Stored Codes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2001 Dodge Caravan, 2001 Chrysler Voyager, and 2001 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Stored codes are intermittent codes and are accessed through DRB. If fault message is intermittent, AIR BAG warning light glows for 12 seconds or more and then goes out. Intermittent DTCs are stored in ORC memory, along with number of times code (message) was active and number of key cycles fault was in memory. Minimum time stored for any code is one minute. If a malfunction is detected, a DTC is stored and will remain stored as long as malfunction exists.

When and if malfunction ceases to exist, an ignition cycle count will be initiated for that code. If ignition cycle count reaches 100 without a reoccurrence of that malfunction, DTC is erased and that ignition cycle counter is reset to zero. If malfunction reoccurs before count reaches 100, ignition cycle counter will be reset and DTC will continue to be a stored code.
