SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

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. Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool, which will be referred to as DRB during testing procedures. If using a generic scan tool, ensure scan tool is OBD certified. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), also known as SERVICE ENGINE SOON light, located in the message center above instrument cluster on driver's side of dashboard, may also be used for system diagnostics, but has limited diagnostic capability.

Note. Some wiring circuits may contain a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC). The PTC is a specified amperage solid-state circuit breaker located in junction box behind driver's side of instrument panel, to the left of steering column. To reset PTC, all current must be removed from PTC for approximately 20 seconds.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

If no faults were found while performing appropriate BASIC TESTING - 3.3L, proceed with self-diagnostics. Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Retrieve DTCs. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

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 system testing.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. When using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool, the scan tool will be able to identify or display all DTCs for system diagnosis. When using generic scan tool, it will be necessary to use Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in message center and generic scan tool to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Not all DTCs can be retrieved using generic scan tool and MIL. When using MIL to retrieve DTCs, some DTCs have more than one meaning. The MIL is unable to distinguish between different failures for a specified component. For example, there are 4 different possible failures for the downstream oxygen sensor system, but the MIL can only identify a downstream oxygen sensor failure by flashing a DTC 21, but the scan tool will be able to distinguish between the different failures.

Note. When using generic scan tool, scan tool is not able to identify all possible DTCs. As an example, generic scan tool may not be able to identify or display a DTC for a malfunctioning A/C clutch relay circuit or A/C pressure sensor, but these DTCs will be displayed by the MIL.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Ensure ignition is off. Turn ignition on. Using screen prompts on scan tool, erase DTC from PCM.

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 for pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relating to the problem.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

CAUTIONWhen battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and energy 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.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Note. For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION DIRECTORY. In the following self-diagnostic tests the illustrations are courtesy of Chrysler Corp.

Note. Some wiring circuits may contain a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC). The PTC is a specified amperage solid-state circuit breaker located in junction box behind driver's side of instrument panel, to the left of steering column. To reset PTC, all current must be removed from PTC for approximately 20 seconds.

Note. Before diagnosing an engine performance problem, refer to diagnostic system functions, abilities and system diagnostic procedures.

DTC TEST - CHECKING SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding with test.

  1. Attempt to start engine. Crank engine for up to 10 seconds (if necessary). Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be retrieved using scan tool or Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in message center.
  2. When using MIL in message center to check for DTCs, see RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Read DTCs flashed by the MIL.
  3. When using scan tool to check for DTCs, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). For Data Link Connector (DLC) location, see RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read DTC message (DRB scan tool) or DTC code (generic scan tool).
  4. On any scan tools, if scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, perform TEST NS-2A. 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 (Pink wire) on DLC. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and necessary fuses. See wiring diagram in appropriate WIRING DIAGRAMS - 3.3L article.
  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 (i.e., SHORT TO BATTERY), this indicates either a scan tool failure or BUS failure. To diagnose and correct BUS failures, see appropriate VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section.
  6. On all applications, if DTCs are displayed, see DTC MESSAGES & CODES table and perform appropriate test(s). If no DTCs are displayed, refer to one of the following: For Driveability problems, perform TEST NTC-1A. For No-Start problems, Perform TEST NS-1A. For speed control problems, perform TEST SC-1A in appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section. For charging system problems, perform TEST CH-1A in appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS section.

Note. When using MIL to retrieve DTCs, some DTCs have more than one meaning. The MIL is unable to distinguish between different failures for a specified component. For example, there are 4 different possible failures for the downstream oxygen sensor system, but the MIL can only identify an downstream oxygen sensor failure by flashing a DTC 21. See DTC MESSAGES & CODES table.

Note. If using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool, scan tool has ability to display all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Generic scan tool and/or MIL can also be used, but has limited diagnostic capability. Generic scan tool is not be able to identify all possible DTCs. As an example, generic scan tool may not be able to identify or display a DTC for a malfunctioning A/C clutch relay circuit, A/C pressure sensor, Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay circuit, charging system voltage circuit or knock sensor circuit. See DTC MESSAGES & CODES table.

  2. If vehicle is equipped with factory vehicle theft security system, start vehicle at least 20 times so vehicle theft security system can be activated when desired. Using scan tool, erase DTCs from PCM.
  3. To ensure no charging system problem exists, start engine. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least 30 seconds. Allow engine to idle. Turn engine off.
  4. Using scan tool, check for stored DTCs. If repaired DTC has reset, repair is not complete. Check for related Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to DTC TEST, if necessary. If another DTC exists, return to DTC TEST and follow specified procedure specified by other DTC. If no other DTCs exist, repair is now complete.

TEST VER-4A - SPEED CONTROL VERIFICATION

  1. Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine and speed control system components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been changed, go to next step. If PCM has not been changed, go to step 3).
  2. If vehicle is equipped with factory vehicle theft security system, start vehicle at least 20 times so vehicle theft security system can be activated when desired. Using scan tool, erase DTCs from PCM.
  3. To ensure no speed control system problem exists, road test vehicle at a speed greater than 35 MPH. Depress steering wheel speed control ON/OFF switch to ON position. Depress and release steering wheel speed control SET switch.
  4. If speed control engages, go to next step. If speed control does not engage, repair is not complete. Check for related Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  5. Quickly depress and release steering wheel speed control RESUME/ACCEL switch. If vehicle speed increases by 2 MPH, go to next step. If vehicle speed does not increase by 2 MPH, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  6. Using caution, depress and release brake pedal. If speed control disengages, go to next step. If speed control does not disengage, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  7. Increase vehicle speed to 35 MPH. Depress steering wheel speed control RESUME/ACCEL switch. If vehicle resumes to original speed, go to next step. If vehicle does not resume to original speed, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  8. Hold steering wheel speed control DECEL switch downward. If vehicle speed decreases, go to next step. If vehicle speed does not decrease, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  9. Ensure vehicle speed is greater than 35 MPH. Release steering wheel speed control DECEL switch. If vehicle speed adjusts and sets at a new vehicle speed, go to next step. If vehicle speed does not adjust and set at a new vehicle speed, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  10. Depress steering wheel speed control ON/OFF switch to OFF position. If speed control disengages, system is operating correctly. Repair is complete. If speed control does not disengage, repair is not complete. Check for related TSBs and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.

TEST VER-5A - ROAD TEST FOR OBD-II TROUBLE CODES

  1. Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If DTCs have not been diagnosed, go to DTC TEST and finish diagnosing remaining DTCs as necessary. If all DTCs have been diagnosed, go to next step.
  2. Connect scan tool to data link connector. Ensure fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. Ensure A/C is off.
  3. Proper way to ensure DTC is properly repaired, is to allow Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to run the monitor. Monitor operation may be observed on the scan tool. All specified enabling conditions for specified DTC must be met before PCM will operate the monitor.
  4. Using scan tool, monitor the pretest enabling conditions until all conditions have been met. Once all enabling conditions are met, observe appropriate monitor for DTC on the scan tool.
  5. If repaired DTC has reset or was seen in the monitor while on road test, repair is not complete. Check for related Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to DTC TEST, if necessary.
  6. If another DTC exists, return to DTC TEST and follow path specified by other DTC. If no other DTCs exist, repair is now complete.
