SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: Only transaxle-related trouble codes are listed. For engine-
related DTC definitions, see TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS article
in APPLICATIONS & IDENTIFICATION. For engine-related DTC
diagnosis, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE
PERFORMANCE. Engine performance DTCs must be repaired first,
as engine performance and related component signals will
affect transaxle operation and diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
When performing vehicle diagnosis:
* Ensure transmission fluid level is correct and fluid is
neither contaminated or aerated.
* Ensure shift cable is properly adjusted. See appropriate
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICING article in TRANSMISSION
SERVICING.
* Ensure battery is fully charged.
* Perform visual inspection, ensuring all electrical
connections at transmission, PCM, TP sensor and output shaft
speed sensor are clean and properly installed.
* Retrieve DTCs. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES.
* Repair DTCs in order displayed.
* Always perform test verification test after any repair
procedure is completed unless specified otherwise. See
appropriate verification test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
NOTE: Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's
Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool. A generic scan tool
may be used, but may not be capable of performing all
necessary test functions.
TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP
Generic Scan Tool & DVOM
Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's
Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool. The DRB has a built-in DVOM
function. A generic scan tool may be used, but may not be capable of
performing all necessary test functions. If DRB test procedures
require resistance or voltage to be measured using scan tool in
ohmmeter or voltmeter mode, connect DVOM ground lead to DLC connector
terminal No. 4 and positive lead to terminal specified in test
procedure.
DRB Scan Tool
Refer to DRB scan tool instructions to read and clear DTCs,
and when performing other scan tool functions. DRB scan tool is
grounded through DLC connector terminal No. 4. Only one volt/ohmmeter
test lead is required to measure voltage or resistance. See Fig. 2.
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
NOTE: Manufacturer recommends using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout
Page 223 of 1691
Box (DRB) scan tool with appropriate cartridge for system
diagnosis. Other after-market scan tools may be used for
system diagnosis. The following procedure is for DRB scan
tool usage. Use scan tool manufacturer's instruction for
operating scan tool.
NOTE: Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding with test.
1) Ensure ignition is off. Connect DRB to Data Link Connector
(DLC) located under driver's side of instrument panel. Using scan
tool, display all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Identify DTCs once
retrieved. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) & DRB MESSAGES table.
2) If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable
connections or faulty cable. If cable connections and cable are okay,
check voltage at DLC terminal No. 16. Voltage should be at least 11
volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and
necessary fuses. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
3) If scan tool displays an error message, RAM TEST FAILURE,
CARTRIDGE ERROR, KEY PAD TEST FAILURE, or LOW OR HIGH BATTERY, this
indicates a scan tool failure.
4) If DTCs are displayed, perform appropriate test(s). See
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) & DRB MESSAGES table. If no DTCs are
displayed, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OVERHAUL article.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
After repairs have been performed, clear DTCs from PCM memory
using scan tool, following scan tool manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: If malfunction is no longer present after DTC is stored in
PCM memory, the PCM will erase DTC after ignition has been
cycled at least 50 times. DTC may be cleared by using scan
tool. Follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions. DTCs may
also be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable for a
period of time, but other vehicle control modules may also be
Page 224 of 1691
affected.
INACTIVE DTC CONDITION
This procedure applies if you have been sent here from a
diagnostic test and/or have just attempted to simulate the condition
that initially set the DTC. The following additional checks may assist
in identifying a possible intermittent problem:
* Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for
broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
* Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced
or partially broken wires.
* Check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relating to the
problem.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DaimlerChrysler Computer Relearn Procedures
INTRODUCTION
Vehicles equipped with engine or transmission/transaxle
computers may require a computer relearn procedure after the vehicle
battery is disconnected. Vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle
operation patterns for optimum driveability and performance. When the
vehicle battery is disconnected, this memory is lost, resulting in a
driveability problem. Depending on the vehicle and how it is equipped,
the following driveability problems may exist:
* Rough or unstable idle.
* Hesitation or stumble.
* Rich or lean running.
* Poor fuel mileage.
* Harsh or poor transmission/transaxle shift quality.
Default data is used until NEW data from each key start is
stored. As the computer restores its memory from each new key start,
driveability is restored.
Driveability problems may occur during the computer relearn
stage. To accelerate computer relearn process after battery removal
and installation, specified computer relearn procedures should be
performed. See appropriate procedures under specified manufacturer.
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
ALL MODELS
NOTE: Read all procedures listed to determine why each procedure is
to be performed before proceeding.
Vehicle Driveability Computer Relearn Procedure
Manufacturer does not provide a specified computer relearn
procedure for obtaining proper driveability. If vehicle battery was
disconnected or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, driving
the vehicle will enable the PCM to perform a computer relearn
procedure for obtaining proper driveability. Inform customer that
driveability may differ from what they are accustomed to until the PCM
completes the computer relearn procedure.
NOTE: If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, the correct
vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must
be programmed into the PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) from being set in the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) module and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) module\
.
To program PCM and clear DTCs from ABS and SRS modules,
proceed to appropriate procedure listed. If replacing
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on models equipped with a
Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), the secret key data must\
also be updated to enable engine starting. To update secret
key data, proceed to appropriate procedure listed.
Programming PCM & Clearing DTCs From ABS & SRS Modules
Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) below driver's\
side of instrument panel. Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and
mileage into PCM. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, clear
