2000 CHRYSLER CARAVAN wiring

3.3.2 Intermittent Code
A diagnostic trouble code that is not there every time the engine control module/SKIM checks the
circuit is an ªintermittentº code. Most intermittent codes are caused by wiring or connector
problems. Defects that come and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose; they must be
looked for under specific conditions that cause them. The following checks may assist you in
identifying a possible intermittent problem:
²Visually inspect related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or
corroded terminals.
²Visually inspect the related harnesses. Look for chafed, pierced, or partially broken wire.
²Refer to any hotlines or technical service bulletins that may apply.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can cause an intermittent system malfunction. This
interference can interrupt communication between the ignition key transponder and the SKIM.
3.3.3 Reset Counter
The reset counter counts the number of times the vehicle has been started since codes were last
set, erased, or the battery was disconnected. The reset counter will count up to 255 start counts.
The number of starts helps determine when the trouble code actually happened. This is recorded
by the ECM and can be viewed on the DRB as the RESET COUNTER.
When there are no trouble codes stored in memory, the DRB will display ªNO TROUBLE CODES
FOUNDº and the reset counter will show ªRESET COUNT = XXX.º

3.5.1 DRB Does Not Power Up
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at start up, check for loose cable connections or
a bad cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11
volts at DLC cavity 16 is required to adequately power the DRB. Check for proper ground
connection at DLC cavities 4 and 5.
If all connections are proper between the DRB and the vehicle or other devices, and the vehicle
battery is fully charged, an inoperative DRB may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle wiring. For
a blank screen, refer to the appropriate diagnostics manual.
3.5.2 Display is Not Visible
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.
