  1. DTC IS ACTIVE Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Is the status Active for this DTC? Yes Go to 2 . No Refer to the «*CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#dtcs-u1417-to-u1418-checking-no-crank-and-no-start-condition-intermittent-dtc-component-checks-system-checks-checking-po) Diagnostic Procedure.
  2. IGNITION COIL OPERATION CAUTION: Do not allow the ignition coil to fire with the secondary circuit open. PCM driver failure may result. Install a spark tester whenever testing for spark or a cylinder misfire. Turn the ignition off. Remove the ignition coil. NOTE: Inspect the ignition coil and the spark plug insulator for damage or carbon tracking. If any problems are found, replace the ignition coil. NOTE: If the ignition coil is on a 6.1 L engine, the spark tester must be installed on both sides of the coil. Each side of the coil should output a crisp blue spark that jumps the gap of the spark tester during the test. Attach the spark tester to the ignition coil. Crank the engine and observe the spark tester. NOTE: A crisp blue spark that jumps the gap of the spark tester should be generated. Is a good spark generated? Yes Go to 8 .

  1. DTC IS ACTIVE Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Is the status Active for this DTC? Yes Go to 2 . No Refer to the «*CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#dtcs-u1417-to-u1418-checking-no-crank-and-no-start-condition-intermittent-dtc-component-checks-system-checks-checking-po) Diagnostic Procedure.

The PCM compares actual shutdown time to a calculated value, which is based on the amount the ECT should drop after a completely warmed up engine is shut down. If the difference is greater than a maximum value, a pending DTC will set.

  1. When Monitored: After a complete engine warm up then ignition off time of greater than 1 hour with a minimum ECT drop of 10 C (50 C), with the engine running, the difference between ECT and AAT above 10 C (50 F) and battery voltage above 10 volts
  1. Set Condition: If the measured shutdown time is significantly greater than an expected shutdown time based on how much the ECT has dropped, a one trip failure sets. If this happens again after another warm up and 1 hour engine off period, the MIL will set
Possible Causes
INTERMITTENT CONDITION
ENGINE COOLING CONDITIONS
ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE before proceeding.

  1. ENGINE COOLANT INSPECTION NOTE: This DTC will set if the engine cools quicker than it should compared to engine off times. If a hot engine is washed with the ignition off, a pending DTC may set. If the vehicle is parked in a highly ventilated area or has a large fan blowing on it which might cause the engine to cool quicker than expected, a pending DTC may set. WARNING: Do not remove or loosen the radiator cap with the system hot and under pressure. Serious burns from coolant can occur. Turn the ignition off. Allow the engine to cool enough to allow the pressure in the coolant system to drop enough to safely remove the radiator cap. Check the coolant level and condition. Is the engine coolant level filled to the proper level? Yes Go to 2 . No Add the appropriate type and amount of engine coolant in accordance with the Service Information and retest. Perform «PCM VERIFICATION TEST»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#powertrain-control-modules-pcm-electrical-diagnosis__pcm-verification-test) .
  2. IGNITION OFF TIMER Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool under PCM/NGC Data Display, locate the Ignition Off Time value. While monitoring a stop watch, turn the Ignition off for 10 minutes, watch the stop watch for those 10 minutes, and then turn the Ignition on. With the scan tool under Data Functions, check the Ignition Off Time value again. Does the Ignition Time Off value on the scan tool match the actual time you had the Ignition off on the stop watch? Yes The conditions that set the DTC are not active at this time. Refer to the «*CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#dtcs-u1417-to-u1418-checking-no-crank-and-no-start-condition-intermittent-dtc-component-checks-system-checks-checking-po) Diagnostic Procedure. No Go to 3 .
  3. CHECKING THE PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS Perform the diagnostic procedure for «*CHECKING THE PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#dtcs-u1417-to-u1418-checking-no-crank-and-no-start-condition-intermittent-dtc-component-checks-system-checks-checking-po) . Were any problems found? Yes Repair the PCM power and ground circuit(s) as necessary and retest. Perform «PCM VERIFICATION TEST»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#powertrain-control-modules-pcm-electrical-diagnosis__pcm-verification-test) . No Go to 4 .
  4. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) Verify that the PCM is operating at the latest software version available. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. Were any problems found? Yes Repair as necessary and retest. Perform «PCM VERIFICATION TEST»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#powertrain-control-modules-pcm-electrical-diagnosis__pcm-verification-test) . No Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
