EXHAUST GAS
RECIRCULATION
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in the engine exhaust. This is accomplished by allow-
ing a predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to
recirculate and dilute the incoming fuel/air mixture.
A malfunctioning EGR system can cause engine
stumble, sags, or hesitation, rough idle, engine stall-
ing and poor driveability.
OPERATION
The system consists of:
²An EGR valve assembly. The valve is located on
the rear of the engine above the exhaust manfiold.
²An EGR solenoid.The EGR solenoid controls the
ªon timeº of the EGR valve.
²The ECM operates the EGR solenoid. The ECM
is located inside the vehicle under the instrument
panel.
²An EGR tube connects a passage in the EGR
valve to the rear of the exhaust manifold.
²The vacuum pump supplies vacuum for the EGR
solenoid and the EGR valve. This pump also supplies
vacuum for operation of the power brake boosterb
and the heating and air conditioning system. The
pump is located internally in the front of the engine
block and is driven by the crankshaft gear.
²Vacuum lines and hoses connect the various
components.
When the ECM supplies a variable ground signal
to the EGR solenoid, EGR system operation starts to
occur. The ECM will monitor and determine when tosupply and remove this variable ground signal. This
will depend on inputs from the engine coolant tem-
perature, throttle position and engine speed sensors.
When the variable ground signal is supplied to the
EGR solenoid, vacuum from the vacuum pump will
be allowed to pass through the EGR solenoid and on
to the EGR valve with a connecting hose.
Exhaust gas recirculation will begin in this order
when:
²The ECM determines that EGR system opera-
tion is necessary.
²The engine is running to operate the vacuum
pump.
²A variable ground signal is supplied to the EGR
solenoid.
²Variable vacuum passes through the EGR sole-
noid to the EGR valve.
²The inlet seat (poppet valve) at the bottom of
the EGR valve opens to dilute and recirculate
exhaust gas back into the intake manifold.
The EGR system will be shut down by the ECM
after 60 seconds of continuous engine idling to
improve idle quality.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
DESCRIPTION - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
On the following pages, a list of DTC's is provided
for the 2.5L diesel engine. A DTC indicates that the
ECM has recognized an abnormal signal in a circuit
or the system. A DTC may indicate the result of a
failure, but most likely will not identify the failed
component directly. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic manual for more information on diagnosis of trou-
ble codes.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A stored DTC can be displayed through the use of
the DRB IIItscan tool. The DRB IIItconnects to the
data link connector. The data link connector is
located under the instrument panel near bottom of
the steering column (Fig. 1).
ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, use the DRB
IIItscan tool to erase a DTC.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
specifications, instructions, and graphics needed to
diagnose the PCM Powertrain System. The diag-
nostics in this manual are based on the failure
condition or symptom being present at time of
diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the appropriate modules; ie., if the DRBIIIt
displays a No Response condition, you must
diagnose this first before proceeding.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All system
schematics are in Section 10.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indi-
cates a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. READ THIS DIAGNOSTIC
INFORMATION BEFORE TRYING TO DIAG-
NOSE A VEHICLE CODE. It is recommended that
you review the entire diagnostic information to
become familiar with all new and changed diagnos-
tic procedures.
If you have any comments or recommendations
after reviewing the diagnostic information, please
fill out the form at the back of the book and mail it
back to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers the
following 2001 Town and Country; Caravan/Grand
Caravan; and Voyager/Grand Voyager vehicles
equipped with the 2.4L and the 3.3L/3.8L engines.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the powertrain control module
(PCM) is done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF

and controls:
²Fuel System
²Idle Air Control System
²Ignition System
²Charging System
²Speed Control System
²Cooling system
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) engine sys-
tems have the latest in technical advances. The
on-board Euro Stage III OBD diagnostics incorpo-
rated with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
are intended to assist the field technician in repair-
ing vehicle problems by the quickest means.
3.2 FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.2.1 FUEL CONTROL
The PCM controls the air/fuel ratio of the engine
by varying fuel injector on time. Mass air flow is
calculated using the speed density method using
enigne speed, manifold absolute pressure, and air
temperature change.
Different fuel calculation strategies are used de-
pending on the operational state of the engine.
During crank mode, a prime shot fuel pulse is
delivered followed by fuel pulses determined by a
crank time strategy. Cold engine operation is deter-
mined via an open loop strategy until the O2
sensors have reached operating temperature. At
this point, the strategy enters a closed loop mode
where fuel requirements are based upon the state of
the O2 sensors, engine speed, MAP, throttle posi-
tion, air temperature, battery voltage, and coolant
temperature.
