The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has released its Chrysler OBDII Trouble Code Quick-Reference guide covering a number of Chrysler models.
This 550 page guide, the second in ATG’s Technician Reference series, covers all Chryslers and Dodge (gas engine) cars, (2003-2008), including the Concorde and Intrepid, Avenger (3.5L), Charger and Magnum , Caliber, Viper, PT Cruiser, Sebring and Stratus (Coupe and Sedan), and Neon and Pacifica.
There is extra coverage for automatic transmission codes. This information can be used along with your scan tool to quickly identify a fault, determine what conditions were present when the trouble code set, identify possible causes, and determine how to drive the vehicle to validate the repair, according to ATG. The Trouble Code pre-conditions (enable criteria) included with each Trouble Code in this handbook are the key to proper diagnosis and repair of Trouble Codes on late model Chrysler vehicles.
In addition to the trouble code information described above, the handbook contains an overview of OBDII theory, including OBDII Monitor explanations and Drive Cycle graphics. This information is critical for the running of monitors to verify a repair, which prevents embarrassing comebacks. The handbook also contains Mode $06 information, concentrating on the newer CAN Mode $06
With its coil bound construction, this time-saving information source is at home inside the vehicle, on the fender, or on the workbench.
