Section 84 (Engine Controls - System/Component Tests - 3.0L): Introduction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Plymouth Voyager, 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 1995 Dodge Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Testing procedures not covered in this article require a Chrysler Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB). See TESTS W/CODES - 3.0L article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

Before testing individual components or systems, perform procedures in BASIC TESTING - 3.0L article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Since many computer controlled and monitored components set a fault message if they malfunction, also perform procedures in TESTS W/CODES - 3.0L article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

NOTE: Testing of individual components does not isolate possible shorts or opens in wiring harness of electronically controlled systems. Perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance unless otherwise instructed in procedure. Use an ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
