SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

CAUTIONWhen 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. When battery is disconnected, Engine Control Module (ECM) is disconnected or replaced, or Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) has been disconnected or replaced, ECM must be programmed to match the APPS. For ECM programming, see ENGINE CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING.

Note. Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRBIII®) scan tool, which will be referred to as DRB during testing procedures. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

Note. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light.

MIL is located on instrument cluster, just below WATER-IN-FUEL light directly below the tachometer and is displayed as an engine icon. When ignition is first turned on, MIL should come on and remain on for 2 seconds to verify bulb and circuit operation, and then go off.

Note. If MIL does not come on and remain on for 2 seconds and then go off when ignition is first turned on, check instrument cluster for diagnosis of MIL. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - RAM PICKUP article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitor several circuits and components in the powertrain system. ECM is used to control fuel and emission systems and PCM is used to primarily control charging system, transmission, A/C compressor clutch operation and vehicle speed control functions. If ECM or PCM senses a problem with a monitored circuit often enough to indicate a problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in ECM or PCM. DTCs are the result of a system or circuit malfunction, but do not directly identify the failed component or components. If malfunction affects vehicle emissions, a DTC will be stored in ECM and MIL will be turned on and remain on steady and ECM will enter limp-in mode. In limp-in mode, the ECM substitutes values for failed component and provides continuous engine operation. If problem exists which does not affect vehicle emissions, a DTC will be stored in ECM or PCM but MIL will not be turned on. Certain DTCs may also store a companion DTC, meaning that if a certain DTC is stored in the ECM or PCM, the same DTC will be stored in the opposite control module. Any circuit or component that is associated with limp-in mode will cause a DTC to be stored in ECM and illuminate the MIL after one trip. Any circuit or component that is not associated with limp-in mode will cause DTC to be stored in ECM and illuminate the MIL after 2 trips. The ECM or PCM will turn off MIL when malfunction is not detected during 2 consecutive trips.

The ECM or PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This may happen because one of the criteria for DTC has not been met. For example, assume criteria for DTC requires ECM to monitor a specified circuit only when engine operates between 750 RPM and 2000 RPM. If the sensor output circuit becomes shorted to ground when engine is operating at 2400 RPM, DTC will not be stored, as short to ground occurred at 2400 RPM which exceeds the limit when the circuit was monitored.

DTCs may be retrieved for system diagnosis. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . System malfunctions are identified as either hard failures or intermittent failures. For additional information on hard failures or intermittent failures, see HARD FAILURES and INTERMITTENT FAILURES .

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

If no faults 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 . Retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

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 self-diagnostics. After completing visual inspection, retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Ensure battery is fully charged before retrieving diagnostic trouble codes.

  1. Ensure ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 23)
  2. Turn ignition on with engine off. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read and record Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) code. Certain DTCs may also store a companion DTC, meaning that if a certain DTC is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the same DTC will be stored in the opposite control module. If DTCs are stored, identify DTC and perform appropriate test for displayed DTCs. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-97349-S11984774092001050200000). Once all repairs are made, ensure DTCs are cleared from ECM and PCM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-97349-S08700125602001050200000).
  3. On any scan tool, if scan tool displays NO RESPONSE for ECM and/or PCM, perform appropriate procedure under «SCAN TOOL COMMUNICATIONS»(ref-97349-S23941622762001051500000). If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections or cable are defective, repair or replace components as necessary and then recheck for DTCs. If cable connections and cable are okay, using DVOM, measure voltage at cavity No. 16 (Pink wire) on DLC. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check for defective fuse No. 12 (10-amp), as this fuse supplies voltage from battery to cavity No. 16 on DLC. Fuse No. 12 is located in junction block on end of driver's side of instrument panel, near door opening. If necessary, check wiring circuit between fuse No. 12 and the battery. See DATA LINK CONNECTORS and POWER DISTRIBUTION articles in WIRING DIAGRAMS. If voltage exists at cavity No. 16 (Pink wire) on DLC but scan tool will not power up and blank screen exists, it may be necessary to ensure that good ground exists at DLC terminals No. 4 (Black/Light Green wire) or No. 5 (Black/Tan wire). For ground circuit wiring, see GROUND DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.
  4. If scan tool display is not visible, try adjusting contrast. Low ambient temperatures will effect display screen.
  5. 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 scan tool displays a bus failure, this indicates either a scan tool failure or bus failure. To diagnose and correct bus failures, see appropriate diagnostic and repair procedure under COMMUNICATIONS under SYSTEM TESTS in BODY CONTROL MODULES - RAM PICKUP article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  6. If no DTCs are displayed, refer to one of the following: For driveability problems, perform appropriate symptom test located in TROUBLE SHOOTING NO CODES - RAM PICKUP - DIESEL article. For no-start problems, perform appropriate no-start test in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - RAM PICKUP - DIESEL article. For individual system and component tests, perform appropriate procedure in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - RAM PICKUP - DIESEL article. For additional speed control problems and servicing information, see appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. For additional charging system problems and servicing information, see appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.

Note. If MIL remains on steady and no DTCs exist, check instrument cluster for diagnosis of MIL. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - RAM PICKUP article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

Using Scan Tool

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 23) Turn ignition on with engine off. Using screen prompts on scan tool, erase DTC from Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Certain DTCs may also store a companion DTC, meaning that if a certain DTC is stored in the ECM or PCM, the same DTC will be stored in the opposite control module. It may be necessary to clear DTC from both ECM and PCM.

Self-Erasure

After 3 good trips, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will turn off the MIL. At that time, the PCM will automatically switch the trip counter to a warm-up cycle counter. The PCM will erase DTCs after 40 warm-up cycles if the recent malfunction does not reoccur in that time. For additional information on good trips and warm-up cycles, see TRIP INDICATOR under ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS.

DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK

Note. This following procedures will check for proper power and ground supply to Engine Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
