Self-Diagnostic System: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2001 Plymouth Neon, 2001 Dodge Stratus, 2001 Dodge Neon, 2001 Dodge Intrepid, and 2001 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

NOTE: Sebring Coupe and Stratus Coupe models have no self-diagnostic capabilities. See ON-VEHICLE TESTING .

If a problem is sensed in a monitored circuit, a DTC will be stored in PCM memory. Voltage indicator light and Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will illuminate, provided specific criteria are met. A specific DTC results from a particular system failure. DTC only indicates problem in circuit. It does not identify specific component failure in circuit.

If problem is repaired or ceases to exist, PCM automatically clears DTC after 40 warm-up cycles. DTCs can also be cleared using scan tool. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
