Misfire adaptive numerator is monitored under closed throttle deceleration, with A/C off, engine coolant temperature more than 75°F (24°C) and more than 50 seconds after engine start. Speed at which deceleration occurs must be with vehicle speed at more than 36 MPH in first gear or 65 MPH in fourth gear. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses one of Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor target windows has more than 2.86 percent variance from CKP sensor reference window. Possible causes for DTC to set are: improperly installed CKP sensor, defective CKP sensor, defective flywheel/flexplate, or defective connectors or wiring.

EVAP leak monitor is monitored after cold start with ambient temperature of 40-90°F (4.4-32°C) and coolant temperature within 10°F (-12°C) of ambient temperature. If PCM detects a pinched hose, DTC will not set until EVAP monitor performs system test. If system test fails, DTC will set. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when EVAP monitor senses no airflow through EVAP system. Possible causes for DTC to set are: blocked fuel tank-to-EVAP canister hose, blocked Leak Detection Pump (LDP) hose, pinched EVAP purge solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose, blocked LDP or blocked EVAP canister.

Radiator fan relay voltage is monitored when ignition is on, battery voltage is more than 10 volts. DTC will set in PCM memory if PCM detects an open or shorted condition in radiator fan control relay circuit. Possible causes for DTC to set are: defective radiator fan relay, defective radiator fan, defective PCM, or defective connectors or wiring.

Ambient/battery temperature sensor is also referred to as Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS). BTS voltage is monitored with ignition on. DTC P1492 will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses voltage from BTS is more than 4.9 volts for 3 seconds. Possible causes for DTC to set are: defective BTS, defective PCM, defective connector or defective wiring.

Ambient/battery temperature sensor is also referred to as Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS). BTS voltage is monitored with ignition on. DTC will set in PCM memory when PCM senses voltage BTS is less than 0.5 volt for 3 seconds. Possible causes for either DTC to set are: defective BTS, defective PCM, defective connector or defective wiring.

Leak Detection Pump (LDP) switch operation is monitored immediately after a cold start, with ambient temperature 40-90°F (4-32°C) and engine coolant temperature within 10°F (-12°C) of ambient temperature. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses a change in switch state is not sensed when LDP solenoid is energized following an engine start. Possible causes for DTC to set are: defective LDP, defective PCM, or defective connectors or wiring.

Leak detection pump solenoid operation is monitored with ignition on and battery voltage more than 10.4 volts. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses state of solenoid does not change. Possible causes for DTC to set are: defective Leak Detection Pump (LDP), defective PCM, defective LDP solenoid, or defective connectors or wiring.

Transponder ID (in ignition key) is monitored with ignition on. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when transponder ID read by Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) does not match any transponder ID's stored in SKIM memory. Possible causes for DTC to set are: invalid SKIM KEY, defective PCM, defective connector or defective wiring.

Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) bus is monitored with ignition on and continuously during engine operation. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when SKIM status bus message was not received from the SKIM for 20 seconds. Possible causes for DTC to set are: invalid SKIM KEY, defective PCM, defective connector or defective wiring.

DTC P1696 indicates PCM failure EEPROM write denied and is monitored with ignition on. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM's attempt to program/write to internal EEPROM fails. Possible cause for DTC to set is: defective PCM.

Messages from Transmission Control Module (TCM) are monitored when engine on and battery voltage more than 10 volts. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and TCM communicate messages across the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus, as information from either module is needed to operate their respective systems. DTC will set in PCM memory if no CCD bus messages are received from TCM for 10 seconds. Possible causes for DTC to set are: open circuit on CCD bus, defective PCM, defective TCM, or defective connectors or wiring.
