service interval reset CHRYSLER CARAVAN 2003 Service Manual

sive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the EVIC module and the J1850
PCI data bus circuit.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
plastic module and display lens. If any of these com-
ponents is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The EVIC has access to both non-switched and
ignition switched sources of battery current so that
some of its features remain operational at any time,
while others may only operate with the ignition
switch in the On position. When the ignition switch
is turned to the On position, the EVIC module VFD
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/thermometer display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/thermometer) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer display mode from any other mode.
While in the compass/thermometer/trip computer dis-
play mode, momentarily depressing and releasing the
Step push button will step through the available trip
computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are: average fuel economy, trip odometer and elapsed
time. With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within three seconds will
perform a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and releasing the Reset
push button once will perform a local reset, and only
the value of the displayed function will be reset to
zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the
function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. Refer to
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CEN-
TER PROGRAMMINGin the Standard Procedures
section of this group for more information on setting
the Service Interval.
For more information on the features, control func-
tions and setting procedures for the EVIC module,
see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data
is obtained from the Body Control Module (BCM) on
the J1850 Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will display
dashes (- -) for any of the screens it did not receive
the bus messages. The label corresponding to the
missing information will be lit. If no EVIC data is
displayed, check the J1850 Data Bus circuit commu-
nications and the BCM. If the brightness level is
improper check the J1850 Data Bus circuit.
The DRB IIItis recommended for checking the
J1850 Data Bus circuit and the BCM. Perform the
EVIC self diagnosis before replacing the EVIC mod-
ule.

PROGRAMMING
EVIC PROGRAMMING MODE
Some vehicles are equipped with a Electronic Vehi-
cle Information Center (EVIC) equipped overhead
console. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) provides the vehicle operator with a user
interface, which allows the selection of several
optional customer programmable electronic features
to suit individual preferences. The EVIC must be
placed into its programming mode in order to view or
change the programmable features. To enter the
EVIC programming mode and to view or change the
selected programmable features options, proceed as
follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(2) Depress and release the Menu push button.
The first item in the programmable features menu
list will appear in the EVIC display.
(3) Momentarily depress and release the Menu
push button to step through the programmable fea-
tures list. Each programmable feature and its cur-
rently selected option will appear on the EVIC
display in the sequence shown in the Programmable
Features list that follows.
(4) Momentarily depress and release the Step push
button to step through the available options for the
programmable feature being displayed.
(5) The option that last appears in the display
with a programmable feature before exiting the pro-
gramming mode, becomes the newly selected pro-
grammable feature option.
(6) The EVIC exits the programming mode and
returns to its normal operating mode when the C/T
push button is depressed or when the end of the pro-
grammable features menu list is reached, whichever
occurs first.

mation is not covered in this section of the service
manual. Refer to the tires/wheels section of this
manual for detailed tire pressure monitoring system
information.
²LANGUAGE?- The options include English,
Francaise, Deutsch, Italiana, or Espanol. The default
is English. All EVIC display nomenclature, including
the trip computer functions, warning messages and
the programmable features appear in the selected
language.
²DISPLAY U.S. OR METRIC?- The options
include U.S. and M. The default is U.S. This feature
toggles the trip computer temperature, fuel economy
and odometer display readings between U.S. and
metric units of measure. It also changes the odome-

²SERVICE INTV. =- The options include from
1000 to 12000 kilometers in 1000 kilometer incre-
ments (2000 to 7500 miles in 500 mile increments).
The default is 12000 kilometers (7500 miles). The

by the EVIC. If a new distance is selected, a second
programmable feature appears,RESET SERVICE
DISTANCE?- The options include No and Yes. The
default is Yes. When Yes is selected, the accumulated
distance since the last previous Perform Service
warning message will be reset to zero because the
service interval has been changed. When No is
selected, the distance until the next Perform Service
warning message is reduced by the accumulated dis-
tance since the last previous message.
²USE FACTORY SETTINGS?- The options
include Yes and No. The default is Yes. When yes is
selected all the programmable features will return to
there defaults and the rest of the programmable fea-
tures will not be displayed. If No is selected the rest
