Chrysler Dodge Plymouth Trouble Codes and Retrieval Method
Most Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth automobiles have a
diagnostic trouble code retrieval method, Unlike
Gm and Ford cars the Chrysler line of cars has no data port connector to gather
codes from. Instead Chrysler has a ignition cycle activation sequence that anyone
can active by turning the ignition
key on off in rapid succession five times with the cycle ending in the "on"
position. Once this activation has started the
check engine light will start to flash. The first set of check engine light
flashes will be the first digit of the two number code.
After the check engine light pauses for a short time it will start to blink again
starting the second digit identification and completing the code's second number.
If additional trouble codes are stored in the computer the first digit will begin
to flash, and then the second digit. For example: the check engine light flashes
four times, pauses and then flashes three more times the code is 43. The check engine
light will flash one and then two meaning the code gathering is over. The system
will only flash 12 if there are no codes stored in the computer's memory. To clear
codes disconnect the negative battery terminal for 30 seconds and reconnect.
