WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module, Air Bag Control Module (ACM) and Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). If replacing PCM and vehicle is equipped with SKIM, secret key data must also be updated to enable engine starting. See PROGRAMMINGΒ .
- Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected properly. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, go to next step. If PCM has been replaced and has already been programmed, go to next step. If PCM has been replaced but has not been programmed, program PCM and clear DTCs. See PROGRAMMINGΒ . After PCM is programmed, go to next step.
- Inspect engine oil for fuel contamination. Change engine oil and filter as necessary. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts, go to next step. If engine does not start, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARS - EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE & STRATUS COUPE article for additional testing. Also, refer to any technical service bulletins that may apply.
- Run engine for one warm-up cycle to verify operation. Using scan tool, confirm that no DTCs or secondary indicators are present and that all components are functioning properly. If a DTC is present, repair is not complete. Perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONSΒ . If no DTCs are present, repair is complete.
