1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
specifications, instructions, and graphics needed to
diagnose the PCM Powertrain System. The diag-
nostics in this manual are based on the failure
condition or symptom being present at time of
diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the appropriate modules; ie., if the DRBIIIt
displays a ``No Response'' condition, you must
diagnose this first before proceeding.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All system
schematics are in Section 10.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indi-
cates a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service manual for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
CODE. It is recommended that you review the
entire manual to become familiar with all new and
changed diagnostic procedures.
After using this book, if you have any comments
or recommendations, please fill out the form at the
back of the book and mail it back to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers the
following 2000 Chrysler Caravan Voyager vehicles
equipped with the 2.0L, 2.4L DOHC, 3.0L MPI,
3.3L/3.8L MPI, or 3.3L E85 compatible Engine.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the powertrain control module
(PCM) is done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
and controls:
²Fuel system
²Ignition system
²charging system
²speed control system
²cooling system
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) engine sys-
tems have the latest in technical advances. The
on-board Euro Stage III On-Board Diagnostic incor-
porated with the powertrain control module (PCM)
are intended to assist the field technician in repair-
ing vehicle problems by the quickest means.
3.2 FUNCTION OPERATION
3.2.1 FUEL CONTROL
The PCM controls the air/fuel ratio of the engine
by varying fuel injector on time. Mass air flow is
calculated using the speed density method using
engine speed, manifold absolute pressure, and air
temperature change.
Different fuel calculation strategies are used de-
pendent on the operational state of the engine.
During crank mode, a prime shot fuel pulse is
delivered followed by fuel pulses determined by a
crank time strategy. Cold engine operation is deter-
mined via an open loop strategy until the O2
sensors have reached operating temperature. At
this point, the strategy enters a closed loop mode
where fuel requirements are based upon the state of
the O2 sensors, engine speed, MAP, throttle posi-
tion, air temperature, battery voltage, and coolant
temperature.
1
GENERAL INFORMATION
ProCarManuals.com
The PCM determines the spark advance based on
the following:
± engine coolant temperature
± crankshaft position
± camshaft position
± intake air temperature
± manifold absolute pressure
± throttle position
Engine Warm-Up Mode -This is an open loop-
mode. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and
controls injector synchronization by controlling the
fuel injectors' ground paths. The PCM adjusts igni-
tion timing and engine idle speed. The PCM adjusts
the idle speed by controlling the idle air control
motor and spark advance.
Cruise or Idle Mode -When the engine is at
normal operating temperature, this is a closed loop
mode.
Acceleration Mode -This is a closed loop mode.
The PCM recognizes an increase in throttle position
and a decrease in manifold vacuum as engine load
increases. In response, the PCM increases the in-
jector pulse width to meet the increased load. The
A/C compressor may be de-energized for a short
period of time.
Deceleration -This is a closed loop mode. The
PCM recognizes a decrease in throttle position and
an increase in manifold vacuum as engine load
decreases. In response, the PCM decreases the
injector pulse width to meet the decreased load.
Full injector shut off may be obtained during high
speed deceleration.
Wide Open Throttle Mode -This is an open
loop mode. The throttle position sensor notifies the
PCM of a wide open throttle condition. Once a wide
open throttle is sensed, the PCM de-energizes the
A/C compressor clutch relay for 15 seconds.
3.2.5 NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems, and conditions even though they could
have malfunctions that result in driveability prob-
lems. A diagnostic code may not be displayed for the
following conditions. However, problems with these
systems may cause a diagnostic code to be displayed
for other systems. For example, a fuel pressure
problem will not register a diagnostic code directly,
but could cause a rich or lean condition. This could
cause an oxygen sensor, fuel system, or misfire
monitor trouble code to be stored in the PCM.
Engine Timing -The PCM cannot detect an
incorrectly indexed timing chain, camshaft
sprocket, or crankshaft sprocket. The PCM also
cannot detect an incorrectly indexed distributor.(*)
Fuel Pressure -Fuel pressure is controlled by
the fuel pressure regulator. The PCM cannot detecta clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged in-line filter,
or a pinched fuel supply.(*)
Fuel Injectors -The PCM cannot detect if a fuel
injector is clogged, the pintle is sticking, or the
wrong injectors are installed.(*)
Fuel Requirements -Poor quality gasoline can
cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and
stumble. Use of methanol-gasoline blends may re-
sult in starting and driveability problems. See indi-
vidual symptoms and their definitions in Section
6.0 (Glossary of Terms)
PCM Grounds -The PCM cannot detect a poor
system ground. However, a diagnostic trouble code
may be stored in the PCM as a result of this
condition.
Throttle Body Air Flow -The PCM cannot
detect a clogged or restricted air cleaner inlet or
filter element.(*)
Exhaust System -The PCM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted, or leaking exhaust system.(*)
Cylinder Compression -The PCM cannot de-
tect uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compres-
sion.(*)
Excessive Oil Consumption -Although the
PCM monitors the exhaust stream oxygen content
through the oxygen sensor when the system is in a
closed loop, it cannot determine excessive oil con-
sumption.
(*)NOTE: ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS
COULD RESULT IN A RICH OR LEAN
CONDITION CAUSING AN OXYGEN SENSOR
TROUBLE CODE TO BE STORED IN THE
PCM, OR THE VEHICLE MAY EXHIBIT ONE
OR MORE OF THE DRIVEABILITY
SYMPTOMS LISTED IN THE TABLE OF
CONTENTS.
3.2.6 SKIS OVERVIEW
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is an
immobilizer system design to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. The system consists of a Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), ignition key(s)
equipped with a transponder chip and engine con-
troller. When the ignition switch is turned on, the
SKIM interrogates the ignition key. If the ignition
key is ``Valid'', the SKIM sends a CCD Bus message
to the engine controller indicating the presence of a
valid igntion key. Upon receiving a ``Valid'' key
signal the PCM will allow the engine to continue to
operate.
3.2.7 SKIM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The SKIM has been programmed to transmit and
monitor many different coded messages as well as
CCD Bus messages. This monitoring is called ``On
Board Diagnosis''.

CHARGER IF NECESSARY).
5. Press ``ENTER'' to transfer the secret key (the
SKIM will send the secret key to the PCM).
3.2.10 PROGRAMMING THE SENTRY KEY
IMMOBILIZER MODULE
NOTE:IF THE PCM AND THE SKIM ARE
REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME, PROGRAM
THE VIN INTO THE PCM FIRST. ALL VEHICLE
KEYS WILL THEN NEED TO BE REPLACED
AND PROGRAMMMED TO THE NEW SKIM.
1. Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/
neutral).
2. Use the DRB and select ``THEFT ALARM'',
``SKIM'' then MISCELLLANEOUS.
3. Select ``SKIM MOSULE REPLACEMENT (GAS-
OLINE)''
4. Program the vehicle four-digit PIN into the
SKIM.
5. Select ``COUNTRY CODE'' and enter the correct
country.
NOTE:BE SURE TO ENTER THE CORRECT
COUNTRY CODE. IF THE INCORRECT
COUNTRY CODE IS PROGRAMMED INTO
SKIM, THE SKIM MUST BE REPLACED.
6. Select ``UPDATE VIN'' (the SKIM will learn the
VIN from the PCM).
7. Press ``ENTER'' to transfer the VIN (the PCM
will send the VIN to the SKIM).
8. The DRB will ask if you want to transfer the
secret key. Select ``ENTER'' to transfer secret key
from the PCM. This will ensure the current
vehicle ignition keys will still operate the SKIS
system.
3.2.11 PROGRAMMING THE IGNITION
KEYS TO THE SENTRY KEY
IMMOBILIZER MODULE
1. Turn the ignition on (transmission in park/
neutral).2. Use the DRB and select ``THEFT ALARM'',
``SKIM'' then ``MISCELLANEOUS''.
3. Select ``PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS''.
4. Enter secured access mode by entering the vehi-
cle four-digit PIN.
NOTE:A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT KEYS CAN BE
LEARNED TO EACH SKIM. ONCE A KEY IS
LEARNED TO A SKIM IT (THE KEY) CANNOT
BE RANFERRED TO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the
DRB will display one of the following messages:
Programming Not Attempted -The DRB at-
tempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmmed in the SKIM
memory.
Programming Key Failed -(Possible Used Key
From Wrong Vehicle) - SKIM is unable to program
key due to one of the following:
- faulty ignition key transponder
- ignition key is programmed to another vehicle.
8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not
Done -SKIM transponder ID memory is full.
1. Obtain ignition keys to be programmed from
customer (8 keys maximum)
2. Using the DRB, erase all ignition keys by select-
ing ``MISCELLANEOUS'' and ``ERASE ALL
CURRENT IGN. KEYS''
3. Program all ignition keys.
Learned Key In Ignition -Ignition key tran-
sponder ID is currently programmed in SKIM mem-
ory.
3.3 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing procedure. The diagnos-
tic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of trouble codes as well as
no trouble code problems. It is not necessary to
perform all of the tests in this book to diagnose an
individual code.
Always begin by reading the diagnostic trouble
codes using the DRBIIIt.
3.3.1 HARD CODE
A diagnostic trouble code that comes back within
one cycle of the ignition key is a ªhardº code. This
means that the defect is there every time the
powertrain control module checks that circuit or
function. Procedures in this manual verify if the
trouble code is a hard code at a the beginning of
each test. When it is not a hard code, an ªintermit-
tentº test must be performed.
Codes that are for Euro Stage III OBD monitors will
not set with just the ignition key on. Comparing these
7
GENERAL INFORMATION
ProCarManuals.com
to non-emission codes, they will seem like an intermit-
tent. These codes require a set of parameters to be
performed (The DRBIIItpre-test screens will help
with this for MONITOR codes), this is called a ªTRIPº.
All EURO STAGE III OBD DTCs will be set after one
or in some cases two trip failures, and the MIL will be
turned on. These codes require three successful (no
failures) TRIPS to extinguish the MIL, followed by 40
warm-up cycles to erase the code.
3.3.2 INTERMITTENT CODE
A diagnostic trouble code that is not there every
time the PCM 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 Hotline Newsletters or technical
service bulletins that may apply.
²Use the DRBIIItdata recorder or co-pilot.
²Use the DRBIIItPEP module lab scope.
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 PCM and can be viewed on the DRBIIItas
STARTS since set.
When there are no trouble codes stored in mem-
ory, the DRBIIItwill display ªNO DTC'S Detectedº
and the reset counter will show ªSTARTS since
clear = XXX.º
3.3.4 HANDLING NO TROUBLE CODE
PROBLEMS
Symptom checks cannot be used properly unless
the driveability problem characteristic actually
happens while the vehicle is being tested.
Select the symptom that most accurately de-
scribes the vehicle's driveability problem and then
perform the test routine that pertains to this symp-
tom. Perform each routine test in sequence until the
problem is found. For definitions, see Section 6.0

3.5.1 DRB IIITDOES 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 is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result of a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring. For a blank screen, refer to the
appropriate body 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.
