Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes
NOTE:
Manufacturer recommends using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool with appropriate cartridge for system diagnosis. Other after-market scan tools may be used for system diagnosis. Following procedure is for DRB scan tool usage. Use manufacturer's instruction for operating scan tool.
NOTE:
Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding with test.
- Ensure ignition is off. Connect DRB to data link connector located under driver's side of instrument panel. Using scan tool, display all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's). To identify DTC, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table.
- If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections and cable are okay, check voltage at DLC terminal No. 16. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and necessary fuses. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS .
- If scan tool displays an error message, RAM TEST FAILURE, CARTRIDGE ERROR, KEY PAD TEST FAILURE, or LOW OR HIGH BATTERY, this indicates a scan tool failure.
- If DTCs are displayed, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table and perform appropriate test(s). If no DTCs are displayed, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in the appropriate AUTO TRANS OVERHAUL article. Refer to the following:
- 42RE or 44RE, see: AUTO TRANS OVERHAUL - 42RE, 42RH & 44RE
- 46RE or 47RE, see: AUTO TRANS OVERHAUL - 46 & 47 SERIES
