ImportantPlease Read
When you are using this manual to diagnose a vehicle, take the time to determine the type of tester that you
are working with and be sure you are using the correct cables and adapters. Doing so may prevent misuse of
application cartridges and incorrect vehicle diagnosis. Refer to Chapter 4 for complete information on the
correct cables and adapters to use depending on which tester you have and the vehicle you are diagnosing.
Using This Manual
Reading through this manual before putting your MTS 3100 to work introduces you to all of its capabilities
and tell you how to use them immediately. The application software is designed to reduce time-consuming
reference to manuals as much as possible. Once you are familiar with the software and its operation, you'll
be able to spend more time diagnosing and less time reading. Later, if questions arise, a quick glance at the
flow chart for the test you are performing is probably all you need.
The flow charts in this manual consist of screen displays enclosed in boxes. The displays are arranged in the
order in which they appear while using the software. Keys on the tester keypad are shown in the manual as
white letters in small black boxes. At the end of each test mode description, there is a list of the active tester
keys and their functions in that particular test.
Note that if you are using the MTS 3100, the display looks different for vehicle selection and data list
software. Otherwise, the diagnostic routines are the same Tech 1/1A displays as those shown in this manual.
Refer to the MTS 3100 Operators Manual for examples of MTS 3100 displays.
Most display screens require input from you, such as Y, N, or X. To respond when the tester
asks for information, press the appropriate key on the tester keypad. Although there are exceptions, pressing
X generally takes you back to the previous screen or to the beginning of a process.
Please read Chapter 2 before beginning diagnostics for the first time.

The Chrysler Powertrain application is used to diagnose and troubleshoot the Electronic Engine Control
(EEC) systems used on 1983 through 2004 Chrysler vehicles. This application supports testing of Throttle
Body Fuel Injection (TBI), Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI), Turbo-charged systems, as well as Feedback
Carburetor (FBC) systems. A complete list of Chrysler engine types that can be tested with the Chrysler
Powertrain application is given in Chapter 4.
The tester guides you through engine type selection by questions, engine VIN code selection, or
automatically by communicating with the EEC. The tester lets you monitor data and control EEC operation
by communicating with the EEC via the Serial Communication Interface (SCI) Diagnostic Connector
present in the vehicle. When diagnosing electronic transmissions, the tester performs automatic
identification of the EATX module and allows you to perform diagnostics.
When using this application on 1995-2004 OBD II equipped vehicles, the tester displays diagnostic data
parameters based on Chrysler SCI diagnostic data. The displayed diagnostic information is in favor of the
increased capability of Chrysler SCI diagnostic data, rather than the Generic OBD II diagnostic data list or
operating modes. Additionally, on OBD II equipped vehicles, new emission related parameters (e.g.,
downstream O2S) and DTCs can be displayed.
In addition, the Chrysler Powertrain application is used to diagnose and troubleshoot Chrysler Electronic
Automatic Transmissions (EATX) on selected 1988 to 2004 Chrysler minivans, trucks, and passenger cars.
This application supports tests for the electronic transmissions that communicate on the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) bus, the PCI Bus, and through the Powertrain Control Module. Transmission coverage is
listed in tables in Chapter 4.
OPERATING MODES
The test modes available vary according to the specific configuration of the vehicle being tested and the
system you wish to test. Before testing can begin, the tester asks you to enter certain information such as the
model year, the type of vehicle being tested, the system you wish to test, and other specific information.
How to enter the information is explained in Chapter 4.
Once the information is entered, a Select Mode menu is displayed showing the test modes available for the
selected vehicle. Only test modes available for the selected vehicle are displayed in the menus. Not all test
modes described in this manual are available for every vehicle.
DATA LIST
Displays Sensor and Input/Output data about the current condition of the system. Examples include Engine
RPM, Purge Duty Cycle, and Fuel Status.
CDR - ENGINE
Provides performance similar to Chrysler Diagnostic Readout Box such as reading DTCs, perform output
controls, and display diagnostic data. This mode is not applicable to all vehicles.
DTCs
Displays Diagnostic Trouble Codes recorded by the powertrain ECU. Freeze Frame information is available
for applicable model years. The ability to Clear DTC information is also found in this mode.
SNAPSHOT
Gives you the ability to capture Data List information for later analysis. Trigger point and trigger type are
selectable by the user.
INFORMATION
Displays helpful information about the vehicle or system under test. This information may consist of PCM
software identification, monitor information, or system identification.
INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains precautions that are very important when using Vetronix testers and application
software with a vehicle. Failure to observe these precautions could affect the operation of the tester, the
accuracy of data and tests, and at times your safety.
Read all of this chapter before you operate the tester and application software (cartridges). Safeguards have
been built into the tester to protect you, the vehicle, and the tester from any hazards. Misuse or improper
securing of the vehicle could lead to unsafe conditions.
If power is applied to the tester and the Tech 1A or Tech 1 display remains
CAUTION! blank or the green LED on the MTS 3100 does not illuminate when turned
off, reverse polarity in the cigarette lighter may be present. Damage to the
CAUTION tester could occur. DO NOT connect the ALDL/DLC cable to the vehicle.
Verify that the center contact of the vehicles cigarette lighter has +12
volts and that the outer contact is grounded.
CAUTION! Due to the possibility of voltage spikes that could damage the vehicle or
tester, do not connect or disconnect the tester while the ignition key is ON
CAUTION
or while the engine is running.
CAUTION
If you remove or change master cartridges, or power up the tester without a
master cartridge or with a different master cartridge, you will lose the
snapshot data.
Under some conditions the tester can cause trouble codes to be set.
Generally these codes are associated with the serial data link. It is
CAUTION! important to determine if the trouble codes are set by the tester or are due
to a true malfunction in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Check for trouble codes at the start and at the end of testing. If there are
codes set at the end of testingbut not at the startyou may assume that
they are caused by the tester and should be cleared and ignored.
On some Chrysler vehicles the DLC is located near the battery. When
CAUTION! connecting the Chrysler 6-pin adapter to the vehicle DLC, arrange the
adapter so it cannot come in contact with the positive battery terminal,
CAUTION
which could result in damage to the adapter and DLC cable and possibly
create a fire hazard.
Use this section to assist you in operating your Vetronix tester and application software. It covers everything
needed to get your tester connected to the vehicle and begin performing the diagnostic functions. It is
suggested that you read this manual completely before operating the tester and the application software.

6. If the display is correct, turn the ignition ON and you are ready to proceed with selecting the vehicle
model year. Continue to Perform Vehicle and/or System Selection.
If the display reads:
MASTER CARTRIDGE
IS MISSING OR
MALFUNCTIONING
The tester is receiving power but the cartridge is not making good contact, or else the wrong DLC cable
and/or adapter are installed. If this happens, do the following:
Remove and reinsert the cartridge making sure that the cartridge is properly seated.
Verify that the correct DLC cable is installed.
See Step 4 to determine if the vehicle you are testing requires a DLC cable adapter. If an adapter is
required, verify that the correct one is installed.
If the display is blank, the tester is not receiving power. In this case, perform the following checks:
Disconnect and reconnect the tester DC power plug at the cigarette lighter socket.
Make sure that both the tester DC power plug and cigarette lighter socket have good, clean contacts.
Verify that 12V power is available at the center contact of the cigarette lighter socket, and that the
outside contact of the lighter socket is grounded.
Check the vehicle's cigarette lighter fuse.
Check the fuse in the cigarette lighter plug on the end of the tester DC power cable.
If the display is still not correct, Appendix A lists possible causes for the malfunction and recommendations
to remedy the problem. If the problem persists, perform the tester Self-test as described in the basic tester
Operator's Manual.
NOTE
The tester Self-test does not operate with the application cartridge
installed.
ACTIVE KEYS
ENGINE SYSTEMS
Since not all tests are available for all years and all models, the display screen varies according to the
vehicle under diagnosis. Only tests applicable to the particular vehicle are displayed. For instance, most
1989 and later models do not support CDR mode, so F1: CDR is not displayed on the test selection menu.
If you are testing 1983-1988 models, you can identify the engine type either by VIN code or fuel system by
making selections according to the vehicle under test. The engine identification process is the same for each
1983-1988 model year, but the tester display questions are slightly different because each model year has
different engine types. To make selections, press N until the correct information is displayed, then press
the Y key. After the correct engine type has been identified, diagnosis may begin. Some vehicles that
are pre-1989 require the engine to be running in order to run diagnostics.
For model years 1989 and later, Chrysler vehicles have the ability to automatically identify the engine type
after the system selection. Because the tester needs to communicate with the EEC for identification, MAKE
SURE THE IGNITION IS ON WHEN SELECTING ENGINE SYSTEM. If engine type identification is
correct, press Y and diagnosis may begin.
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
After selection of transmission system, the tester automatically identifies the transmission module for model
years 1988 and later. Because the tester needs to communicate with the transmission ECU for identification,
MAKE SURE THE IGNITION IS ON WHEN SELECTING THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.
For model years 1996 and later, most Rear Wheel Drive vehicles that have a 4-speed electronically
controlled automatic transmission (4xRE) support diagnostics through the engine controller. Transmission
data parameters and output tests are embedded in the engine data list and engine output control list. F0:
ENGINE must be selected to diagnose these transmissions.

Press ) to choose the engine VIN code select method, or press ! - $ to choose the corresponding
Fuel System select method.
In some cases a given VIN code applies to more than one engine or vehicle type. In this case, if the select

If none of the select messages correspond to the vehicle, recheck the VIN code (8th digit).
For some model years, there are engines of the same size and with the same engine VIN number that must
be distinguished by looking at the 5th character (car line/series) in the VIN code (see Figure 4-6).
1987 SELECT:
F0: VIN F3: TURBO
F1: TBI F4: CARB

The engine selection process is the same for each 1983-1988 model year, but the tester display questions are
slightly different because each model year has different engine types. The series of display questions make
up an Engine Select Tree. Refer to the following pages for complete Select Tree diagrams showing exactly
how to select each engine type in each model year.
1989 Turbo II
The 1989 Turbo II does not have the automatic engine selection capability (or other 1989 diagnostic
functions) because it is actually a carry-over 1988 system. Because of this, after you select model year 1989,
the screen displays the following:
89 [YES/NO]
If you are testing a 1989 2.2L Turbo II model, press Y in response to this display. You are then asked to
select the specific TURBO II system. Press N until the correct SMEC number is displayed, then press
Y. The SMEC number (Single Module Electronic Controller) can be found on the SMEC unit under the
hood.
If you are only using F1: CDR or F2: DTCs, it doesnt matter which SMEC is selected. To perform F0:
DATA LIST or F3: SNAPSHOT, the correct SMEC must be selected.
If the SMEC label is missing, there are some steps to help you determine which SMEC you are testing.
First, select either of the SMEC options displayed on the display screen, then start the engine and let it idle.
Check the engine idle speed as described in F0: DATA LIST mode. The displayed idle speed reading should
be correlated to the actual engine speed. If it is, youve selected the correct SMEC for the vehicle being
tested. If the idle speed reading does not appear to be the actual engine speed (much higher or lower), press
X, select the other SMEC option, then perform the idle test again.
ALL 1989 and LATER MODELS (EXCEPT 1989 2.2L TURBO II)
Selecting Engine from the system menu causes the tester to automatically communicate with the EEC to
determine the engine type and display it for your acknowledgment. If the engine type displayed does not
match the engine you are testing, press X and reselect the model year. If the engine matches the vehicle
you are testing, press Y to move to the test mode selection menu and begin diagnosis. If the display on
the tester does not match the vehicle you are testing, confirm that the correct controller is installed in the
vehicle.
The tester displays the test mode selection menu, as shown in Figure 4-7. Since not all tests are available for
all years and all models, the display screen varies according to the model selected. Only tests applicable to
the particular vehicle selected are displayed. For instance, most 1989 and later models do not support CDR
mode, so F1: CDR is not displayed on the test selection menu.

On OBD II vehicles, the VIN can be read electronically from the Information Mode.
Below is an example of a DaimlerChrysler Corporation VIN. The location of the body type (car line/series),
engine type, and model year characters are indicated.
TYPICAL VIN 1 P 4F H 4 0 3 0 J X 2 1 4 5 8 9
VIN CHARACTER 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
The information included in the VIN, when used with the select tree diagrams and the VIN charts
(immediately following this chapter), can be used to verify engine type selection. The select tree diagrams
list the correct 8th VIN digit for each engine type selection displayed by the tester. The VIN charts list the
engine code (8th digit), model year (10th digit), and the car line (5th digit), when it is necessary to
distinguish from other engine types.
This chapter provides a detailed description of each test available in this application. Following the test
descriptions, step-by-step instructions tell you how to quickly perform the test. A list of the active keys for
each test is included at the end of each test mode.

To select a test mode, simply press the key listed to the left of the test mode on the menu. Since there are up
to seven test modes available, keys ) - * are used.
The tester displays only three test modes at a time. To see the other test modes, scroll the menu down by
pressing the u key. Pressing the d key scrolls the menu up. Regardless of which text modes are
displayed, any test mode can be selected at any time from the menu.
Once you have selected the test mode, operation begins. Detailed operating instructions for each test mode
are given in this section. To return to the Test Mode menu, press X.
The tester displays data parameters in pre-programmed data parameter pairs for each engine (or
transmission) type. You can also create your own pairs through the process explained on page 79.
NOTE Pre-programmed data lists are constructed to support the vehicle with the
most diagnostic information. For this reason, there may be parameters that
are not applicable to the vehicle under test.
This display points out the three most likely causes of a NO DATA condition:
The ignition is not ON.
The data link cable and Chrysler adapter are not firmly connected to the vehicle Diagnostic
Connector.
The model year selection is incorrect.
If the tester successfully receives data parameters from the EEC, but then communication is lost, the
Data List display flashes. This tells you that the tester and EEC are no longer communicating, while
allowing you to still display the last data parameters received by the tester.

To see the other pre-programmed data pairs available for the engine type youve selected, press either the
Y or N key. The Y key causes the tester to scroll forwards through the list of pre-programmed
pairs. The N key causes backwards scrolling.
Appendix C contains a description of all engine and transmission data parameters and tables showing which
data parameters can be monitored for each engine type. Not all data parameters are transmitted by every
EEC (or EATX controller); therefore, not all data parameters can be monitored for each EEC (or EATX
controller).
New data pairs are created simply by scrolling either the bottom or top display parameter, while the other
display parameter is fixed. Pressing ) causes the top display parameter to be fixed, which is indicated
with a * in the left column of the second line of the display, as shown in Fig. A in Figure 5-2. Pressing !
causes the bottom display parameter to be fixed, as shown in Fig. B. To unfix the top parameter, press !.
Press ) to unfix the lower parameter. The tester wont allow both top and bottom parameters to be fixed
at the same time.
As an example, lets say you wish to create a pair with ENGINE SPEED and BARO. To do so, scroll
through the pre-programmed pairs with the Y or N key until you find a pair with ENGINE SPEED.

An OBD II vehicle has the capability to store diagnostic information that is related to the setting of a
particular emission related DTC. This data is referred to as Freeze Frame Data and can be read by the tester
using the FREEZE DATA mode.
For model year 2000 and later, all trucks and some passenger car vehicles are capable of supporting two
frames of FREEZE FRAME data. If there are two frames available, a menu is displayed allowing the user to
select the FREEZE FRAME data for the desired DTC. If there is only one FREEZE FRAME, the data is

In this mode, you specify a trigger condition, and the tester stores data both before and/or after the trigger
occurrence.
After the data has been captured, you can scroll through all of the stored data for display. Data parameters
are displayed in a manner identical to that of the Data List mode. You can also specify the data sample you
wish to display, as described in Step 10.
In addition, the cartridge has the capability to print the captured data providing a hard copy of any selected
data sample.
Note that your tester has been set up to capture data parameters at the fastest rate possible. When diagnosing
electronic transmissions that support a custom data list, a smaller list benefits you by reducing the time
between data parameter samples which can aid in intermittent fault diagnosis.
SELECTING SNAPSHOT
The operation of the SNAPSHOT mode is divided into three phases: Set-Up, Data Capture, and Data
Display. The sequence of operations is depicted in the flow chart in Figure 5-15.
SNAPSHOT
F0: ANY DTC
F1: SINGLE DTC
F2: MANUAL TRIG
F3: REPLAY DATA
You have the option of bypassing the Data Capture phase and displaying previously captured data by
selecting F3:REPLAY DATA. All data captured during snapshot is retained in the tester until it is
overwritten by a new snapshot or if the power is disconnected for more than 30 minutes.
You also have the option to replay the snapshot data without being connected to the vehicle. If the tester
has a stored a snapshot, you can access it from the Select System menu by pressing @.
4. If you select F0: ANY DTC, the tester triggers the snapshot upon recognizing any DTC that is stored in
the vehicles engine controller. If you are testing an NGC Engine System, the data list to be captured in
snapshot must also be selected.
If you select F1:SINGLE DTC, the tester asks you to enter the desired EEC fault code number.
Depending on the model year vehicle, you can be asked to enter a 2-digit DTC, a hexadecimal DTC, or
an OBD II P-code. You should enter the fault code, then press the E key. If the code you enter
does not exist for the engine type being tested, an INVALID CODE message is displayed and the code
has to be reentered. If you are testing an NGC Engine System, the data list to be captured in snapshot
must also be selected.

Go to data display phase of Snapshot mode.
NOTE
During the Data Display phase, the fault codes present during each sample
can be displayed by pressing @.
10. Use the U and D keys to select the desired sample. An index is displayed in the lower right-hand
corner of the tester display. Sample 0 corresponds to the trigger sample; sample -1 is the sample
immediately proceeding the trigger; sample +1 is immediately after the trigger; and so on. The index
range may be less than the maximum number of samples if enough time was not allowed for data capture
before or after the trigger.
The following keys can be used to move about more quickly in the data display phase:
$: Display first (earliest) sample
%: Display trigger sample (0)
^: Display last (most recent) sample
11. Pressing E causes the sample time to be displayed instead of the sample index:
Sample

BRAKE SWITCH
OPEN +3.4
The sample time display gives the time in seconds (relative to the trigger sample) at which the tester
received the currently displayed sample. For example, a sample time of +3.4 means the sample was
received 3.4 seconds after the trigger sample. A sample time of -0.6 seconds means the sample was
received 0.6 seconds before the trigger.
Pressing E causes the tester to toggle between the sample index and sample time displays.
12. The data parameters can be printed if the tester is connected to a compatible printer.
For instructions on connecting the printer to the tester and printing the data parameters, refer to the
operators manual if you are using a Tech 1A or MTS 3100. If you are using a Tech 1, refer to the
RS232C/IF Operators Manual.
13. When you are finished viewing the sampled data, press X to return to trigger select. If you are
finished with the SNAPSHOT mode, press X again to return to the Test Mode menu.
There are certain constraints to controlling some of the outputs. Some are determined by the vehicle
controller, and some are determined by the tester.
While controlling the outputs, the Data List parameters are displayed for most vehicles. The regular F0:
DATA LIST key functions are available for these vehicles.
For many output functions, the engine must be running before the control module allows an output to be
controlled by the tester. For some output functions, the engine must be off before the output can be
controlled.
NOTE
Check and clear DTCs after performing output controls or tests. DTCs
may be set when performing any output control or test.
The RPM Control test allows you to remotely control engine RPM from the tester. RPM can be varied
between approximately 900 and 2040 RPM. If an elevated RPM or diagnosis of the AIS motor is required
for any reason, this mode allows quick and easy control of the AIS motor.
CAUTION! This test should only be run with the parking brake on and wheels
adequately blocked. Any other mode of operation is not recommended and
CAUTION
is unsafe.
4. The tester initializes controlled RPM to the current value of RPM. Press the U to begin the RPM
Control test. You can increase the engine RPM by pressing the U key or decrease RPM by pressing the
D key. Holding down either key causes the engine speed to change in the appropriate direction. The
RPM can be controlled from approximately 900 to 2040 RPM.

appear at the end of line 2 of the display, and the currently commanded value of RPM is displayed at the
end of line 4. Data parameters can be scrolled and fixed as in the Data List mode.
6. Refer to the tester Operators Manual for instructions on printing the data parameters.
7. Press X to return to the OBD Controls menu and return control of the AIS motor to the EEC.
900 to 2040 RPM is only the range of control allowed by the tester.
NOTE Depending on current engine conditions, some engines may not achieve
2040 RPM, or may stall at 900 RPM. This does not necessarily indicate a
faulty AIS motor. Engine design, age, wear, or other system faults (e.g.,
vacuum air leaks) may be the cause.

Solenoid tests for the 4xRE transmission are listed in this section of the manual. Refer to the actuator list for
available tests.
The following OBD Controls are only applicable to 1989 and later models (except 1989 2.2L Turbo II).
F0: ENGINE: The Actuator Test submode allows you to control a number of individual actuators. Only
actuators applicable to the model selected appears in the Actuator Tests menu.
While controlling the actuators, the Data List parameters are displayed. All of the regular F0: Data List
functions are available.
NOTE When performing speed control actuator tests, speed control ON/OFF
switch must be ON and foot must be off brake pedal (remember to set
emergency brake).
NOTE
For F0: ENGINE the engine must be OFF before the EEC allows an
actuator to be controlled by the tester.
2. After a three second prompt message, a menu of the actuators available for the vehicle you are testing
appears. This menu can be scrolled up and down using the U and D keys, in a manner similar to
scrolling the Test Mode menu.
3. To select an actuator to control, press the numeric keys displayed to the left of the desired actuator, then
press E. For instance, if the actuator number on the left side of the display screen is 13, press 1,
then press 3, then press E. It is not necessary for the actuator to be currently displayed for you
to select it; any actuator can be selected from the menu at any time. Once an actuator is selected, you can
then begin controlling the state of that output.
4. A controlled actuator can be in one of two states:
Press the U key to override control of the EEC controller and force the actuator ON. Most solenoids
and relays are cycled on and off by the tester during the actuator test to prevent damage.
Press the D key to allow NORMAL EEC control. When the actuator is first selected, it is also under
normal EEC control.
Note that the actuator does not appear to change state if the commanded state is the same as the
controlled state. For example, if the Check Engine Light is ON, and it is then commanded ON with the
U key, its state does not change; it stays ON.
5. If you leave an actuator ON indefinitely, the EEC turns it off after seven minutes to prevent possible
damage to the actuator.
6. The Data List parameters are displayed while an actuator is being controlled. A two or three character
window is displayed at the end of line 2 of the display. These characters serve as a reminder as to which
actuator is being controlled. The last three characters of line 4 of the display reads ON if the state is
being overridden by the tester. It is blank when the actuator is under normal control.
7. If the engine is running, or the actuator is not available for the selected engine (e.g., shift light in an
automatic transmission), the tester may display:
ENG. RUNNING OR
REQUESTED TEST
NOT AVAILABLE
[EXIT]
NOTE In most cases, the tester displays only the actuators available for control in
the vehicle you are testing. However, in some cases you are able to select
an actuator for control that is not present in the vehicle. In this case, you
may or may not see the preceding display.
8. Refer to the tester Operators Manual for instructions on printing the data parameters.
9. When you are finished controlling the output, press X to return to the previous menu. When X
is pressed, control of the selected actuator is returned to the EEC. Press X again to return to the

This submode allows you to reset the Adaptive Fuel setting after a repair has been made. For instance, if a
rich fuel condition exists, the adaptive fuel parameter changes to dilute the mixture to a normal air/fuel ratio.
After the cause of the rich fuel condition is repaired, the adaptive fuel parameter memory should be reset to
its nominal setting. This reset is applicable to 1990 and later vehicles.
This submode allows you to reset the AIS Counter to a nominal position after a repair has been made. The
AIS Counter attempts to compensate for abnormal air/fuel ratio readings. For example, vacuum leaks cause
the AIS motor to fully extend. The EEC remembers the previous motor position and sets the motor in the
fully extended position at each start. After the vacuum leaks are repaired, this procedure should be
performed. This reset is applicable to 1990 and later vehicles.
This submode allows you to reset the Minimum Throttle memory after a repair has been made. For instance,
if the Throttle Position Sensor is replaced and the Minimum Throttle Position reading in the EEC memory is
different, this mode resets the minimum value to 1.25 volts. The Minimum Throttle memory then changes
as the EEC learns the new minimum throttle position. This reset is applicable to 1990 and later vehicles.
F3: Cam/Crank
This reset is only applicable to 1995 and later 2.0L Cirrus, Stratus, Breeze, and Neon vehicles.
F0: Sync
The Sync submode allows you to reset the lost Cam, Crank, and Sync status within the last 50 vehicle starts.
This procedure is performed on the applicable vehicles when a timing belt only has been replaced.
F1: Relearn
This submode allows the engine controller to relearn and write to memory the camshaft and crankshaft
alignment after a timing belt or related hardware have been serviced. The re-learn should only be done if
any of the following items have been serviced: Camshaft, Camshaft position sensor, Target Magnet,
Camshaft Sprocket, Crankshaft, Crankshaft Sprocket, Cylinder Block, Cylinder Head, Head Gasket, PCM,
Tensioner, Timing Belt, Water Pump.
This submode allows you to change the automatic door lock setting that is stored in the PCM memory of the
vehicle. You can enable or disable the automatic door locking feature that occurs when the vehicle reaches
15 miles per hour. This reset is applicable to 1994-97 LH and 1995-97 JA model vehicles.
This submode allows you to reset the Flex Fuel Percentage to zero following a service diagnostic drain/refill
event. It allows for the Flex Fuel Vehicle sensor to re-learn the percentage of ethanol content in the fuel.
This submode allows you to reset the Misfire Adaptive Numerator Values.
This submode allows you to reset the On-Board Diagnostic data stored in ECU memory. OBD data
includes DTCs, Freeze Frame Data, 1 Trip Failures, OBD II Readiness, Good Trips, and Warm-Up
Counters.
This submode allows you to reset the memory for OBD Data, all Adaptive Memory Cells, TPS Minimum

The following test is supported for all 1996 and newer vehicles.
This procedure allows you to reprogram a new Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with the vehicles
original identification number (VIN). When replacing a PCM with Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM), this procedure must be performed in order for the vehicle to operate. If you attempt to change a
VIN that is correctly stored in a PCM, the PCM does not allow you to change it. If the VIN stored in the
PCM is not valid, you are allowed to correct it.

The following solenoid tests are only applicable to 1988 and later 41TE/AE (A604), 42LE (A606), 45RFE,
and 42RLE EATX controllers which communicate using the CCD protocol or the PCI Bus data link.
NOTE Solenoid tests for the 4xRE transmission are not listed in this section of the
manual. Refer to Submode F1: Actuator Test on page 115 for support of
4xRE solenoid tests.
Depending on the selected solenoid, you can remotely control the transmission shift solenoid(s). Once
activated, the tester commands the EATX controller to cycle the selected solenoid ON/OFF. While
controlling the solenoid, Data List parameters are displayed. All of the regular F0: Data List functions are
available.
All solenoid tests can be performed with Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) or Key On, Engine Running
(KOER). Testing solenoids in a KOEO condition is useful when testing solenoid electrical circuits since the
danger from wheel rotation is eliminated (In KOEO testing, all solenoids are cycled 3 seconds ON, 3
seconds OFF).
Testing solenoids in a KOER condition is useful when testing solenoid electrical circuits and transmission
hydraulics. However, exercise care when performing KOER solenoid tests since you now are commanding
the transmission into a drive gear and wheel rotation can occur (remember to raise and support the wheels
when performing KOER solenoid tests).
Depress the brake pedal and place the shift lever in the park position before exiting the solenoid test.
Prior to performing an EATX Solenoid test, make sure drive wheels are
CAUTION! raised and supported. Before exiting any solenoid actuator test, depress the
brake pedal and place the shift lever in the PARK position. Further,

pass the reminder screens.
3. Once the tester displays the data list you are ready to begin the solenoid test. An actuator can be in one of
two controlled states:
Press the U key to override control of the EATX controller and force the solenoid test on. The
solenoid is cycled on and off by the tester during the actuator test to prevent damage.
Press the D key to return the solenoid test to normal EATX control.
4. If you leave the solenoid ON indefinitely, the EATX controller turns it off after three minutes to prevent
possible damage to the actuator.
5. The data list parameters are displayed while the solenoid actuator is being controlled. A two or three
character message is displayed at end of line 2 of the display. These characters serve as a reminder as to
which solenoid is being controlled. The last three characters of line 4 of the display reads ON if the
normal state is being overridden by the tester.
6. When you are finished performing the solenoid test, turn the solenoid ON then press X. When this
is performed, control of the selected solenoid is returned to the EATX controller.

Once a DTC is set, it remains in memory as a history code for 40-50 ignition cycles after the last occurrence.
If a DTC is present all of the time, it is also a current code.
On 1989 and newer models (except 1989 2.2L Turbo II), you can determine if there are any current codes by
viewing Key On information in Data List mode, or by studying the N (number) SINCE LAST FC, which is
part of the DTC Summary display. The Key On Cycles tells you the number of ignition cycles since the last
DTC was set. If a DTC is current, the Key On Cycles number equals 0.
If more than one DTC has been set for the 1990 and later models, the number of Key On cycles since the 2nd

The tester is capable of displaying a wide variety of engine or transmission data parameters in the F0: Data
List mode. The engine or transmission controller sends information to the tester regarding the state of the
system as the controller sees it. The tester translates and displays this information in the form of a list of
diagnostic data parameters. This chapter describes those parameters.
There are two basic types of data parameters: discrete and analog. Discrete parameters are bits of
information and can be in only one of four distinct states (high/low, energized/de-energized, on/off, P/N-
Gear). Switches and solenoids are examples of discrete parameters. Analog parameters are used to represent
quantities and are displayed as a value with appropriate units. Examples of analog parameters include Engine
Speed, Coolant Temperature, and Oxygen Sensor Voltage.
Engine system data parameters are those parameters that are supported by the SBEC I, II, III, JTEC, and
NGC controllers. They do not include parameters supported by the A604 (41TE), A606 (42LE), 45RFE, or
Aisin (AW4) transmission. A description of each parameter, the units, the range of the analog parameters,
and the state of the discrete parameters are provided beginning on page 207.
Transmission system data parameters are those parameters that are supported by the A604 (41TE), A606

2/3 Lockout Solenoid is an output from the EEC which controls the 2/3 gear operation.
The A/C clutch relay engages and disengages the air conditioning compressor. It is combined with the A/C
switch on later models.
A/C Control Relay is an output from the EEC to indicate to state of the controlled circuit.
A/C Cutout Relay is an EEC output which controls the voltage to the A/C compressor as a result of the
throttle position sensor.
Air conditioning high side sensor displays the input voltage to the air conditioning pressure sensor.
A/C Request input is high when the instrument panel switch, pressure switch, and evaporator switch are all
closed, and low when these conditions are not met.
When the A/C Switch is in the ON position, an input signal informs the EEC that the A/C has been selected.
The EEC adjusts the RPM to compensate for the increased engine load.
The A/C switch informs the EEC when the air conditioning is ON so the EEC can increase the idle speed to
compensate for the additional compressor load on the engine.
AAT ()
(AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE) UNITS RANGE
DEGREES C -40 127
DEGREES F -40 260
Ambient air temperature is the temperature of the battery and underhood air as determined by the battery
temperature sensor.
Ambient air temperature sensor determines the temperature of the battery and underhood air as determined
by the coolant temperature and inputs the information to the EEC.
Actual Governor Pressure is an input value to the EEC based on the governor pressure transducer reading
which provides feedback for regulation of the transmission governor pressure.
Additive Fuel 2 is the adaptive adjustment to fuel injector on-time calibrated at idle conditions due to
various inputs.
This solenoid controls vacuum to the switch relief valve. Before the engine warms enough to go into closed
loop, vacuum is applied to the valve directing air from the air pump upstream into the exhaust manifold.
Once the engine has warmed up and is in closed loop, the vacuum to the switch is removed allowing the air
pump to direct air downstream into the catalytic converter.
If the EEC senses a low charging condition in the charging system, it illuminates the Generator Lamp.
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the EEC that the ASD relay has been activated. If the signal is not
seen when the ASD relay should be activated, a DTC is set.
AUTO SHUTDOWN
(ASD) RELAY STATES
ENERGIZED/DE-ENERGIZED
The ASD turns off the electric fuel pump if a distributor pickup signal is not received by the ASD within
two seconds after the ignition is turned on. The ASD relay should be energized when the engine is running.
Average Oxygen Sensor Signal displays the input analog oxygen sensor voltage for the upstream O2S. The
vehicle PCM categorizes the input oxygen sensor voltage as an average voltage value over a period of time.
This is helpful to identify a lazy or biased O2 sensor. The O2S voltage signal is a measure of oxygen in the
exhaust emission gases that surround the sensor tip.
Average Oxygen Sensor State displays the converted analog oxygen sensor voltage in two discrete states,
RICH or LEAN. The vehicle PCM categorizes the input upstream oxygen sensor voltage into the two rich or
lean categories using a programmed threshold (above threshold is rich state, below is lean state).
B1 voltage input is high when the ignition switch is in the Run position, and low when the ignition switch is
in the START position.
The current altitude (atmospheric pressure) of the vehicle is determined by the MAP sensor. For TBI and
Turbo models, the reading is obtained in the Key On, Engine Off setting.
Turbo models periodically take altitude or BARO readings by utilizing the BARO READ solenoid. This is
accomplished during deceleration when the BARO solenoid closes long enough for the engine computer to
read altitude or BARO.
BATTERY TEMP
SENSOR VOLTAGE UNITS RANGE
VOLTS 0 5V
The battery temperature is used by the EEC to vary the charging voltage rate; the colder the battery, the
higher the charging rate and the higher the sensor voltage.
Battery Voltage is an analog input signal read by the EEC. It is mainly used for diagnostics. Certain EEC
functions such as fuel injector pulse width and alternator field control are modified if the battery voltage
falls below or rises above programmed thresholds.
BOOST PRESSURE
(TURBO) UNITS RANGE
kPa 0 200
PSI 0 29
The amount of Turbo boost pressure required is determined by the MAP sensor: Boost = MAP - BARO.
The boost level above barometric pressure at which the engine controller is attempting to maintain MAP.
The brake switch signals the EEC in the event that the Throttle Position Sensor fails to indicate a closed
throttle condition.
CAM/CRANK
SYNC STATES
CAM ONLY/CRANK ONLY/CAM PASS/
CKP PASS/IN SYNC
This parameter displays the status of the cam and crank signals. If both the camshaft signal and crankshaft
signals are present, the parameter displays IN SYNC.
CHARGE TEMP
SENSOR VOLTAGE UNITS RANGE
VOLTS 0 5V
This is the sensor voltage corresponding to the charge temperature. The colder the temperature, the higher
the voltage.
CHARGE TEMPERATURE
(MFI & TURBO) UNITS RANGE
DEGREES C -40 127
DEGREES F -40 261
On some models, the O2 feedback system requires both air/fuel mixture temperature and coolant
temperature. Therefore, a temperature sensor mounted to the intake manifold measures the air/fuel mixture
temperature.
If the EEC detects a fault in any of its most vital circuits, the Check Engine lamp comes on and the EEC
system goes into the limp-in mode. The light stays off when the fault is corrected. The code is erased from
the EEC memory after thirty ignition cycles from the last occurrence of the fault.
The EEC illuminates the Check Gauges Lamp when a gauge value is out of normal operating range
The CKP Counter parameter is used by the PCM to detect the crankshaft sensor pulse. The PCM uses the
signal for determination of spark and/or fuel injection. Under normal conditions, the count increases.
Informs the EEC that the throttle is in the closed position (0.75V). Any position other than closed sends a
>0.75 V signal to the EEC.
The CMP Counter parameter is used by the PCM to detect the camshaft position sensor signal. The PCM
uses the signal to establish and maintain correct injector firing order. Under normal conditions, the count
increases.
CNG Pressure Sensor inputs the CNG pressure by voltage signal to the EEC.
CNG Pressure is the pressure of the fuel system after the pressure regulator as interpreted by the EEC.
CNG Temperature is temperature of the compressed natural gas in the fuel system as interpreted by the
EEC.
This sensor inputs the CNG temperature by voltage signal to the EEC.
On certain models, this relay supplies power for both the cooling fan motor and A/C compressor clutch. The
relay is activated, and the fan turned on, when the A/C is turned on, or when the coolant temperature reaches
a specified value.
Desired IAC is the EEC calculated stepper motor position that the EEC is trying to achieve.
The Desired Leak Detection Pump Solenoid displays the desired state of the LDP Solenoid as determined
by the engine controller. When the solenoid is de-energized, engine vacuum is blocked and atmospheric
pressure is allowed to enter the pump cavity. The Leak Detection Pump is used to detect an evaporative
system leak and is only used with certain emission packages.
Engine Coolant Temperature is an analog input to the EEC. The EEC reads the voltage at the coolant
temperature sensor and converts this voltage into temperature. The EEC uses engine coolant temperature to
determine things such as air-fuel mixture, idle speed, and cooling fan operation.
This is the engine coolant sensor voltage corresponding to the coolant temperature. The colder the
temperature, the higher the voltage.
This parameter displays the duty cycle of the control signal from the vehicle PCM to the EGR Solenoid.
Display is in percent on-time.
EGR Sensor Volts is the voltage received by the PCM from the EGR Sensor. Voltage is directly
proportional to the EGR Valve opening.
This solenoid controls ported vacuum to the EGR valve. When it is energized by the logic module, vacuum
to the EGR is blocked. The solenoid is energized when the coolant temperature is below 21 Deg C, the
engine speed is less than 1,200 RPM, or the throttle is in the wide open position.
Distributorless ignition system status information. Only valid during crank, this parameter indicates if there
was a cam sensor signal, a crank sensor signal, or if both signals are in sync during cranking. Otherwise, no
C/C SIG is displayed.
Emissions Maintenance Reminder lamp is used on 1989 and later trucks and minivans. The lamp
illuminates at predetermined odometer setting. Certain parts are to be replaced or certain maintenance
performed at this time.
Calculated load value indicates the percent engine capacity that is being used. It is calculated from a
measure of current engine airflow divided by engine peak airflow.
The engine speed in RPM is determined from the distributor reference pulses. The EEC uses engine speed to
make determinations about the operation of various engine management components.
This parameter displays the duty cycle of the control signal from the vehicle PCM to the fan relay. Display
is in percent on-time.
This output parameter is the feedback fuel control factor based on 02 sensor 1/1 input to the EEC.
This output parameter displays the fuel level of the vehicle as determined by the EEC.
The FUEL LEVEL (%) parameter is used by the JTEC control module to monitor percentage of fuel within

The AIS motor, under the control of the EEC, operates a valve that controls airflow through a channel in the
throttle body. This provides a preprogrammed idle speed for all operating conditions.
Intake air temperature is an analog input to the EEC. The EEC reads the voltage at the IAT Sensor and
converts this into temperature. The EEC uses intake air temperature as one of its tools to determine injector
pulse width and spark advance. If the IAT circuit fails, the EEC substitutes the IAT temperature.
This is the sensor voltage corresponding to the Intake Air Temperature. The colder the temperature, the
higher the voltage.
Ignition Sense input tells the EEC that the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
When the Ignition Switch is in the START/RUN position, this EEC input allows power to be supplied to the
fuel pump relay, EEC, and the engine starter motor.

The knock sensor is the piezoelectric type and is screwed into the intake manifold. It is tuned to a vibration
frequency that is characteristic of detonation (spark knock). When the detonation frequency is detected, a
signal is sent to the engine computer so the ignition timing can be adjusted to eliminate the knock. The
knock sensor circuit is disarmed below 1000 RPM and during high vacuum conditions.
LEAK DETECTION
PUMP SWITCH STATES

The LDP Switch is used to monitor the pump diaphragm position and sends the information to the engine
controller. The state changes depending on the pump diaphragm position. If the pump diaphragm is in the
down position, the switch is in a closed state and sends 12 volts to the PCM. The Leak Detection Pump is
used to detect an evaporative system leak and is only used with certain emission packages.

continually with engine operating conditions.
This is an EEC determined factor by which the fuel pulsewidth for bank #2 at each adaptive cell is adjusted.
After receiving a signal of low coolant from the low coolant switch, the EEC outputs a message to
illuminate the Low Coolant Lamp.
This switch is signals the EEC when the coolant is below the acceptable level.
Low Pressure Shutoff is an EEC output which controls the voltage to the A/C compressor as a result of the
low A/C pressure.
Depending on engine coolant temperature and A/C pressure, the EEC operates the fan.
The MTV Solenoid regulates the supply of vacuum to the manifold tuning valve during Wide Open Throttle
below 3000 RPM.
The MAP (P) sensor utilizes a piezoresistive-type pressure sensor to measure barometric pressure during
periods of ignition on/engine off. MAP and BARO readings are converted to vacuum readings: VACUUM
= BARO - MAP. The vacuum reading is combined with the RPM reading to compare engine speed relative
to engine load. On fuel-injected models, injector pulse width is compared with vacuum to determine fuel
delivery to engine load.
Barometric pressure and manifold vacuum (engine load) are supplied to the engine computer by MAP
sensor voltage (V). High voltage (up to 4.9 volts) indicates a higher engine load. Low voltage (as low as 0.3
volt) indicates a lighter engine load (deceleration or cruising, for example). This information, along with
information from several other sensors, is used by the EEC to determine the correct air/fuel mixture and
spark advance.
A voltage signal from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) informs the engine computer when the throttle is

The Oxygen Sensor, located in the exhaust stream, is one of the primary inputs to the fuel delivery system.
Once the oxygen sensor is warmed up (> 500 degrees), the voltage normally fluctuates between a high
voltage (> 450 mv), indicating a rich condition, and a low voltage (< 450 mv), indicating a lean condition.

Please note that NGC vehicles use O2 sensors that supply a constant 2.5 volts. The normal operating range
for an NGC O2 sensor is 2.5 to 3.5 volts.

to ensure that the sensor is sufficiently warmed up and that the emission
control system is in the closed loop mode of operation.

vapor lock, the higher the throttle body temperature, the wider the injector pulse width and the lower the
sensor voltage.

Part of the OBD II program is for the vehicle to provide a standard interface for off-board diagnostic test
equipment. This standard interface includes a standard test connector (referred to as the J1962 16-pin data
link connector), a standard communication protocol (SAE J1850 PWM, SAE J1850 VPW, ISO 9141-2, ISO
14230-4, and ISO 15765-4) and a standard set of diagnostic test modes/services (SAE J1979, ISO 15031-5).
The intention of CARBs OBD II program was that a single diagnostic tester could be used to read the
diagnostic information from any OBD II compliant vehicle. A tester which satisfies this requirement can be
designated as an OBD II Scan Tool and is defined by the SAE document J1978. One of the requirements of
the OBD II Scan Tool is that it has to work with any OBD II compliant vehicle and that it must be able to
automatically determine all information required to communicate with the vehicle. The operator cannot be
required to enter such vehicle specific information as the vehicle manufacturer, model year, or engine. The
OBD II Scan Tool must determine what protocol the vehicle uses, what diagnostic parameters can be read
from the vehicle, and what tests are supported by the vehicle.
When used with Generic OBD II software, the Tech 1, Tech 1A, and MTS 3100 testers support the basic
requirements of the SAEs J1978 document including automatic determination of vehicle protocol and data
parameters, display of Current Diagnostic Data Parameters, display of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs),
display of Freeze Frame Data captured by the vehicle PCM along with a DTC, clear DTCs and Freeze Frame
Data from the on-board controllers memory, display results of various on-board monitoring tests (e.g.,
oxygen sensor tests), and the capability to expand diagnostic capabilities via the standard Expanded
Diagnostic Protocol.
In addition to these required OBD II Scan Tool functions, the Tech 1, Tech 1A, and MTS 3100 testers
provide a number of enhancements to the OBD II diagnostic functions, including road test support through
the capture of sequences of data parameters (Snapshot), user selectable parameter list allowing the user to
trade-off update rate for amount of data, plot of data parameters (MTS 3100 only), and print a hardcopy of
data parameters.

Major changes in Chryslers electronic engine control strategy were implemented in 1989. Besides offering
faster testing and automatic engine selection, the new system includes several new special tests.
The Chrysler 1983-2004 Powertrain Application can test the 1983-1988 engine control systems as well as
the modern 1989-2004 Powertrain systems.
EECs
CARB EFI
The Electronic Engine Controllers are distinguished by the fuel intake system.
How does this play a role in vehicle system diagnostics? Using the SCI, a diagnostic tester can ask the
vehicle electronic powertrain system controller for diagnostic information or request diagnostic modes.
Diagnostic information contains diagnostic data parameters and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), while
diagnostic command messages are used to command the vehicle controller to operate an actuator (e.g., AIS
motor or ASD relay). Either way, the result is the display of data list parameters and DTCs, or the actuation
of a particular output device.
It is also important to note that while some 1995 and all 1996 and newer Chrysler vehicles are OBD II
compliant, they still support the SCI. Using SCI enables the diagnostic tester to ask for more diagnostic data
from the vehicle electronic powertrain system controller than what can be obtained or displayed from the
SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 OBD II diagnostic test modes (some automotive manufacturers support enhanced
OBD II data which also achieves the same result of displaying more diagnostic data parameters). So, having
the support for SCI gives you more diagnostic information and a diagnostic solution can be achieved faster
and with better results.
Examples are a powertrain controller information that can be sent to the EATX controller, or a body
controller that sends information to an electronic instrument cluster. In both cases, all controllers are
attached to the CCD bus, but there can be one talker on the bus at a time.
How does this play a role in vehicle system diagnostics? The CCD bus offers more than
intercommunications between controllers. It facilitates the diagnostics of several vehicle systems through
the CCD connector. Your diagnostic tester has the capability to control the CCD bus and become the bus
master. When you connect to the CCD bus, the tester automatically identifies the members on the bus. The
tester software displays the necessary action for you to perform. You need to know that the CCD bus is a
method or pathway for vehicle controllers to share information, from which you can use your tester to read
this data and increase your vehicle system diagnostic capability. Spend some time reviewing this and other
service manuals that explain more about the CCD bus. Doing so speeds up your diagnostic productivity and
increases your knowledge of vehicle electronics.
Use of the CCD protocol by engine, transmission, chassis, and body system ECUs applies to MY 1988-2002
Chrysler vehicles.
Examples of SAE J1850 VPW ECUs that Vetronix utilizes for diagnostic purposes are Transmission
Control Modules (TCMs), Anti-Lock Brake System Control Modules (ABS), and Body Control Modules
(BCMs). Each device has an identification code assigned to it that other ECUs can uniquely identify.
O2S location information is divided into cylinder bank and O2S location. Bank 1 contains the sensor that is
downstream from the engine cylinder bank which has number 1 cylinder. Bank 2 contains the sensor
opposite the cylinder Bank 1.
Additionally, O2S location is separated into upstream and downstream, relative to the catalytic converter.
For inline engines and V-configuration engines with Wye exhaust systems and one O2S ahead of the
catalytic converter, O2S 1 is the upstream sensor and O2S 2 is the downstream sensor. This results in the
naming convention bank/location. Examples are:
O2 Sensor 1/1
O2 Sensor 1/1
O2 Sensor 1/2
O2 Sensor 1/2
For V-configuration engines and inline engines with dual exhaust systems, there may be separate upstream
and downstream O2S for each bank. This results in the following naming convention:
O2 Sensor 1/2
O2 Sensor 2/1
O2S 2/2=bank 2, downstream
O2 Sensor 2/2
O2 Sensor 1/2 O2 Sensor 2/2
On some V-configuration engines with 2 upstream O2S, there may be an O2S 3. O2S 3 is the downstream
O2S after the catalytic converter. This configuration may have a third O2S ahead of the catalytic converter,
and results in the following naming convention:
O2 Sensor 1/2
O2S 1/3=bank 1, downstream
O2 Sensor 1/3
Together, these conventions are all used to identify the O2S that may be causing a DTC or producing a
faulty signal. The O2S naming conventions shown here are consistent with J1979. Please consult the
appropriate service manual for more information on the vehicle that you are working on.
