PCM Codes


Background: The information described below allows you to determine
why the Check Engine light is illuminated.




About the PCM


When an fault with your car is detected it stores the fault in it's internal EEPROM. Normally, you have to take your car to a dealer to have the problem diagnosed. Thanks to Chrysler's and Mitsubishi's ingenuity, the codes can be displayed with a few simple turns of the ignition key. Although the
codes listed will help you diagnose a problem with your car, they do not allow for complete diagnosis and/or also may not even be the actual problem.

For complete diagnosis you will require a scan tool and a service manual. I can't stress enough the help that the service manual provides for problem diagnosis. Everyone should own a service manual if they are planning to do any work on their car.

THE KEYDANCE

To check the PCM codes, insert the key into the ignition and switch the key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON within a 5 sec. time period. Then count the Engine light flashes. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause between the flashes representing the first and second digits of the code. Longer pauses separate indivdual trouble codes. All codes will end with 55 which signifies End of Codes / No detected failure.

IF A CODE IS A LINK

Click on it, and you should have a detailed way to troubleshoot the code.




The diagnostic items are shown in the following table. Note that a faults numeric codes are different,
depending on the method of inspection.
