Technical Description (Comment)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This malfunction may be caused by a defective immobilizer-ECU, ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T >, or a defect in the communication line between the immobilizer-ECU and ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T >. If this malfunction appears when the MFI system and scan tool MB991502 can communicate each other, MFI system DTC P1610 will reset.
If the MFI system is normal, the MFI relay can be determined as normal. In addition, if the MFI system and scan tool MB991502 can communicate each other, the circuits between the data link connector and the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > can determined as normal.

NOTE: If this malfunction appears, MFI system DTC P1610 will be set.
