Self-Diagnostic System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Eagle Vision, 1994 Dodge Intrepid, 1994 Chrysler New Yorker, 1994 Chrysler LHS, and 1994 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Teves-Mark IV Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is controlled and monitored by Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB). In addition to controlling ABS system, CAB has several useful diagnostic capabilities.

Fault messages are stored in memory until erased by a technician using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) or until erased automatically after 50 ignition cycles. Only fault which cannot be erased using DRB or after 50 ignition cycles is a CAB fault. CAB fault can only be erased by replacing CAB.

More than one fault message can be stored at a time. Number of fault messages stored is displayed by DRB. Number of ignition cycles since most recent fault was stored is also displayed.

Using DRB, most functions of CAB and ABS system can be accessed by technician for testing and diagnostic purposes.
