FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If a problem which interferes with the continuous safe operation of the transaxle is identified, the TCM
records a diagnostic trouble code in memory, all so lenoids are turned off, and the module is switched
to limp-in mode.
When limp-in mode is started, the transaxle is locked in gear if a drive gear had previously been
selected. Meanwhile, if
or range was selected, operation is as usual.
If the ignition key is turned to OFF and then back to ON again, limp-in mode is
(a record
is retained).

Turn the ignition switch off before connecting or

Install the interface cartridge cartridge) to the scan
tool
Use the cartridge adapter harness to connect the
scan tool
to the data link connector.
Read the diagnostic trouble codes.
Repair the malfunction while referring to the INSPE CTION
CHART FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
Erase the PCM diagnostic trouble code
immediately after erasing the TCM diagnostic troubl e
code.
7.Check that the diagnostic trouble code is normal.
Caution
NOTE
If the transaxle DTC has been set, (excluding cases where
only part of the DTC has been set), the TCM will le t
the PCM know that a DTC has been sent to the PCM
and a problem has occurred. As a result of this, th e PCM
records the DTC for a transaxle problem
After the transaxle has been repaired, the DTC
which has been stored in the PCM will remain
there without being erased, even after the DTC whic h
is store in the TCM has been erased. Therefore the DTC
in the PCM needs to be erased also.

Entry System
METHOD OF REGISTERING A SECRET CODE
Each individual secret code is registered inside the transmitter,
and so it is necessary to register these codes with the received
in the following cases.
lWhen either the transmitter or receiver is replaced;
lIf a second transmitter is to be used;
lIf it appears that a problem is occurring because o f faulty
registration of a code.
A maximum of two different codes per transmitter ca n be
stored in the memory area of the EEPROM, and up to two
different transmitters can be used. When the codes for the
first transmitter are registered, the previously-registered codes
for both transmitters are cleared. Therefore, if yo u are using
two transmitters or are adding a second transmitter , the
for both transmitters must be the same time.
(1) Check that the door locking function works norm ally using
the door key.
(2) Connect the scan tool to the data link connecto r.
NOTE
This grounds the data link connector
and gets ready
for a code registration.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch to OFF before connecting
or disconnecting the scan tool.
(3) Close all doors.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to ACC and return it t o OFF.
NOTE
This locks and unlocks the door once, and then a co de
can be registered.
(5) After pressing any switch on the transmitter on ce, press
it two more times within 10 seconds to register the same
code for SET I and SET II.
(6) After registration is completed, the doors will automatically
be locked and unlocked once.
(7) If you are using two transmitters or have added asecond
transmitter, the same registration procedure should be
carried out for the second transmitter, and it shou ld be
carried out within one minute after registration of the codes
for the first transmitter has been completed. After the
second registration is completed, the doors will au tomati-
cally be locked and unlocked once.
(8) Registration mode finishes under the following conditions.
lRegistration of two transmitter codes are completed .
lOne minute has passed since the registration mode
setting.
l Scan tool is disconnected. (ground released.)
l Ignition switch is turned ON.
l Any of the doors are opened.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Because R-l refrigerant is a, hydrofluorocarbon
(HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of
chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the
ozone layer.
Ozone filters out harmful radiation from the sun.
To assist in protecting the ozone layer, Chrysler
Corporation recommends an R-l refrigerant re-
cycling device.
Refrigerant R-l is transparent and colorless
in both the liquid and vapor state. Since it has
a boiling point of at atmospher-
ic pressure, it will be a vapor at all normal tempe ra-
tures and pressures. The vapor is heavier than
air, non-flammable, and nonexplosive. The follow-
ing precautions must be observed when handling
R-l
Caution
Wear safety goggles when servicing the refrig-
eration system.
R-l evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospher-
ic pressures and temperatures that it tends to free ze
anything it contacts. For this reason, extreme care
must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant fro m
contacting the skin and especially the eyes. Always
wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeratio n
part of the A/C system. Keep a bottle of sterile
mineral oil handy when working on the refrigeration
system. Should any liquid refrigerant get into the
eyes, use a few drops of mineral oil to wash them
out. is rapidly absorbed by the oil. Next
splash the eyes with plenty of cool water. Call your
doctor immediately even though irritation has
ceased after treatment.
Caution
Do not heat above
In most instances, moderate heat is required to
bring the pressure of the refrigerant inits
above the pressure of the system when charging
or adding refrigerant.
A bucket or large pan of hot water
over
is all the heat required for this purpose.
Do not heat the refrigerant container with a blow
torch or any other means that would raise tempera-
ture and pressure above this temperature. Do not
weld or steam clean on or near the system compo-
nents or refrigerant lines.
Caution
Keep
containers upright when charging
the system.
When adding into the refrigeration system
keep the supply tank or cans in an upright
position.
If the refrigerant container is on its or upside
down, liquid refrigerant will enter the
damage the compressor.
Caution
1.A leak detector designed
be used to check refrigerant gas
2.Do not allow liquid refrigerant to
metal.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome
surfaces, and in combination with moisture can
severely corrode all metal surfaces.
