Engine Controls - Remove/install/overhaul - 3.0L: Other Dodge Caravan III

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

CAUTIONDO NOT interchange TCM with previous year TCM. If TCM is replaced, transaxle shift quality quick learn procedure, pinion factor procedure and torque converter clutch break-in procedure must be performed. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

A/C PRESSURE SENSOR

Note. A/C pressure sensor may also be referred to as A/C pressure switch or A/C pressure transducer. A/C system does not need to be discharged to replace A/C pressure sensor.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEM.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEM.

EGR SOLENOID

The EGR valve, EGR backpressure transducer and EGR solenoid must be replaced as an assembly. See EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY under EMISSION SYSTEMS.

EVAP PURGE SOLENOID

See EVAP PURGE SOLENOID under EMISSION SYSTEMS.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE

WARNINGALWAYS release fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
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.
  1. Disconnect electrical connector at injector. Connect jumper wire between Dark Green/Orange wire electrical terminal on injector and positive battery terminal.
  2. Momentarily connect jumper wire between remaining electrical terminal on injector and ground for no longer than 5 seconds. DO NOT exceed 5 seconds or injector may be damaged. This operates injector and releases fuel pressure.
  3. Wait 5 seconds and then ground jumper wire for another 5 seconds. Remove jumper wires. Install electrical connector. Fuel pressure should now be released. Use care when disconnecting fuel lines, as some fuel pressure may still exist in fuel lines.

FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS

Note. Fuel lines may contain dual tab or plastic retainer ring disconnect fitting. (Схема №7) Determine type of disconnect fitting used and use proper procedure for disconnect fitting.

FUEL PUMP

Fuel pump is incorporated into the fuel pump module. See FUEL PUMP MODULE under FUEL SYSTEM.
