DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
NS vehicle instrument clusters are equipped with a
self diagnostic test feature to help identify electronic
problems. Prior to any test, perform Self Diagnostic
Test. The self diagnostic system monitors the CCD
bus messages. If an electronic problem occurs, a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be displayed in
the odometer window of the cluster.
The following CCD bus messages are continuously
monitored by the diagnostic system:
²Body Control Module
²Powertrain Control Module
²Transmission Control Module, if equipped
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Using a Digital Multimeter, equipped with a diode
test to perform the Headlamp Switch Test below (Fig.
1).
Switch position possibilities are open (no continu-
ity), continuity, resistance value in ohms, or diode
test. Use the values in the third column to determine
meter setting. If Headlamp Switch is not within spec-
ifications replace as necessary.
The Chrysler Town and Country is available with
optional Automatic Headlamps. For diagnosis, refer
to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST
To activate self diagnostic program:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
depress the TRIP and RESET buttons.
(2) While holding the TRIP and RESET button
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Continue to hold the TRIP and RESET buttons
until the word CODE appears in the odometer win-
dows (about five seconds) then release the buttons. If
a problem exists, the system will display Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's). If no problem exists, the code
999 (End Test) will momentarily appear.
DIM TEST
When CHEC-0 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, the cluster's vacuum fluorescent (VF) displayswill dim down. If the VF display brightness does no
change, a problem exists in the cluster.
