WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Dodge Intrepid, 2000 Chrysler LHS, 2000 Chrysler Intrepid, 2000 Chrysler Concorde, and 2000 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Ensure battery is fully charged. Connect DRB to data link connector. Ensure communication exists with mechanical instrument cluster, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Occupant Restraint Controller/Air Bag Control Module (ORC/ACM) before proceeding. If any communication problems exist, go to TEST 1A: VEHICLE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS under VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS.
Using DRB, read and record both active and stored codes. If any of following codes (active or stored) are present, replace ORC/ACM.
- ACCELEROMETER (active or stored code)
- FIRING STORED ENERGY (active or stored code)
- INTERNAL #1 (active or stored code)
- INTERNAL #2 (active or stored code)
- NO PCI TRANSMISSION (active Code)
- OUTPUT DRIVER #1 (active or stored code)
- OUTPUT DRIVER #2 (active or stored code)
If any other active codes are present, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC FAULT MESSAGES table. If any other stored codes are present, go to TEST 1B: REPAIRING STORED CODES .
