Trouble Codes From The MTC Head

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, and 2002 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The trouble codes can be checked with the MTC head and the odometer display of the mechanical instrument cluster if a DRBIIII(R) scan tool is not available. The MTC head can only be placed into the diagnostic mode while the engine is running and the vehicle is not moving. To place the system into it's diagnostic mode, adjust the MTC to the following settings, see Fig 1 .

  1. The engine must be running with vehicle not moving.
  2. The fan speed set to any speed except OFF.
  3. The temperature knob in full cold (full counterclockwise position).
  4. The mode knob must be placed in defrost position (full clockwise position).
  5. The A/C button can be on or off.
  6. Press and hold the EBL button until the mechanical instrument cluster odometer display indicates an "AC00". The body control module (BCM) will chime once and the MTC A/C button LED will begin blinking.
  7. Release the EBL button and wait until the MTC A/C button LED stops blinking. This means that the error check and climate control unit door calibration is complete.
