WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Plymouth Voyager, 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996 Dodge Caravan, and 1996 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before proceeding with diagnosis, certain precautions must be followed. See PRETEST INSPECTION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
Diagnostic test procedures are designed to detect system faults as quickly as possible. Body Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are accessed through Data Link Connector (DLC). Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool or generic scan tool, is used to access information from DLC.
A 1996 diagnostic program cartridge, scan tool, body diagnostics cable, hand-held oil pressure gauge, jumper wires, and digital volt-ohmmeter will be needed for testing. Proceed to TEST 1A in this article.
