPM of and within 10 percent engine load of operating condition when malfunction was first detected.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

If no faults were found while performing basic diagnostic procedures in the BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article, proceed with self-diagnostics. Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION .

VISUAL INSPECTION

Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections, improper wire routing, or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. Inspect all engine control system components, hoses, connectors and wiring for damage before proceeding with testing. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

  1. Attempt to start engine. Crank engine for up to 10 seconds (if necessary). Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are retrieved using a scan tool. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located at lower edge of instrument panel, near steering column. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read DTC message and code.
  2. If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, go to «TEST NS-6A: REPAIRING NO RESPONSE CONDITION»(ref-576-S37895541512000030800000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections and cable are okay, check voltage at cavity No. 16 on 16-pin DLC. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and necessary fuses. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  3. If scan tool displays an error message, (i.e. USER-REQUESTED COLD BOOT or USER-REQUESTED WARM BOOT), follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions. If any other error message is displayed, contact scan tool manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If DTCs are displayed, perform appropriate diagnostic test(s). See «DTC MESSAGES & CODES»(ref-576-S35197105972000030800000) table. Once all repairs are made, clear DTCs from PCM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-576-S01032862372000030800000) . If no DTCs are displayed, refer to one of the following: For driveability problems, perform «TEST NTC-1A: NO TROUBLE CODES (NTC) TESTS»(ref-576-S05337453382000030800000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. For No-Start problems, perform «TEST NS-SEL: NO START SELECTION MENU»(ref-576-S15228373722000030800000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. For speed (cruise) control problems, perform TEST SC-1A in the CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. For charging system problems, perform TEST CH-1A in GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Turn ignition off. Turn ignition on and follow scan tool screen prompts to erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Always perform indicated verification test after repairing vehicle.

INACTIVE TROUBLE CODE CONDITION

This procedure applies if you have been sent here from diagnostic tests and have just attempted to simulate the condition that initially set the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem

  1. Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  2. Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
  3. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSB).

  1. Using scan tool, erase DTCs and reset all memory values. If verification is for an A/C fault, verify A/C is operating during the road test.
  2. Turn ignition off for at least 10 seconds. Restart vehicle and run for 2 minutes. If starts since set and a good trip (when applicable) changed to one or more, stop. Repair is complete. If starts since did not set and good trip (when applicable) did not set, go to next step. Road test vehicle. Drive for at least 5 minutes, shift through all gears and attain at least 40 MPH. Stop once during trip and turn ignition off for 10 seconds or more. Restart engine and continue.
