3) Using DRB, read stored codes. If DRB displays stored
codes, perform appropriate diagnostic test. If DRB does not display
any stored codes, system is operating properly at this time.
COMPONENT VERIFICATION TEST
Reconnect all previously disconnected components and
connectors. Turn ignition on (engine off). Fully operate system that
was malfunctioning. If system operates properly, repair is complete.
If system does not operate properly, go to appropriate diagnostic
test.
VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS
VEHICLE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS
NOTE: Use this test only when instructed to do so by another
diagnostic test. Due to manufacturer changes in wire
colors, use terminal identification whenever possible.
DRB Blank Screen
If DRB Screen is blank, disconnect DRB from data link
connector. Ensure good ground exists at data link connector terminal
No. 4 (Black/Tan wire). Ensure 12-volts exists at data link connector
terminal No. 16 (Pink wire). If 12-volts does not exist, check for
blown fuse No. 12 located in power distribution center. If no problems
can be found, try a different DRB cable and/or a different DRB.
No Response Condition
If no response condition from Air Bag Control Module (ACM)
exists, go to NO RESPONSE FROM AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE .
NO RESPONSE FROM AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE
NOTE: Perform COMPONENT VERIFICATION TEST under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
after all repairs. Each time a connector is disconnected,
inspect it to ensure it is in good condition. Always focus on
circuit being tested. Dirt, water and corrosion, are most
common problems in connectors. Due to manufacturer changes in
wire colors, use terminal identification whenever possible.
1) Remove and inspect fuse No. 19. If fuse is blown, go to
OPEN FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN/START) CKT . If not, go to next
step.
2) Using a voltmeter, measure ignition switch output
RUN/START at fuse No. 19. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If voltage is more than
10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair
open ignition switch output RUN/START circuit.
3) Turn ignition off and wait 2 minutes. Disconnect ACM
connector. Reinstall fuse No. 19. Turn ignition on (engine off). Using\
a voltmeter, check voltage at ACM connector terminal No. 14 (Light
Green/Yellow wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Light Green/Yellow
wire.
4) Turn ignition off. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check
resistance at ACM connector terminal No. 4 (Black/Pink wire). If
resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black/Pink wire. If
resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
5) Turn ignition on (engine off). Using DRB in voltmeter
mode, check voltage at ACM connector terminal No. 21 (Violet/Brown
wire). If voltage is 1.8-2.6 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not
1.8-2.6 volts, repair open in Violet/Brown wire.

The OD (Overdrive) OFF switch is located on instrument panel,\
to the right of steering column. The OD OFF switch controls overdrive
operation by delivering an input signal to PCM. The PCM uses this
signal for controlling operation of overdrive solenoid on the valve
body.
When overdrive switch is in the OFF position, OD light on
instrument panel will be illuminated and transmission will not upshift
into 4th gear for overdrive operation. When OD switch is in the ON
position, OD light on instrument panel will not be illuminated and
transmission will upshift into 4th gear for overdrive operation.
If OD switch is in the ON position, the TCC will lock-up when
transmission is in 4th gear with vehicle speed greater than 45 MPH. If
overdrive switch is in the OFF position, the TCC will lock-up when
transmission is in 3rd gear with vehicle speed greater than 35 MPH at
light throttle application.
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
The TP sensor delivers an input signal to the PCM to indicate
throttle position. The PCM uses this input signal for controlling TCC
operation, governor pressure and upshift into 4th gear for overdrive
operation.
TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
NOTE: Transmission fluid temperature sensor may also be referred to
as transmission fluid temperature thermistor or transmission
fluid temperature sender.
Transmission fluid temperature sensor delivers an input
signal to the PCM to indicate transmission fluid temperature. The PCM
uses this input signal for controlling the TCC, overdrive operation
and governor pressure. Transmission fluid temperature sensor is
located on the valve body and is integral with governor pressure
sensor. See Fig. 1.
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
NOTE: Output shaft speed sensor may also be referred to as
transmission shaft speed sensor or shaft speed sensor.
Output shaft speed sensor is located on overdrive unit
attached to rear of transmission. Output shaft speed sensor is mounted
above the lugs on park gear in the overdrive unit. Speed sensor input
signals are generated when lugs on park gear rotate past face of
sensor. Input signals are delivered to PCM. The PCM uses this input
signal for controlling transmission operation. The Vehicle Speed
Sensor (VSS) also serves as a back-up to the output shaft speed
sensor. The VSS signal is also an input to the PCM.

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: For symptom trouble shooting, see appropriate AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL article.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Visually inspect all electrical wiring, looking for chafed,
Page 222 of 1691

stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit
tightly and are not corroded. Check PCM, sensors and switches for
physical damage. Check engine coolant level. Check transmission fluid
level and condition.

* 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.
